[RL] Connie Fidential and Fia Acosta's secret roles eventually become unknowable

Connie Fidential and Fia Acosta who are secretly the Information Broker and the Royal Robber respectively, will both inevitably become unidentifiable in those roles once their secrets fade into obscurity (after 90 days have passed).

Once this happens, it will be impossible for any future Sim to identify them as the Information Broker and the Royal Robber. Consequently, this will make the Social Puppeteer aspiration impossible to complete without the use of cheats. Furthermore, even if a Sim has already successfully identified Conni Fidential as the Information Broker, the option to use her services in person will no longer be present after her secret expires.

The "Robbing the Neighborhood" secret (Fia Acosta) and "The Shadow Broker" secret (Conni Fidential) both expire after 90 days. They should never expire. Additionally, should their secrets be exposed and turn into scandals, once those scandals expire, they should revert back to being secrets (with no expiration).

Yes, I tried desperately to re-discover their secrets and wasn't able to, I thought it might have just been my one save file. Knowing this is happening to others too, makes the need to vocalize this even more.
Agreed neither of these should expire, and should be re-discoverable (or re-expose) by other Sims in the same save file.
I wasn't able to re-discover Fia Acosta and Cordelia Thebe V's secret relationship either, is this another one? Or were you able to re-discover this one too?

HollownessDevour No, Secret Lovers (involving any pairs of Sims) aren't discoverable again upon expiry of the secret. If you really want Cordy and Fia's relationship to be a discoverable secret again, you could just have Cordy amicably break off the relationship (ask to be just friends) and restart it again. That brings it back as a secret in your notebook again, but again, it'll eventually expire.
The "Robbing the Neighborhood" and "The Shadow Broker" having an expiry is a real problem though, as the expirations will permanently block off an aspiration, and you'll lose the ability to use Connie's services in person and never get it back.

Yep, I cannot complete the Social Puppeteer aspiration, I was really confused about why, my first though was another bug, and... here it is!. Between this bug/omission and more bugs like the Scandal Icon not going away, and more (just write [RL] on the search bar) I stoped playing with this pack, maybe in 6 months time?. Cannot recommend.
Thamk you for attention to this matter!.
