Friendships decay weirdly, Super Friendly not working

Post by rickdalton » January 24th, 2023, 3:31 am

First and foremost, cheers to this forum and its members, and many many thanks to mod creators who made my game literally 10x better and comfortable. You're the best!

Recently, I've stumbled upon a problem which I could not Google up, nor solve via mod settings. Hope someone here might give some advice on this. The symptoms:
  • I'm getting lots of 'Maintaining relationships is hard, blah blah, X and Y are no longer friends' notifications throughout the day. I'm speaking 10, 20 messages every sim day
  • This friendship decay does not happen at 2am, when the game recalculates relationships, but continuously 24/7
  • The Sim in question has Super Friendly challenge completed, which should block friendship decay for friend relationships, but they do decay
  • When checking the Charisma skill info, it states I have 1,003 friends, which does not sound right.
  • With every 'X and Y are no longer friends' notification, the friendship counter in Charisma skill info *increases* (yep...)
All of this craziness stops when I remove Traveler from mods and delete script cache file.

In case someone would be so kind to check the save game file, I've uploaded it here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1izn36G ... share_link To reproduce, you just hit max speed, and these friend lost notifications will soon creep in. For me, after loading the save it happened around 2-3 pm sim time.Would greatly appreciate any help or troubleshooting ideas.

Setup: Windows PC, i7 CPU, gtx 3050. Nraas mods: ErrorTrap, Overwatch, Register, Saver, MC/MC cheats, Traffic, SP, DebugEnabler. Memories mod by velocitygrass, and small Go Here With... Always available mod. Patch 1.69 Origin, all latest mod versions.

Long live Sims 3!

After playing and experimenting with mods for a while, here’s what I’ve found:

- Removing Traveler does not actually solve the problem, but lowers the amount of notifications. Maybe due to how tourists work with Traveler in conjunction with Register
- Removing Register also lowers the amount of notifications. So again, maybe that’s something with the Traveler + Register combo in my case
- My sim had charismatic + irresistible and when gaining a new acquaintance, started out with close to 40-50 on relationship meter and being friends. However, recently, when meeting a new sim, he IMMEDIATELY got a notification about him and newly met sim not being friends any longer… weird, right?
- Which led me to guessing, whether his Slimeball (well, yeah) reputation was somehow affecting initial boost in new relationship… and it did! After cleaning the reputation with a rather costly lifetime wish reward, this behavior stopped, and I started getting much, much less of ‘no longer are friends’ notifications even with Traveler and Register turned on

hope my humble findings can help someone…
