How to stop my Sim from doing autonomous mean interactions?
I have a Sim who, more often than not, autonomously chooses mean interactions with a specific Sim (her BF to be exact). Their friendship and love meters are both maxed out, "soulmates" and all. She is not an evil Sim (he is, though). There are no bad sentiments between them. Well, there were some in the past, but those expired long ago. Other Sims aren't mean to him unless he has a bad relationship with them. I don't get why his GF is constantly picking the insult or similiar options even after I picked a bunch of friendly or romantic interactions with her. In order to prevent this I have to constantly pause the game every time they're in a convo and line up interactions before she picks something from the mean menu. It's starting to annoy me alot. I know there is a way in MCCC to disable specific interactions for ALL Sims, but that's not what I want. I only want this particular Sim to stop using mean (and mischief) interactions because it's out of character and the opposite of how I envisioned her to be. Her traits are: creative, perfectionist, romantic. On a side note, I tested the game without any mods (well, apart from WW) and she was still mean to him the very first chance she got, so it's not like mods are influencing this behaviour. She isn't this way to other Sims. I guess giving her the "good sim" trait is useless since I have witnessed Sims with said trait doing mean interactions with other Sims. Any other ideas or solutions? Is this a case of old lingering sentiments that are still active despite no longer being on their profiles? Are sims automatically mean to Evil sims, even if they're romantic/friendly? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
I have had this problem for quite a long time. I noticed it several months ago and stopped playing for a while until recently. Then I remembered this bug and it seems worse now than it was before. I think it has to do with hidden/stuck negative sentiments. I tried everything and nothing worked. In one household the other sim was Evil but it happened in a separate save where nobody was mean or evil. It was because Father Winter flirted with my sim and was accused of cheating by their spouse. The sentiment went away but days later the autonomous mean behavior started between them and these are sims that are never mean to each other, and almost nothing bad ever happens in this household. Then I did a tester save with two new sims, had them go steady, had one cheat on the other and after the negative sentiment wore off,the mean behavior started again. So I think it is related to a lingering/stuck sentiment that we can't get rid of by typing in cheat commands (I tried!). If you're not opposed to mods I found a mod over at MTS called Easy Sentiments Cheats and it works for base game sentiments. As a last resort I tried this the other day and it worked. It got rid of the "invisible" grudges and now everything is back to normal. I don't think I can link it here but that's the name of the mod and where it can be found. Good Luck!
