• Details:
  Not sure if this is a bug but this seems to me very unnormal. I have brought another in game born Zoi as husband into my household. He has 3 brothers living in another place and is trying to build up his relationship with the brothers but even after talking to them for 4-5 in game hours there is nearly no change to the relationship with them:

  

• At the same time you see that 2 of the brothers are already considering him as friend and the family relationship is also in the green area. However only for the brothers not for the Zoi in my houshold. I switched to 2 of the brothers to see the difference:

  
  

However the relationship with his child and wife is working fine, also with 2 other friends but nearly with all other Zois it is not moving at all or it is nearly unrecognizable and this after hours of talking.

I should mention that this Zoi has the Individualist personality type. So I would expect that he is slower at building relationships but not so slow. After 2 days of meeting and talking for around 5 hours each time the bar should raise at lease a little.

Let me guess, your Hubby is an “Authoritarian” ?
Those struggle like crazy to get their friendship bars (all 3) up. It’s insane.

At least it’s no longer impossible like 0.20 were the fast-talks would negate any possible progress, but it’s still annoying. I tend to pick “Leader” over “Authoritarian” for that reason.

Ah interesting… I just checked. 2 of the brothers actually are Leader personality and one is Charismatic. Seem to not work either now…

But he also struggles with all the other Zois. There are like 2 of all he has met so far where the bar even moves apart from the own household. The 2 where it at least moves a litte have Curios and Perfectionist personality. And the others where it does not move have very different personalities.
