This has happened twice between two unrelated couples. 

The first happened when I directed Colton to ask his ex how her day was. At that point, I had already used a romance cheat to level the bar so they didn’t interact negatively because they’re both involved with the same family (she is married to Colton’s brother and has Colton’s daughter). The romance bar had maybe... 5% romance status, and their friendship status was “just good friends”. Instead of asking how her day was, he passionately kissed her without even waving a greeting. The interaction was accepted positively by his ex (Roxy), so I decided to direct them to flirt more. Roxy rejected Colton’s advances after that, and soon after, Roxy tried to flirt with Colton but was rejected by him. There’s absolutely no romance between the two. 

The second time happened when i directed Vladislaus to invite his former lover, offspring, and ghost, Caroline to a vampire spar. Both the friendship and romance bars are deep in the red. They absolutely hate each other, and the ghost isn’t a part of my household- she just haunts the place. Instead of inviting her, he greeted her with a passionate kiss. I didn’t want them to flirt, so I tried to direct him once more to invite her to spar, and she rejected him. The vampire spar is a friendly interaction, so it baffles me that the passionate kiss happened at all if she won’t even spar with him. 

Ive never seen this kind of advance before- not even as a whim between a married couple. I’ve seen flirty married sims approach with a tender kiss or a cheek kiss- but never a passionate one.

As a side note- not related to this particular issue- but another kiss (just a normal “kiss”, not a passionate one) happened between a teen and a young adult. I cheated the romance bar to 100% to prepare them for when she aged up- considering there’s no romance option, I didn’t think any romance would be triggered. He (the young adult) got sad when she (the teen) flirted with another teen in front of him- she’s kissed his cheek before, and he’s initiated a real kiss between them. I’m not sure if this a bug, or just because the romance was cheated up- but I thought the taboo romance was worth a mention.

Sims that despise each other and have no romantic relationship will no longer greet each other with a passionate kiss. Seem normal to me?!

Fixed in Patch 1.58.63

I'm going to mark this as solved although it's not for console. As it was obviously also a PC/Mac issue, I'm treating it the same as any other bug in the notes.

Mark as solved for PC patch and hope it will get fixed in the next console patch as well.
