Re: Romance relationship bug

★★★★ Novice

For me I know this wasn't an issue, unless having a sim without any turn on/ is is an issue - I had changed their outfits and there was no conflict with their other turn on/ offs. 

That said, one of them didn't have any preferences, so maybe that's it?

I would say that a definite issue is that I have had several couples where I get pop-ups every time they change clothes to go to bed/ to work/ go swimming etc to tell me that the attraction bergen them has changed.

Lovestruck: Romantic Relationship decreasing too fast

★★★ Novice

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
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? 1.108.335.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Lovestruck, Get Together, Vampires,
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a "very satisfied" romance with romance bar filled out Compare rate of romantic relationship decline to game without Lovestruck
What happens when the bug occurs? Romantic Relationship declining too quickly at very satisfied, declines quicker than base Sims 4.
What do you expect to see? Romantic Satisfaction to function as advertised; be much slower than base sims 4 romantic relationship decline.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

Romantic Relationship decline is notably quicker than base Sims 4, romantic satisfaction doesn't seem to work. Bar will lose 10% in a day without interaction. Problem happens with/without mods. Happens regardless of romance dynamic; wholesome, steamy make no difference.

Additionally, "very satisfied" claims that romantic relationship will slowly increase over time. This doesn't happen

@FrostBladde2 I used Mc Command Center, adjusted relationship decay and the moment I traveled to a new lot my Sims romance level deteriorated to -100

I'm having this issue, too. Even cheating relationship decay to 0 doesn't fix it. My teens will go from 100% friends & 100% lovers to 100% both bars red while fooling around. They're both set to like physical affection and are each other's turn-ons to a T.

I have this problem, too. It's frustrating because I was hoping this pack could fix issues I was having in some of my Sims relationships. One is very mean to his wife without having any mean traits. But now any other sims romance relationships drop to 0 with no warning. One couple had a baby and the mom went to bed and woke up to her husband upset and unsatisfied. Another couple just ended a date then the meter dropped after a couple of sim hours. I am clearing any attractions and hoping that helps until a fix.

Check whether your sims have the fear of being alone! Someone suggested this to me and I realised that’s what my sims have. I’m gonna cheat the fear away and see if it helps my sims relationships

My original couple, that was made before the latest pack don't have issues with decay, but any Sim created afterwards is having this issue.

 

For the past few days, I've maxed out their turn-ons, and haven't used a single turn-off. The decay is still formidable. But I'm trying to believe that my pseudo-solution is at least HELPING.

Also happening to me. The couples went to bed with 100% friendship and romantic and wake up about 60% romance, but friendship still 100%. 

-Possible cause: the decay is turned on or defaulted to decay heavily, even though it should only decay if the relationship is in a low state. 

 

It makes the game unplayable with Lovestruck, as couples are constantly threatening to break up, seeking validation and self reflection and worse yet (esp for a Love pack) they are unable to WooHoo due to the swift romantic decay.

Ugh yes, same. My sim had a romantic date, and the romance bar was dropping the entire time even though + hearts was happening. Ended date and sims slept for 4 hours and it told me their romantic relationship fizzled out. 

 

It’s stopped for awhile when I was playing, but it’s happening again. This bug is so unpredictable.

 

The only way I’ve stopped the extreme drop in romance bar is by being romantic partners and moving them in the same household. This, however, defeats the purpose of this pack. My sims can’t have a dating life with this bug. 

 

I was hoping with the update it would be fixed but I guess not. I almost wish I didn’t buy this pack! It’s ruining my storytelling 😂
