[FIXED] Autonomous romantic relationships with married / taken sims [ Edited ]

[maijakas]

Hi,

Didn't find a specific thread concerning this issue yet, so opened a new one.

I'm starting to get really frustrated with the fact that when playing multiple households, my sims are creating romantic relationships autonomously. For example, when playing another household for a while, my married sims in another household will all of a sudden have romantic relationships with other sims.

I understand that it is a game feature to be able to have affairs even when married, but I think it should be under the players control whether the sims cheat on their spouses or not. If playing multiple households, the player is not in control of the sims realtionships, as they will generate love interests and downright enemies on their own.

This seems to happen a lot - almost every time when switching between households I find my sims with unwanted relationships. Is this a glitch, or just an odd feature in the game? Is it possible to fix this issue, as it makes playing with multiple households extremely annoying? I'm aware that there is a code to modify these unwanted relationships after they have been formed, but it would be great to have this issue fixed or at lest to provide an option to turn autonomous relationships off.

Anyone else find this annoying? Many thanks in advance for helping with this issue!

• We fixed an issue that was unintentionally creating romantic relationships between married Sims not currently in the active household and NPCs. Married sims will not form romantic relationships with other NPCs while you are playing another household.

In my opinion they mostly stem from autonomous flirt interaction on  community lots. When they become flity for whatever reason, they start to flirt with everything that's in sight.

I agree that it's very annoying. 

I had my Sim go on a date the other day, left them alone for 10 min and my Sim was flirting with someone else.

Moving this over to the bug forum although I'm unsure if it can be counted as a bug as such.

It's definitely highly annoying though and should be tweaked. So I'll add it to the list on the next round

EDIT: Added this. Not as much as a bug than a major annoyance for rotational players. It ruins the game for them.

@maijakas Is this issue still happening for you? If it is would you be willing to share some more info so we could look into this? 

1. Are you using any mods? If you are what mods are you using?

2. Could you please send us a .rar or .zip archive of your recent Save files as well as the names of the Sims that were affected in the save you send?

   Simply upload the archive to a 1-click hosting service like dropbox and contact me by PM with the Link and the information.

Thanks!

Could anyone provide with a current save game on this ?

My sims are married, they both are in the same active household and have children, still my lady sims constantly gets angry cause she thought the husband flirted. Funny thing was, first time it happened, the husband was talking to his bro about muscles, I made sure that they would not have any flirting happening. The second and the third time was when the husband was at work. I am so confused here, the husband action at work was "work normally" and usually that does not cause him to flirt or anything like that. How can this be happening?

HI @GGSpiceey

could you please open a new thread ? This is very old and doesn't use the bug template.

Thanks
