Since today's update (July 23, 2024) I noticed the sims in my game (both my sims and the other sims) are being mean for no reason. First, my sim's visiting best friend yelled at her, the next day my...

As for a fix, try turning autonomy off in game settings.

Doesn't fix the problem because conversations between sims are always going to be autonomous (even with autonomy off) to keep conversation flowing. Even if you're able to quickly cancel an autonomous mean interaction as they appear in your queue, the sim you're conversing with is inevitably going to be mean to the sim that you're currently controlling, so the conversation is pretty much doomed to take an unpleasant turn. I'm putting the game aside until they fix this.

I turned atonomy off in my game and have had no mean interactions since. I rebuilt their relationships and they have not gone down. They don’t interact unless I tell them to. They will still go to take care of the newborn. It’s not a great fix because I have to micromanage each sim more than normal. It’s an option to at least make it until they fix the issue.

They don't interact until I tell them to either, but this doesn't fix anything. Once I opt to have two sims interact in dialogue, it's only a matter of time before one or the other starts autonomously (yes, even with autonomy turned completely off) yelling or shouting forbidden words. Can't understand how you're not experiencing the same thing unless you're not actually allowing for a conversation to flow between them.

I had a group of three sims chat on their own for several minutes before one started being mean. A forth sim not under my control joined the convo then he started being mean. So it’s more of a work around for household sims. They still are not mean as often they were before I turned autonomy off. My game play style very micromanaging and is more at home so it’s probably not going to help those who like to let their sims do their own thing or take their sims out all the time.
