[Open] - Relationships disappear when making active Sims passive

How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? After I made my long time Sims passive (following newest update), and then back to playable, almost all of their relationships disappeared with other players’ Sims. These were significant relationships at high levels, including a fiancé, a husband, a wife, and other parents to newly playable adult children.
What do you expect to see? I expect to see any relationships, particularly if they’re past level 3 and married or parents of active Sims, to stay accessible. If it’s an issue of having too many, I expect to have a known cap communicated to players.

I was losing relationships randomly, pretty often before the update, but my workaround was to marry them, or have a baby with them, and then they wouldn’t disappear like other relationships with blue plumb bobs. After the update and toggling between active/passive/active, I have lost almost all of my relationships with other players’ Sims. Even marriage and parents, and even level 10 relationships with friends from real life. Please figure this out. And if it’s an issue with having too many contacts or too many relationships, please make those caps known, like the friends list does. Additionally, I’d love the option to delete contacts or outdated relationships so that they don’t take up so much space. I want to see the Sims that I want to see. I had curated my town to see all of my friends, and now I have random townie elders that I don’t care about and newbie (level 7, level 10 etc) blue plumb bobs that I’m not friends with. I am a level 60 player.

Re: [Open] Existing Relationships Disappearing

★ Guide

All sims that I made passive have lost 90% of their contacts, except family. One of them lost his partners contact, they have been married since July 2020 and now he is just gone.

 

This is a very serious issue for storyteller players like me. How will we be able to keep up with our/their stories old or new?

 

Many of us have been basically living through the game for different reasons... covid, illness, depression. So losing sims friends causes us a huge personal impact. It feels like we are losing our own friends. Cause right now my friends in life are the friends I made in the TSM community. 

Having that said I really hope that you guys take these glitches more seriously. Have some beta players to test the update and glitches before launching it. Cause it is bringing way too much caos in the community really. Players are really upset.

Hi @loopieloopita! We are aware there is an issue where some players are losing relationships after changing from passive to active. Could you DM me your player id so we can investigate this issue further? Thanks!

Passive sims lose their friendships.

I just made a sim passive/active, and she lost her level-8 relationship story as well as the contact. 

Previously I made another sim passive/active, I didn't lose any relationship stories, but all those stories were level 10.

 

I believe non-level-10 relationship stories are being lost after making a sim passive/active (similar to the progress to the trait disappears).

@yani_tsm I think the relationship issue is a consequence of losing contacts and with the contact bug fixed that would not happen

 

This has been flagged as a bug to studio.

@yani_tsm Hey! The two relationships Iost were actually level 10 so not sure that's related?
