[TO TEST] Romantic interest for everyone in group conversations [ Edited ]

[Lorraine-Simmer]

I've experienced this problem recently as well. The intended recipient of the flirtatious interactions was Miko Ojo. Akira Kibo and Penny Pizzazz were sitting at the picnic table as well and were part of the conversation. Despite the fact that my Sim was ONLY flirting with Miko, I discovered later that Akira and Penny were ALSO considered romantic interests. I can't really send a save, seeing as I got the romance bar to go away on both of them by asking to just be friends, but I figured you all might want to know that it isn't an isolated issue. I actually considered making a thread about this myself until I found this one.

The Make a Flirtatious Joke while in a group always causes the entire group to start getting romantically involved with the jokester; I thought this was always by design? It's why I avoided using that joke in the Funny category while in a conversation with more than just the intended one sim.

My mom and I are also having similar issues. 

My mom's sim was in a conversation with his daughter and another girl, and used a flirtatious joke on the girl. It gave him a romance bar with both the girl and his daughter! This doesn't happen in my file, but in both of our games we also have the problem where every time there's a group conversation, and two sims flirt with each other, everyone else in the conversation gets the "Titillating Banter" moodlet, but so far no romance bar with that. We've been trying to figure out what's going on and what to do, and I'm glad to see we're not the only one with this kind of problem. I thought posting here might get us some help with this.

Hello!

My female teenage Sim daughter and an adult celebrity (Megastar) have developed a romantic interest. Never saw this before in the game.
And by the way: The life goal of the teenage Sim is that she wants to be famous, too.

There is a known issue if they are in a group conversation where flirtatious jokes are being told.

Could that be the cause or was it just by admiring ?

[koba_sue]

Actually I am not sure about that! But it could be as you say. I saw a flying heart when my teenager Sim talked to the celebrity and was surprised. Maybe it was from another Sim. I recognized the romantic interest later on and when the two Sims met again.

This is the current thread on the other issue: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-Romantic-interest-for-everyone-in-group-conversations/m-p...

If it's ok with you, I'll merge those for now until proven otherwise.

Thank you for the link!
And yes of course! (^-^)

But the strange thing is that the Sims are not both grown ups.

[crinrict]

Yeah, even children are affected as far as I know. There's no age check.

Just an FYI as I know this post Ian over a year old. The issue doesn't happen with only just group conversations . I've replicated the bug three times in one on dialog between a male teen and young adult/adult celebrity admire interaction as well as imply attraction dialog seems to bug the celebrity into a romantic interest with the teen as well and I doubt this is working as intended...
