Romantic Relationships decay without reason (Patch 1.117.228)

Bought the lovestruck expansion in the last month and my sims are happily married and within 2 days went to no romance. I tried a new game and I cannot get romance to stay up and regular goes down way too fast now too.

Edit By Crinrict: adjusted title

  • Also just bought this pack and am having the same issue. Romance is almost completely gone within two days which is impossible to keep up with, especially when they are not in the same household and have a day off work in between seeing each other.

    Im on PC (windows) and on this device have no CC or mods and never have.

    The mechanic that is currently used ignores the rotational players. In case of rotational players, I think it would be better if the decay would not affect the households that are currently not played, because everyone ends up in a miserable relationship if you don't play them.

    Experiencing this same bug in my saves.

    • Are you using mods/cc in your game ? Please remove them and test without them if you do: ”I have tried and it has no effect”
    • What platform are you playing on (PC, Mac, Playstation, XBox): ”PC”

    Agreeing, relationship decay since I installed Lovestruck has gotten absurd for me to the point where if I spend 1-2 Sim days in another household, I will return to the bars dramatically lowered and the relationship dynamic changed to Unsatisfied or Very Unsatisfied immediately, regardless of where it was when I left a pair of Sims.

    I'm on Mac with no mods/CC in my game.

    I actually see this happening even not owning LS, with and without mods.

    Hi all,

    If you're experiencing this issue, to help us investigate further, please be sure to provide additional details for us instead of only voting on the bug.

    -Do you currently use mods/CC in your game?
    -Which platform are you playing on?

    Thank you!

    Yes!!!  My sims had a great relationship, then they had a baby (which ended up being twins) and even with me trying to only have romantic interactions between then, keeping the babies alive mean they had no romantic bar by the time their kids were children age.  Then I had to try it build up again and it would drop if I focused on the kids so I just figured they are what they are and kids killed the romance.  I guess this can happen IRL too - but it shouldn't be so hard to have a couple in love stay in love once they have a family. 

  • Could you please provide the following information
