Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Microsoft XBOX One
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.32.85.2300
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? N/A
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Develop a relationship with another sim to a romance level where you can ask a sim out on a date using the phone. Go to the phone and select, "Ask on a Date." The phone gives a bad reception moodlet no matter the sim I am playing or what world I am playin in. Also gives a yellow embarrassed moodlet because the sim didn't or wasn't able to accept the date. Been seeing this for about 2 months.

What do you expect to see? I expect to see the "ask out on date" option to work and spawn the two sims to travel together. I also expect to be able to complete the Serial Date and Soul Mate aspirations.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? On console - never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure

Ive had this issue as well. I find the best work around is to invite the sim to the lot first, then ask for a date in person.

Hi, on pc, no mods or cc,
i just tested out a few different sims in different saves files. this is what i got.
test 1-my current 009 save, the sim i was playing (created sim) living in newcrest called his girl(created sim) living in CL hood, he got turned down, got embarrassed moodlet with the stupid happy cellphone moodlet. Photo 1
test 2-i split the pancakes couple,she moved next door,she called, it loaded map so call date worked, forgot to take photo.
test 3- 007 save I had a married couple i created but never played so i split them,she called,it worked photo 2
test 4 - 004 save, my serial dater sim, 1st he called jordan(npc), got turned down,got that other stupid angry cellphone moodlet with embarrass photo 3
test 5 - same serial dater now he called dianna(npc), they went out.
So after these test i noticed looking at the photos it seems the romance bar could b the culprit, the low bar like jordan said no, but dianna at 50% and the married couples went on date.
So check where your romance bar is at, maybe it needs to b a certain amount for it to b accepted.
Of course the 'stupid' cellphone moodlets is something that probably will never b taken away. sidenote-I was 1 of the 1st group of people to talk about it back in june, but it got locked cause i wrote it as an 'angry' moodlet rant. yet, i still play for 6 yrs,well 20 yrs starting with sims 1.
take care, stay safe,enjoy playing even with the glitches

Also having this problem. Thought it was a mod, but had it happen in my save with no CC installed. If a sim calls another for a date, nothing happens. If I invite the sim over and then select "Ask on Date" in the romance menu, it proceeds normally.

I've done some further testing with a fresh save.
Had two neighbours flirt with each other enough to get to the "Ask on Date" to appear in the phone menu, then sent them home.
Sim A is able to ask Sim B on a date from the phone menu, just like normal.
I then switched to Sim B's house and repeated the same action. The phone call happens, then he disappears off to stare at a plant or painting, or something more thrilling than going on a date.
