[OPEN] Townies walking by that stop to chat always use hostile greeting

[Lorraine-Simmer]

As of Seasons, this is still happening in my game as well.

This is happening in my game too, every time two walkby NPC's stop to talk. They will initially do the angry, hostile greeting, then proceed to greet eachother normally. I can't really say when this started happening or even when I first noticed, I usually don't pay too much attention outside my sims houses. I was thinking it was intentional, so that children could increase their Empathy and Conflict resolution values, mediating between the two angry sims.

I see this behaviour in every neighbourhood, in every save.

I have the same issue but with all my Sims. Whenever anybody greets anybody, they use the hostile greeting.

This is still a thing. Literally happens all the time in the vanilla save I set up after installing the Nov. patch.

Not 100% certain when I first noticed this but it would have been after the November patch and Get Famous were installed. I run a vanilla game with no mods or custom content. All game content except My First Pet SP are installed. I have started several new saves with totally new game folders and used repair.

Edit: My Sim lives in Willow Creek. I noticed the hostile greetings in several neighborhoods.

This is happening in my game so often. Every time, it happens as soon as they meet on street each other. It happens randomly. It's very annoying.

This is the posting I uploaded yesterday.

Since Get Famous I now see all sims doing it – not just townies in the street any more – now even the sims I’m currently playing will do hostile greeting animations before starting interactions in their own homes.

E.g. two sims wake up and go to breakfast, and in the kitchen they’ll frown angrily at each other, then start chatting with smiles and pleasantness.

This is happening in my game, too. At the first time when it happened I was not sure it was a bug or something. Because a random manager NPC in the restaurant acted hostilely toward to my sim, so I thought simply that sim maybe had a bad day or had hot-headed trait. But after G.F. patch, I've realized even my sims hostilely greets each other. Not always, sometimes. They get along and don't get angry, just their expressions look angry. How wired....

All my sims are doing this motion too!! It's really annoying. Mine do since the latest patch.

After the Get Famous Update, I can see this angry interaction all over the place.

Friends, Lovers, spouse relationship doesn't matter, all sims do this.

Why this kind of bug slip EA's QA testing in the first place? Any fix for this?
