Re: Sims 4 relationships stuck on "acquaintances"

Finaly i managed to solve this problem by doing the following:

-testingcheats on
-CAS.fulleditmode
-Shift-clicked on my sim, edited his name to something else. pressed accept, this took a while, i almost thought the game froze up
-Did the same for my other bugged sim
-Now they got working ID's
-typed in the relationship.destroy to reset all of their relationships one by one

That's it, they can become friends with others now, and the FPS is stable 60 again, no more stuttering. Such an easy solution yet no one thought about it on other forums.
Hope this helps for all those sad simmers !

    So it seems the actual Sims were bugged in some way.

    Glad you solved it.

    I have no mods and base game only. I have created new Sims in new save game. Relationships are not updating at all during Sims socialization. It says acquaintances when relationship bar shows 100%. Clearly relationship bits cannot be updated during social interactions, but on traveling or game restart. Mind you, I will not restart game or travel with map during social interactions. Please fix this bug with relationship bits. Sims don't get even buff indicating their friendship, when it clearly should be the case, because relationship bar shows maximum points. I have repaired the game right after update. Sims are fresh right from the CAS in a new created The Sims 4 folder without any other single save inside this folder.

    Cheats are not a solution for me, i hope you understand.

    I didn't update my game on my main computer, because the fact of broken relationship bits will make my game unplayable for me. As well I cannot buy  new SPs in this case, because installation will require a game update.

    I please you to look into this problem and bring fix as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding and your time.

    P.S. The relationship bug happened at me right after update, came with the Fitness SP on 15 June 2017.

    Hi! I am also experiencing the same issue with four of my sims. I have 8 sims living together, but four of them are friends with some, stuck at acquaintances for others. I've tried the solution you gave but it hasn't done anything. I've also been looking up ways to fix it but i can't get anything to work. I know this is reaaaally late from your comment but idk what else to do ;-;
