Romantic relationship between family members and children

Ever since the update on February third, family members can have a romantic relationship with each other. I have autonomy turned off, yet I still sometimes get a notificiation that they started a romantic relationship. 

After travelling with the teenager of a family and coming back, I got the notificiation that one of the children started a romantic relationship with a random Young Adult townie. They didn't know each other, nor did they have a friendship bar, just the romance bar was completely filled.
Edit: Aria had a romantic relationship with every single sim in my household, despite none of them ever interacting with her.

While loading into the Darong family I noticed that a sim I added to the family myself had a romantic relationship with everyone but also hated everyone. When I added him in CAS, I made him the husband of Amarachi, that part of the relationship had disappeared. 

I tested this without mods and it's still happening.

  • Do you have this between dynasty family members only or also between families that aren't in a dynasty ?

    None of it seems to be a problem with non dynasty members.

  • I'm fairly certain at least some of this is a bug, but I'm not entirely sure if all of it is. 

    Basically, I was playing with a family and I got two notifications, one for each of my YA sims, saying "romantic satisfaction has begun with Marcel Price". I had never interacted with Marcel Price on this save so I thought that was odd, but I don't know all the features of Royalty and Legacy so I thought maybe he autonomously wished for something and it went wrong.

    So I focused the camera on Marcel who was in the world, and saw him kissing Keven Puri. Which is a sim that I am pretty sure is supposed to be like a foster child of Marcel's, so I think something weird has happened. Went to manage worlds to see if I can learn anything from going into Marcel's household- see if he has any moodlets or anything that would explain, but I found this:  

    He has the same relationship with all the sims he knows, including his children. Almost full romance, red bar halfway on friendship. Only moodlets are "Feeling Great" and "Enchanting Coastline" (From R&L). There doesn't seem to be any unusual activity in his milestones - except that it doesn't have the "fell in love" milestones you usually get when romantic satisfaction begins. 

    This is WEIRD. I was vaguely interested in seeing where the storyline might go when I thought it was a feature, but considering the romance bars with his children I'm now not sure if it's a feature or a bug or a combination of the two. 

    PC, all packs (except some kits) owned, no mods or cc ever used on this save file. 

    I also want to note I've been seeing way more bugs than usual since the R&L release. Most aren't a huge deal, can be fixed with resets or restarting the game, but it's a bit of a nuisance how often things are going wrong.

    hi ToYourStations​ 

    I merged your post with the bug report.

    Make sure to click on upvote.

    Also you say that they have an relationship with everyone they know, das that include non-dynasty members as well or are they not in a dynasty at all ?

  • crinrict​  Not in a dynasty at all - Marcel Price is a premade sim from High School Years and I had not edited the family in any way. In the screenshot, Cristina and Wilson are my sims, and Kevin is a household member of Marcel. The rest are his family. Janae is his wife, Jayden, Sydney, and Savannah are his children.
