@yani_tsm Thanks for the screenshots. 

The way in which the information is shown on the cards was changed in the High Fashion update (September 2019). 

Here's an example. On the left side you can see how it was before the High Fashion update. It showed same time (1 h 18 s) when Bella (adult w/out good upbringing) had a family event with a child who already had good upbringing. After the update, it showed 57 min. on the card and an effective duration of 1 hour. Those 3 minutes are due to the kid's GU trait, not Bella's as she doesn't have GU. 

Tap or click on the image to enlarge:

I asked then for an explanation. The answer I had is that nothing's actually changed in terms of the actual event duration as the 18s are just rounded off. 

Event duration is reduced only if the triggering Sim has the trait.
 
The issue here is the information displayed on the card. It is expecting the target Sims's GU to reduce the event duration when it's only the triggering Sim's trait that can affect event duration.

@SalixCat I remember that when I was redoing all stories sometime during Spring 2019 (after new chapters were introduced in February 2019 update) I tried to find the sims with matching traits because it shortened the duration. And it made total sense for the other traits to affect the duration of the hangouts. Especially since hangout is a two-way street and if both parties have outgoing/competitive/alluring traits, it made sense for the duration to be shorter. I guess I thought it was a feature, but it looks like it was a bug and I took advantage of it :-)
