I hate this glitch. I watched as the game added Kevin Puri as a romantic interest right in front of my eyes, and Kevin isn't even in the same world as my sim right now much less interacting with her. I keep cheating the romance down, but the stupid bar is still there and I can't get rid of it, and it says they're now "Just Friends" even though there was never any romantic interaction between them. I'm worried that this will cause issues for her relationship with her boyfriend, since sims that cheat often receive texts from other sims about it, and she's not even cheating.

@Nightside-RushThis is happening to me too, not only romance but friend interactions too, i keep gaining and losing romance and friend with other sims without doing anything

Me too. My sim has Social Bunny disabled, cause she had a full relationship bar with way too many sims that she just met once (I like to play realistically, and to me this was very unrealistic). I cheated the relationship bar down on a lot of them.. She does not have Social Bunny, she does not see them or talk to them on the phone, and I suddenly get these notifications that "sim just became good friends with my sim", and it drives me nuts! I have to manually set their relationship to zero but it still keeps gaining. My sim has the ++ or -- over her head constantly, gaining and losing relationship with other sims without interacting with them. Thankfully the romance bar stopped gaining on all her so called romances (I don't know how) cause that was driving me crazy too, she had way too many romantic interests without even meeting them, after Social Bunny was disabled. I hope they fix this soon!

Do we still have no solution to this?

I had this when I used a sim I had pre-made specifically for HSY before the pack was released. When I started a new run with a brand new sim it didn't occur.

I found a workaround/solution, at least it works in my game. My sim no longer gain/lose friendship/romance without interacting with other sims while Social Bunny is deactivated.
If SB is deactivated, turn it back on. Open SB. Delete all of the added friends on the friends list, your sim shouldn't have any friends there (messages and posts will still be there).
Then turn off the option that says something like "get notifications" (I don't remember exactly what is said). THEN disable SB once again. This was the fix for me. I hope it works for you guys too, please let me know if it does.
