child sims can not make friends

[darian93]

Same here. Does not matter what the age is, my sims lose all of their relationships. I have never downloaded anything except for the official updates for Sims 4.

I've just experienced this bug for the first time (to my knowledge). I created a male sim and his daughter, then he went to the park and met a woman. They immediately started a date and built a strong romantic relationship. He came home and went to sleep. The next morning I thought I'd invite her over, but she wasn't in the relations panel. I even went into household management and didn't see her anywhere there.

If she's not in the households anymore, you have this issue: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4-Bug-Reports/Common-Disappearing-Sims/td-p/3630991

Hey there, 

I also have the same problem, I first had a family whom I ended up deleting to see if this will fix the problem, it seemed like it did, started a new family all over again and it seemed to have worked and I reached the 4th generation of this family and bam, it happened again to the family, I go out there and start convos and make friends but I lose all of them the same night. The dead ones stay though, even though the bar isn't even 1% full they just stay. 

Ended up deleting this family as well, now, I'm playing with one sim both parents dead and yes, I played him through many lifetimes as a member mentioned above.

Here's what I noticed, this all happens when my sims join the culinary career, the first family I had one in the mixology branch and then it happened, same for the 2nd family, i had a sim join the chef career.

Now, my latsest sim reached the top of the culinary career and when i quit to join the secret agent career it happened all over again (level 5) it requires 5 friends and when I went out and made 7 friends, went back home and poof they were all gone, tried repairing the game but it didn't work.

Not sure if it's related to the culinary career or when a career needs friends to advance this starts happening, I just hope it gets fixed cause i'm not willing to replay all this again, especially not after I only have one plant left to complete the collection.

Anyway, Thanks a lot and sorry for writing too much, I just hope that the job thing helps you in any way possible.

Thanks again.

Do those SIms only disppear from your relationship bar or from the game ?

Hey, 

They disappear from the relationship bar only. 

Thanks.

Hi,

my sim is somehow unable to keep enemies (which are needed for advances in carreers and life goals). The sim can get in to fights with 2 sims in one day, but after going home the relationships are both gone. Only enemy I kept was the one I bound to my voodoo doll (which I can not unbind by the way).

When I tried a cheat to make enemies (relationship.destroy) the same happened: the sim disappeared from the relationship panel.

Just the relationship panel or are they purged from the game ?

You can go to Manager World - Manage Household to see if they still existin in your game.

The game purges homeless SIms once you have a certain amount of SIms in your town. See this: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4-Bug-Reports/Common-DIsappearing-Sims/td-p/3630991/

I checked the manage household menu today and found out that these sims still exist in my game, but their status was "not in this world". I gave them a home and when my sim met the character again, they were strangers.
