Mischief interactions keep failing.

[Simsdeelicious]

@Raseca ohhh. yes. I misread it. I just got Get Famous and now it works. That's so weird.

[Raseca]

Still happening in 1.105.345.1020

Mischief interactions always fail if you DON'T have Get Famous. (No matter relationship, tratis, preferences..)

Please @TheSimsDirect fix this bug, it's been a year!

If you need more saves, ask for them

It's NOT a mod/cc problem, it's a base game bug that fixes when you install Get Famous.

This might be currently an unnoticed bug (not caused by the Crystal Creations patch but others suggest it occurred since the infant update) since most players don't use mischief interactions quite often or others think it always ends up negative by default. I played a mischievous sim a while ago and I knew mischief interactions could end positively, especially following their mischief level, charisma level, traits, likes and dislikes, and relationships. 

To be fully sure of this bug, I created a fresh UNMODDED save (download link attached) with 2 sims in a household, both having the Goofball trait, both liking mischief, both having high mischief and charisma levels (since I've read charisma determines social interaction success rate), both having the maximum friendship level with each other, and both feeling playful. Even with all that, all mischief interactions fail. All mischief interaction under Deception fails, some Pranks rarely work, specifically the "Trick with Hand Buzzer" interaction but still end up reducing friendship.

If more saves are needed, I'll gladly create and provide more. @TheSimsDirect

I'm sure there are other bugs the team is trying to fix from the recent patch, but I'm hoping this bug will be included in the fixing process, as someone who is very fond of mischief gameplay.

It's frustrating and annoying that I can't do any Mischief interactions between my Sims because it always keep failing all the time.  

[Raseca]

And nothing in the new Laundry List about this...

Happy one year anniversary to this bug!

I'm glad that others have seen this issue and it is not just me.  For me, the biggest annoyance is are the autonomous interactions where the characters choose mischief and start hurting the relationship level.  There have been several patches since I first saw it and thought that this would be fixed by now, but no word, yet.

This is not a minor thing. It's a whole group of interactions broken. And how many years are required to fix it? Disgraceful.

[Raseca]

Kind of game breaking bug, sims are always using mischief interactions and they always end up in a embarrased moodlet, so they're always embarrased...

It's really annoying, @TheSimsDirect fix this ASAP please.

I also have this problem, I didn't even know mischief interactions could be successful and I was always wondering what is the point of mischief. I only looked it up because I cannot complete the "give false promises" task from the polititian career from city living...
