romance bar is not showing up
Hey there, whenever my Sim manages to strike up a romantic interaction with any Sim, I can see a heart with a + sign above my Sim's head, but the romance bar doesn't show. I've tried deleting all the...

Thank you for your reply! Manually I checked all the modes I have, unfortunately nothing has changed. Moreover, as a result of my countless attempts, the game stopped seeing mods (although it had seen them before), and now neither clothes, hairstyles, nor shoes are visible in the game. I don't even know what to do anymore ☹️
I reinstalled the game and all the mods I have, and it's not working ☹️
@AeronXell Okay, let's get you back working in some organized steps. Follow this:
First we'll clear a blank slate but save your content to put back in:
- Drag your Mods and Saves folders to your desktop and delete the file called localthumbcache.
- Start the game and exit. This makes new folders for you.
Then we'll test mods and CC until you have a working test save:
- For mods that are listed in Broken/Updated Mods , delete your old copy from your desktop Mods folder and download a new one. Check the installation instructions, and install in the new Mods folder, not the old one.
- Check the "Core/Injector/Testing" list in Broken/Updated Mods for any mods you use, and do the same as in #1 for those. The list there lets you know which are the current versions. If you didn't already have ModGuard, include that.
- Now open Sims and test in a new game. Save that game as "Test Save". Make sure your romance bar is there. Easiest way to do this is make a quick married couple in that initial CAS and stick them in a cheap house.
- Okay! Your mods in the working Mods folder are working, and what's left is the rest of the old desktop Mods folder. Start adding those in batches. Test between batches. If you find a batch not working, remove part of the batch. When you identify a broken mod, check for an update at the creator's site. If there isn't an update, delete the mod.
- Add the CC back in last.
When you're done, you can put your old saves back in the new Saves folder. If you saved previously when you'd removed CC, so you have bald Sims, you can restore a previous save point: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Mod-CC-Issues/I-need-help-fixing-my-save/m-p/12640403#M42078
Thank you for your reply! Yes, thats what I did in the beginning when trying to find the issue. I deleted everything from my mods folder, I also reunistalled the game just in case; I dont have many mods, so it wasn't too hard updating them all, and I noticed that my game had problems only when I had both MC and WW in my folder. If I remove them, it seems to be working perfectly fine. That's why I am so confused. I made sure that all these mods are updated and placed in the right folders, so there shouldnt be problems and yet this game has some.
@AeronXell I think you might need to head for support to creators' forums if you're getting unexpected conflicts between their mods. And test those two mods without the other mods in there, as suggested earlier. One of them has other mods that depend on it, so when you remove it, you're making it as if you removed those other mods. It could be one of the other mods that's your problem. You could test with an empty folder, then add only the two mods that seem to conflict, then start on other mods.
