Morally serious bug

  • Game Version: Newest

  • Platform: (Steam windows / Steam Mac / Mac)

  • Mods: (Choose one: never used / removed / active)
    :round_pushpin:If you have used mods before, please list them: I have active mods but it’s related to schedule and achievements nothing related to interaction etc.

  • Hardware Specifications & Operating System (OS version, CPU, GPU, RAM, storage…): please check my other posts

  • Steps to Reproduce: Have two zoi have conversation interact on the bench (watch phone together, etc)

The zois are able to flirt with ANYONE when they interact related to bench.

Found it first when npc teen student zoi tried to kiss/hug npc teacher zoi. (the teacher zoi turned it down but still)
and my devoted father zoi had guilty moodlet after watching smartphone together on the bench with his son.

I have seen the same thing. I caught one of my mother and son zois on the couch declining some sort of interaction, and I thought it was weird but didn’t really focus on it. Holy CRAP. They gotta patch this one quick.

Something similar happened to my devoted father Zoi. I tried to have my father, Zoi, hold my son Zoi’s hand to cross the street, and my father got a guilty moodlet for asking to hold his son’s hand.

Hello everyone (@here),

Thanks!

I understood that teenagers cannot engage in romance interactions with young adults and older people. At least not in my playthrough—they only interact with people their own age.

I wasn’t aware of the guilt issue. I’ll keep a closer eye out in case it happens.

  • Details:
    The mother of the household was in a flirty mood and suddenly started flirty interactions with her eldest son (teenager) → her husband was on the lot at this very moment but she still chose her offspring instead xD

Also, if possible, could you provide us a video or a screenshot showing the issue? Thank you!

I can’t show video footage or screenshots, unfortunately, because the provided save file is from a few in-game hours later and I didn’t take any pictures while the bug occured.

Maybe someone else has some footage? :thinking:

Eden is the son.

To recreate this bug:

  1. Watch smartphone together with teen+adult or son+mother.
  2. They perform the action
  3. The mother gains this emotional state shown above.

The npc case:
I’m not too sure which the interaction npc tried to perform, because the teacher turned it down. (automatic, and npc - cannot control) but this also occurred when sitting down on the bench.
(if I see it again, i’ll come back to report it with vid/screenshot)

They are family, so I can only see the family relationship go up.
I can’t tell if they are can build romantic relationship by doing this.

I wish this gets fixed quickly, because i noticed the autonomy triggers this interaction(watch smartphone together) on the bench quite frequently, and it also gets a bit glitchy and gets prioritized. and also obviously, it is just wrong.

My save file is too big.
Can i have the support center to send me an automated email so i can send the file.

You can send one simple file which won’t be too big. Here’s a short guide how to locate it: How to locate which Save File to send [Guide] :smiley:

Hello @Sunset,
Could you please change the accessibility of the Google Drive link to ‘anyone with the link’ so that we can get access to it? Thank you!

I have changed the accessibility of the link. Sorry for the inconvenience!
Thank you so much for looking into this issue!!

Could someone please explain what this emotion my Zoi is experiencing means?

Eloise is her mother, as you can see in the relationship panel. Arthur is her father, and Brandon is her husband. I don’t understand why the game seems to be showing romantic interest in her parents, and I also don’t understand what the green heart in the relationship with her parents means.

Is this a bug?
