First kiss/other kissing and intimate interactions disappeared

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Microsoft XBOX One
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Rarely (0% - 9%)
What is your current game version number? Base: 1.17.4.2300 (64 Bit)
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Island Living, Get Famous, Cats & Dogs, City Living, Get Together, Get to Work. Vampires. Vintage Glamour Stuff.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? The specific situation involved a new game on Sulani of two young adult sims, roommates with a shared teenage child but not married, one human and one mermaid. While issuing interaction commands through only one of the 2 young adults, I was stringing together a line of romantic interactions with a friendly interaction after every second or third romantic to build both friendship and romance meters.
What happens when the bug occurs? Once the romance meter was appropriately high the first kiss interaction appeared as an option. However, after several other romantic interactions occurred(i.e. flirt, compliment appearance, blow kiss) and a single friendly interaction occurred(discuss interests), the first kiss option vanished. Despite other previous romance interactions being available and the successful use of these interactions, first kiss never reappeared nor have the later interactions such as kiss, give massage, woohoo, ect. ever appeared.
What do you expect to see? I expected the first kiss interaction to remain available so long as the relationship meter remained high enough, until such time as it was successfully used. After which I expected the further romance interactions to become available as normal with an increase in the relationship.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? On console - never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

I have created several new households of a similar situation both using the same DLC and even on the exact same lot in recent days and never experienced this problem. Restarting the game and reloading the save did not fix the issue.

  • @denversgray Could you test if maybe the blow kiss counts as first kiss for some reason ? Like try with another couple, use that interaction and see if it disappears and not use it and see if it doesn't disappear.
  • @denversgray maybe because of your approach of mixing in friendly interactions, you're not achieving a high enough social context score?

    What I mean is, it requires a certain level of social context - if you string a bunch of romance interactions together, you go from a casual conversation > suggestive conversation > amorous conversation > steamy conversation.

    If you're weaving in some friendly interactions, you could be killing the romantic mood and dragging the conversation back towards friendly rather than romantic context.

    For First Kiss to appear, it needs a high enough romantic context. Usually an amorous level conversation will guarantee it, but other things also boost your context score, like having a high charisma, so it can appear sooner than that depending on your sim.

    Try doing exclusively romantic actions to see if it appears.
