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.

Please keep threads on topic. Use the following threads for mischief and romance:
This might be related to RL and their Dynasty system but I'm not completely sure because it's only affecting one singular member.
One of my sims seems to be hit with the Mean bug again, shouting forbidden words and yelling at family members autonomously. My sim's children are now getting the Big Meanie Face sentiment in their Profile. It's also dramatically affecting the Romance level for my sim and their husband.
The Dynasty I'm in encourages acting nice and my sim has the Good trait.
No Mods
All of my Sims are using mean interactions with Sims they have full bars with (doesn't matter what kind if relationship. It happens with bith friends and romantic partners). It's driving me crazy because they'll be having s perfectly normal conversation, and then they'll just start yelling at each other. Sometimes i can catch it in time to cancel it, but i have a 5 sim household, so i can't catch all of them. And my teen sim has a boyfriend from outside the household.
It's super aggravating because it creates a negative sentiment (which take a while to go away) and I have to build up the relationship again. I can find no fixes for it, and all of the forums I'm finding about it are a year older or more with no solution. My Sims don't have the 'mean' trait, so I have no idea what's causing it.
It's not mods, as I play on the Playstation, so mods are physically impossible for me. That's also why I can't use the MCCC fix. It's happening in all of my households, no matter the neighborhood, if that matters.
Also having this issue again. My empathic, proper sim is autonomously being mean to her best friend. :(
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.
