Relationship stuck on lovers/acquaintance
So, I'm banging my head against a wall on this one. My sim was in a relationship with Sim1 and it wasn't formalized, he never asked them out but it was sufficiently filled enough to rank as soulmates though I didn't realize it at the time. My sim then started a relationship with Sim2 and it wouldn't progress to soulmate, it was stuck on lovers.
After going through my relationships to figure out why I figured it must be because of the soulmates on Sim1 so I went and asked them to be friends but the soulmates was still stuck!, I didn't' want to end it harshly, but if it was the only way I reloaded and used the mean interaction and it worked, but Sim2 is still stuck and her bars are maxed so there is not much changing that can be done. If I ask to be just friends to 'start over' she reverts to acquaintances but with a full friendship bar.
None of the cheats to modify or reset relationships are working (turns out after digging around online some/all of them may have been removed a long time ago now?). With the new sentiments, trying to do a mean breakup is going to take a long time to repair, and with my sims lifestyles waiting around for it to decay is going to take until they're elders or beyond lol. Any of the posts I've found on this particular issue are 5+years old and the solutions involve the said cheats I can't get to work. Any advice, solutions, cheats for 2021? I don't use mods, not that I'm opposed to them, just like to play vanilla.
@WhantSomeEggs Sounds like you got a bit of a combination of these bugs: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Married-sims-who-have-been-best-friends-for-a-while-remain-as/m-p/9491432and https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-INPUT-A-Sims-can-t-become-soulmates/td-p/7905918
Not sure if there's any solutions to those but maybe someone found something in either of these.
For the cheats to work you need the allcheats mods by twisted mexi.
