LE related to matchmaking service

Platform: PC (EA app + Steam)

Game version: 1.114.46.1030

DLCs installed: all except Journey to Batuu and Restoration Workshop kit

Modded?: yes, all compatible with the latest patch, no broken CC either and according to Better Exceptions mods are not listed in the exceptions

I've gotten two last exceptions that, according to BE, are the exact same and could have the same cause. The possible cause mentioned is "cpp_message" and the reason is "Exception occurred while attempting to populate a repeated field: (EncodeError: Message is missing required fields: [b'accountid'])". The exceptions occured in a save that I started just recently and I can't really pinpoint what I was doing when they happened (I think for the more recent LE I was trying to save a lot I edited from build mode to my library, can't remember for the other one), but BE's report said they happened before or during zone load. 

I did some digging on here and found out that the exceptions could be related to Cupids Corner's functionality of sims from the gallery appearing as matches. I've had Lovestruck since it came out and never experienced these errors, but in the save I'm playing in (where I got them) I changed the default setting of any sims from the gallery being pulled to appear as matches on the dating app to only pulling sims I favorited on the gallery or from creators I've favorited. Turns out I don't have any gallery sims favorited, just added to my library, which I guess are not the same thing and I image could cause the LEs since the game doesn't have any sims to choose from to show on Cupids Corner.

I don't know for sure if that could be the cause of the LEs happening, but considering this is a first time thing for me that occured right after I change that setting, it makes sense to me. I haven't tested the game without mods since I don't think the issue is mod related and I already checked many times for any broken/outdated mods (which there are none).
