Sims automatically perform certain romantic actions, even if they have a dislike for those actions. Because of this, relationship satisfaction drops very quickly. Example: A Sim automatically flirt...

Sims excessively flirt with others

hello!
since the update, my married sims have been autonomously flirting with sims other than their partner. one of these sims has the loyal trait so it was pretty immediately noticed. I started a fresh save with two married sims and they also flirted autonomously outside of the marriage (and were flirted with). unknown if this happens with fiance sims and dating sims.
i don't mind if this happens very occasionally (for the drama, you know) but they're doing it consistently which is a bit of a problem.
thanks,

I noticed this too, and I do not think this is related to the Loyal trait.
I think this is another case of the game treating a missing test set reference as having passed the test. This is identical to the "Sabotage interaction falsely available" bug report. A lot of romantic actions had a new autonomy test added looking for two new test set references that I assume will be in Adventure Awaits.
I was able to hide this issue from my game with an XML tuning mod that created the two missing test sets. I just made them both check to see if both sims were noncommittal. Doesn't really matter what the test is, as long as it can fail and it makes sense for the action.
The problematic code:
