Autonomous relationships after update.

So I'm currently having an issue after the latest november update where whenever I take my sim anywhere and then look at her relationships panel, I'm finding that EVERY single npc sim in the area ends up showing as "friends" when she's never even interacted with them before and these are sims I would never have the desire to let my sim interact with. To put it another way, simply by being around them all of the sudden the green bar jumps to friendship level. I know this is a bug because Pre-patch this wasn't an issue and I could choose what sims I want my sims to be friends with. This wouldn't be an issue if it weren't for the fact that when these sims i care nothing about die, my poor sims is going to get slapped with back to back 2 day sad moodlet which is just ridiculous.

    So I thought that the hotfix to the patch would fix this issue, but apparently it's still a thing. Whenever my sim goes anywhere other than the home lot and I look at her relationship panel, let's say that there are 10 sims in the immediate area. My sim suddenly recognizes them ALL as friends, meaning that the green friendship bar automatically goes all the way up to friendship level without her even talking or interacting with those sims. It's an incredibly annoying bug due to the fact that before the patch, I used to be able to pick and choose what npc sims I wanted my sim to befriend, but now it's all just autonomous and random and I have to spend time using the 'modifyrelationship' cheat to get rid of those friendships, especially the ones with elders or else when they die, my sim gets hit with back to back to back annoying 2 day sad moodlet about some sim i care nothing about. If there is a workaround or fix for this, then i'd appreciate some assistance. I've already tried the method of moving the mods folder and deleting the localthumbnailchache. package file, but the issue is still persisting.
