Relationships affected since orientation update

Before this update, my sims would have no issue with autonomous romantic actions and they'd always be accepted/reciprocated without any issue (no special traits needed), but since the update, even with full relationships (had to cheat them that way because I couldn't get them to increase naturally for following reasons), they randomly reject each other, even the ones that are married and have their orientations set correctly, the game just behaves as if it doesn't recognize them despite me going through everything and setting it the way it should be. I had thought it was mod-related so I tried an unmodded game in a fresh save to see if it still happened, and it did, even when they aren't autonomous. I tried repairing the game a few times and spawning a new game folder, whatever I could think of, but it still persists. I can't narrow down the issue, but I'm hoping it might just be that the update was poorly implemented and causing my relationships to get messed up, making the game not very fun to play anymore since I like how cute the relationships could be.

    Please describe the changes you did to orientation. Please notice that if you do no changes to sexual orientation it will work as it did before.

    Sorry it took me a while to respond, I haven't played the game in a while due to frustrations with these issues.

    I don't have a single ace/aro sim, as the 'default' settings do not work as stated, so they were all manually set to be bi/pan (attracted to both genders, open to exploration, woohoo with both genders) as they were supposed to be. However, it makes no difference as they continue to reject romantic/friendly gestures and embarrass themselves, regardless of gender and relationship levels. None of this happened before the orientation update, and if it's a bug, it's a very annoying one that I hope gets addressed eventually, because it destroys all the fun of playing with relationships.

    I also want to elaborate that I haven't updated past version 1.90.375.1020, so I don't have the autonomous insult bug like most people do. This is something that only started happening after the orientation/HSY update.
