Sims excessively flirt with others

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 flirts with their partner, even though both of them are dissatisfied with flirting. Relationship satisfaction drops, and as a result, the Sims start arguing.

Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title

Note by crinrict

I've merged a few threads into this one. It is possible that there's a new flavor to this since Patch 1.118.242 but it's difficult to keep them all apart.

Issues I've seen mentioned that are currently tracked here (yes, this has been communnicated to a CM to make definite decisions on this).

  • Sims excessively flirting despite their likes
  • Sims excessively flirting despite being in a relationship
  • Sims excessively flirting no matter the relationship with the other Sim
  • Sims excessively flirting despite their emotions.

    I've been noticing a lot of autonomous flirting between household member lately. It bothered me but i just thought it was the sims autonomy doing annoying stuff as usual but now my loyal sims who are in relationships (one married and the other dating) are now flirting with their household members autonomously. 

    I do play with mods to be clear but I have since deactivated my relationship mods due to the new update and it's still happening just as much.

  • NEW!! I read that one of the bug issues around Sims flirting with family members has been resolved but now there's a new issue.

    My Sim husband who has the Good trait was WooHooing with his wife and received a negative moodlet because he felt bad for cheating on his partner! She is his partner!

    for me, it's every sim flirting with everyone, with no reason.

  • It seems to happen all the time, even when not in a flirty mood they constantly do this, with everyone it seems, so not with someone in particular either. 

    Even a loyal married sim did it. Repeatedly. It was the main reason for their eventual divorce because she kept doing it. 

    No sims should ever automatically flirt when not in a flirty mood, and a loyal sim should never flirt with anyone else than their partner if in a relationship.
