I was beginning to think it was because I moved most of my sims to a new neighbourhood. Then I thought it could be that I haven't played them in a while. Then I thought it was because of the last update. I haven't got Dine out. But I'm on my second rotation. nearly everyone's relationships are way down. The only ones that aren't as badly effected are siblings. So this is a bug.
For those who will use mods, weerbesu's UI Cheats mod offers (via Relationship Panel right clicking) the ability to set relationships to any number you like, probably between -100 and 100.
They can also be fixed with MC Command Center, but for quick & easy, and changing levels on ANY sim (no active/inactive restrictions, I checked, Alice could have changed her relationship level with Eric... it's all good!), UI Cheats is a great alternative.
One thing, if there should be a romance bar and isn't, MC will have to be used for that, unless you have them flirt or something in game to create the bar. UI Cheats can't create it, but it uses it if it's already there.
It is helpful for simmers to use the UI cheats extension mod to increase relationship levels, if they use mods.
For simmers that have older versions of the mod, you need to update to the latest version because it was broken in the early June patch. http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=558548
@rosemow I contacted @SimGuruNick on twitter and he asked for me to share my saved file. How do i do that?
Hello @wendy .
Zip up your save file into a zipped folder. Then upload the zipped folder to either Dropbox, mediafire or google drive. Then go SimGuruNick wall and post the website address link to the folder there. You are unable to send a pm to him because you aren't a full member and you also can't post links. But instead of doing that , you can break the website adress link up, such as putting h.tt.p.
He can then remove the dots.
You're welcome @wendy .
If you would prefer to send the link to the file in a pm, post on SimGuruNick's wall page asking him to pm you and he will then send a pm to you which you can then reply to.
Okay so I used the cheat to create friends, and boom they had new NPC friends. Once they left, they disappeared from the relationship tab all together! UGHHHHHH! Never had these issues before

Hello @Drakkie .
If you use mods, MC Command Center can prevent relationship culling and relationship decay . The link to the mod is http://modthesims.info/d/551680
It definitely feels like its been sped up and its gets a lot more noticeable the more sims you want to play with. At this point it feels very much like I have to play every family every time as a part of a maintenance regime rather than just sitting down to play with my toys.
oooo I get it, is the grind part of the game ?
Hello
The rapid amount of relationship decay may not be a part of the game. Culling and relationship culling are game features, but simmers are finding that relationship decay is happening at a much increased rate.
@rosemow it actually IS newly included with the Dine Out patches (not that WE were made aware of this new relationship decay until WE found it), according to @SimGuruNick, here:
Hello @egwarhammer
I wrote that post a few days ago before the thread was started and I read the thread that you linked to, I now know that it was brought in as a part of the game. Perhaps the degree of the relationship decay may be lessened in a future patch.
It's nice to know I'm not the only one. Went to see how one of my families was doing and no one had any relationship with anyone. All was at 0 for everyone (mother to children, father to children, husband and wife...). I hope it gets fixed or they remove this "feature" in the future because it's getting ridiculous. I didn't buy the Sims to play with 1 single family for the whole game. I play all my families...

I sure hope they slow the speed of decay is lessened. It is taking too much time to rebuild 3 generations of relationships every time I rotate to a new family. I don't use mods so I have to work for it and we all know too much work takes the fun out of it!!! Hurry and patch me up!!!

Hello,
A future patch may help with the issue. The develpers will have been reading the feedback and may be able to perhaps make adjustments.
The thing that annoys me most about the relationship decay is that the person completely disappears from the people you know! Makes it really hard to balance work and social life..

"a little aggressive." SGNick has a talent for understatement.
