[GF] Sim with neutral reputation receives “unscrupulous friend” phone call

Issue Description:
A Sim with a neutral reputation receives a phone call asking if their number can be shared with an “unscrupulous friend.” This call typically implies the Sim has an awful reputation. However, the Sim in question has never had a negative reputation at any point prior to the call.

Expected Behavior:
The “unscrupulous friend” phone call should only trigger for Sims who have actively gained an awful negative reputation. A Sim with a consistently neutral or positive reputation should not receive this call.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Create a new Sim
  2. Ensure the Sim has never performed negative reputation actions
  3. Play normally for several in-game days.
  4. Wait for a phone call about an “unscrupulous friend” sharing the Sim’s number.
  5. Check Reputation panel to confirm reputation remains neutral and no negative history exists.

Actual Result:
The call occurs despite neutral reputation and no negative history. The game treats the Sim as if they have been associating with negative-reputation Sims or acting questionably.

Additional Notes:

  • Could also be a leftover trigger from a reputation threshold that no longer applies.
  • Does not visibly lower reputation, but the call implies an awful reputation.
  • Occurs across multiple saves and households.
