I'm still getting this issue to this day. It's really bad when you send your sim to University, i keep getting popups for nearby sims or roommates... Unplayable literally.

I keep having this same issue, happens when a sim from a played household is near even if they aren’t active at the moment

Sims 4 getting likes/dislikes pop ups from Sims not in household

Champion

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Xbox Series S
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? 1.48.5.2300
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Courtyard, island living, luxury party, laundry day, snowy escape, glamour, knitting, jungle, realm of magic, bowling, cats and dogs, my first pet, outdoor retreat, country kitchen, throwback fit, toddler, decorator, fitness, romantic garden, dine out, movie hangout, university, Gnome on the go, perfect patio, spa day, kids room, industrial loft, parenthood, backyard, Strangerville, Moschino, animal hats, Tiny living, City living, Get famous, life of the party, get to work, up all night, cottage living, get together, seasons, cool kitchen, grims guitar, Incheon arrivals, fashion street
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Attend a community lot or social event with previous housholds/played Sims. Walk the dog or jog past other Sims jogging or fishing.
What happens when the bug occurs? Constant interruptions asking to add likes. I already had this for financial updates for previous households which was annoying but not as intrusive as it's just a notification. This actually interrupts the game as you have to answer it.
What do you expect to see? There are enough bugs at the moment that affect gameplay I'm sorry to say. I don't want these added interruptions. It's very much affecting social events. Attending gyms, anywhere music is playing, even walking the dog or shopping, it's constant.
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? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. Since Likes were added to the game.

I just had a Sim wedding ruined by this. It was fully attended by Sims I'd created and I had constant interruptions for Likes for dancing/music genres every minute or so it was ridiculous and ruined the whole event. At one point I got a series of them within seconds. I could hardly get my Sims married for the interruptions (along with other bugs reported on appropriate threads!)

I've already reported about Likes being intrusive, leading to them stopping whatever they are doing to dance to particular music or admire things. I don't add Likes in CAS at all now as it just causes too many issues but it's impossible to escape them.

I've been getting these notices as well. Example... I assume this hot mess is Nancy Landgraab, who I don't play (unless I opened the household for some random reason at some time in the past). It popped up today when I had one of my families buy and move into a home I'm building/testing, so they had just moved in:

I believe I've seen this happen 2-3 other times at least while testing this home in the last week and a half or so - maybe each time was when the family is newly moved in? (And I'm pretty sure one of the other times was a popup from her hubby, Geoffrey.)

 

I'm on Mac, fully updated, have all packs, and have never had Mods or CC.

I still keep getting these notifications, it's really quite annoying because it makes the experience unplayable.

Yes, me too, ever since the likes system was installed. I play rotationally, the pop ups are always for played households (just not the active), and I get  MANY of them. It is so infuriating since it breaks immersion, and cancels out any pending action my current sim is dealing with. I HATE this feature! If I want to set my sims likes and dislikes I want to do ti ONLY from manage worlds/CAS or when I am playing that household. PLEASE fix this !!!

I actually like it but then again I'm kinda of a control freak when I play. It only pops up for played sim households(I play rotationally) and it doesn't happen so often that it's overwhelming, but to each their own. Just my two cents.

I love this feature because it means I don't have to go around and individually choose likes/dislikes for every household. I'm only getting popups for played households, and I thought this was working as intended...

I guess since others are annoyed by it, this is another feature that will get nerfed. :-|

Is it too much to ask for a toggle on/off?
