My sim cannot become friends with anyone.

Hello.
Ceejay and ravynwolvf have been testing to try to work out the cause and a workaround it. Perhaps try doing what they suggested in their posts in this thread.

I have tried repairing the game, clearing cache, removing Mods (always with new patch!) all the usual fixing techniques. My child sim cannot befriend this one child sim but is very quickly befriending most everyone else she meets. I might add the "Incompatible" child does not show up in the relationship panel at all even though the friendship bar is full, is not listed as part of the town/households and only sporadically can be reached by phone.
By chance she walks by my Sim's home or can be found in the park where I direct my sim to continue trying to boost the friendship. They quite enjoy each other. Pity.
Yep, thanks I read the previous posts and tried all of it, I even completely removed the game and reinstalled it and still having the same issues.

Things to add:
Only one of my sims appears to be affected by the bug, and the sim does not count as a friend to anyone else either. I got the "befriend mother" whim on her daughter, and even when her bar was well beyond friend - she didn't complete the whim. However, when filtered to friends, the mother does show up.
Not sure what's going on.

None of my sims can make friends. It's not just the mother. I thought it was.
It appears that I can make friends if I make them within the same time frame that I meet them. If I close the game and load the save before I befriend them fully, their relationship will be impartial. It also happens if I go to Manage Worlds. I removed mods folder, cleared cache, everything that I could think of. Nothing is working.
And it's not an option cause your not allowed to cheat in the challenge or cause it doesn't work ?

What I've found is the following.
It will happen in a completely new environment after removing the sims 4 from my documents.
It only seems to affect the relationship between acquaintance and friend.
It happens any time you meet a new sim and leave the current lot in any way before befriending them.
And it definitely ONLY started happening after the most recent patch.
The game is nearly unplayable as a result.

Can confirm this.
Deleted my Sims 4 folder, repaired the game etcetera... Then started a new game, everyhting was going fine until I decided to visit another residence. Then tried to befriend someone but it stayed at impartial even though when I filtered it showed in my friends list. Whims like make a friends also can't be fulfilled due to this.
The game is definitely unplayable for me at the moment. I don't want to corrupt the save any further or lose my family, since it seems like this bug sticks once it happens and just continues to overwrite acquaintance relationships. I'm not going to destroy relationship for every single sim my sim ever meets.
As a side note, I also had a "this lot has an item that is no longer in your game" or whatever message for no reason as I still have all of the same mods and files. It was after switching to a retail store, and then returning back to the house which makes zero sense because if it were a file I'd removed, it would have shown that message when I first loaded the lot/house. Very worried about what's going on in my save file.
So ... could it be that the label isn't changing in the relationship bar etc. but it's actually being set right behind the scenes? @crinrict, do we have a way of looking at that?
(Also, just catching up on this and really not happy about the bug - I'm working on setting up a new Sim to play with, and she won't know anybody to start, and I'm a Manage Worlds addict )
Anyway, in the loading screen thing I do see a parallel with the mail/geo council bug where you can't get mail if you see a loading screen before the mail arrives. From what I've read with this bug you aren't able to make friends if a loading screen comes in between.
Maybe fixing the one issue will also (partially) solve the other?
Just a question, has anyone filed an official bug report yet? (I want to click that 'me too' button )
If my little experience with python and debugging holds, the devs introduced some bug when they refactored how relationship decay works, a bug that in some cases is preventing the relationship bits (actual name used in the tunings) from being correctly loaded (which includes not only loading a game, but also travel). I also think this is related to at least part of the issues with players that can't load their households; my game, at least, throws an out of bounds exception that seems to happen when the relationship bits are loaded.
But, if I'm indeed right, I would guess the devs are already aware of this. They have more experience with the code and better tools.
It may filter as a friend, but that may only be looking at the number rating for the relationship. Because there is no announcement that you and the sim have become friends, and it doesn't count towards the friend of the world aspiration.

Once it's destroyed, it does, yes. Still only helpful in certain instances; the first game I had it happen my sim had met 52 sims, none of which were friends yet, all suddenly unfriendable. Thats a lot of ID codes.
