Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have two sims in a romantic relationship perform Romance interactions
What happens when the bug occurs? Sim develops Fear of Being Cheated On and a notification appears, reading "It feels like it has been forever since [Sim] has been romantic with [their] partner. But [Sim] can't help but wonder what [their] partner is up to..."
What do you expect to see? Fear of Being Cheated On not being triggered after sims perform Romance interactions
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Not sure
I'm not sure if this is just an issue of incongruence between the notification text and the actual in-game mechanic, but the sim I tested this with developed a Fear of Being Cheated On immediately after WooHooing with his partner twice in a row. The notification text seems to imply that this fear should develop when sims in a relationship have not performed Romance interactions for some time.
This was a brand new save I was using to test another bug and I had been playing in it for just a few minutes.
The sim I tested this with had the Hot-Headed trait, but not the Jealous trait. Not sure if that could influence the probability of the fear developing.
The notification appeared shortly after canceling the welcome wagon - not sure if that may have interfered as well, as the household sims lost relationship points with the neighbor sims.
I have also observed seemingly unexplained relationship fear development in my main saves, though I usually play with mods.
The relationship fears (Fear of Being Cheated On, Fear of Being Alone) seem to also have an impact on romantic relationship level and romance satisfaction, causing them to drain incredibly quickly.
