My sims keep using mean interactions when talking with their partners. I don't know if anyone else is having this problem but it started after the most recent update.
Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title
Please keep threads on topic. Use the following threads for mischief and romance:
Another new and separate issue (from the Adventure Awaits testsets being borked) - my Loner sim joined the Capp dynasty from the Royalty and Legacy pack and suddenly started autonomously swearing at friends, family, and perfect strangers for absolutely no reason.
I'm guessing this is because being a Loner conflicts with being Diplomatic (one of the values) but why would that mean someone with social anxiety yells at and insults their friends?
Do you guys not have people testing this game? Playing it as a normal player would play? I don't feel it's out job to do testing. I'll do it, begrudgingly, because I want these things fixed. But I will say EA's consumer base should not have the responsibility to test/troubleshoot software fall on them.
sims are being mean or rude to each other more than usual and the sometimes show a negative mood let for no reason and this same for Romane and friendship relationships it only happens when love struck is active in my game.
I have updated my sims game repaired it started fresh save and only have 3 mods in game more cas columns mods guard and dark mode loading screen I have also deleted the sims 4 file in the documents folder and stared over there as well it only happens when I have love struck in my game and this has been happening before I have done all this I have been playing without love struck for the past 2 month because of this
It happens to me too. I select a conversation and my sim inmediatly goes to a mean one after that for no reason.
I don't understand what happened to my family. Up until the February 12th patch, they were getting along great, and then all of a sudden, when I re-entered the game, every member of the family was insulting each other. Both between children and between parents (their relationship was positive!). Even loyal Sims are mean with each other, causing the guilt buff to appear and also lowering their romantic satisfaction. Is it possible that the bug of sims being mean for no reason has returned?
It happened after I created my dynasty with R&L, because it happened only to that family (for now). I made their ideals run counter to unkindness, yet they are mean to each other. It's not supposed to happen, right? Is it maybe related to the dynasty system itself? 🤔
My game is updated at the last patch, I play vanilla (no mod/cc).
The house doesn't have any malus trait, nobody has the mean or evil trait.
Just human sims, not occults!
Update: disabling sims autonomy, I barely resolved... but still my relationships are damaged due to the bug.
Autonomous mean interactions are back (as well as autonomous romantic interactions). No CC no mods. Fix your game.
Had the same issue.
Community ManagerFinally got around to posting in this thread - I am a modder and noticed a high level of inappropriate mean interactions (and autonomous fighting) after the Adventure Awaits base game update. I dug into the coding to investigate why.
It appears that a number of tests on sim autonomy are pack-locked to Adventure Awaits, and if someone doesn't have the pack they trigger autonomously. This includes many mean socials and interactions. Autonomous fighting was partially fixed in a new update, but the larger issue with mean interactions remains because there's a specific testset intended to check and see if someone is on a getaway where the interaction is encouraged and - when the player does not own AA - the test automatically passes.
I was able to fix this bug in my own game by taking the Adventure Awaits testsets and flagging them as base game. I don't own AA myself, and this has fixed it.
The mod I made for this is available as "Flirting and Mischief Autonomy Fixes" and you can find it on Itch.io and on Nexus. The modfix also includes the mean interactions, despite the name. The game is pretty much not playable without this fix (unless you own AA, disable autonomous mean socials with MCCC, or turn autonomy off, pretty much.)
EA_Solaire Hi, I started a new scenario yesterday and didn't notice that my settings in ea app had been blanked. This meant my sims game started with lovestruck enabled. I hate that pack as it always kills off my sims with a broken heart. Anyway while I had this pack enabled my sims couldn't have a pleasant conversation, they were continually rude to each other and building a relationship was impossible, and this is in a micro home where relationships are supposed to be easier. The next thing I did was to disable lovestruck and hey presto no more mean interactions. I didn't video this but could start over and video if you like. I do use some mods mccc, uicheats and the unmentionable one.
