Mischief Social Interactions Not Working

[EA_Solaire]

Hi all,

For the time being, we no longer need saves for this issue. The team is currently investigating. 

Thank you for all the info provided on this so far!

Is this in the next update? (Next week)

Nope, it is not in the May 29 patch.  Apparently, a broken major interaction category does not qualify for high priority.

It's been a month, any progress?

[Raseca]

@VazoukenIn fact, it's been more than a year 🥴

A whole social category is broken in the base game

This has been happening for my Sim and all npc Sims. Even when both Sims like mischief, they fail the interaction and decrease in their friendship. This has been an issue for almost a month now.

Hi there @SmilesTheHobbit I think it might be the same issue as the one reported in this bug report.

I have a sim who is level 10 mischief, and still fails at mischief interactions. He has only been successful ONCE. How has he achieved mastery and still bad at it?
