The inactive household relationship decay also affects unplayed inactive households. I popped in to a household I placed in one save to forcibly send them to the same nightclub as one of my main sims so that he could meet them, and when they loaded, their relationships were quite a bit lower than the usual default starting relationship for roommates. They had only been placed for one sim week. That's a pretty bad problem...
@Beanfoot I always forget about that one. I only play in small bits and months in between So Its like I need a complete refresher on everything when I return.
@meetkitty123 Yeah, it's kind of killed rotational play...the one thing that this game promised to bring back to the series. It's nuts too, because TS2 was able to save relationship statuses between sims in inactive households just fine with no performance issues. In fact, I've been running the game on a laptop that's not even a dedicated gaming PC, was brand new and in the $750 range when the game came out, and I had no performance issues with the game whatsoever before the patch...even after adding a Game Pack, and Expansion Pack, and enough CC to qualify as a Stuff Pack! This is ridiculous...
I don't think I want to patch yet! I just need to do one thing today... I made a model of my house last year in game and my husband and I are talking about adding fencing to our property for real. My husband doesn't seem to understand how I want the fencing so I figured I would build it in game to show him what I mean. I open up the game and see there's a patch... Now thinking of past complains when it comes to patches I figure I would ask about this patch before installing. Dawn!!! I just wanted to add a fence to my house replica not destroy my saved games lol.
I saw the other post first (she doubleposted this message), here's a copy of what I told her there... I know one of these links was already posted here, but this is just a copy/paste:
Save a copy of your game to your desktop first. And read these...
@egwarhammer I just realized I cant play the game until its patch... this stinks. I just wanted to add a FENCE thats it now I have to backup everything take out all mods... look up all mods for compatibility with the new patch... Its a lot of work! Why are these patches FORCED on us! I am going to read all those links now... Its just a low blow that EA forces us to patch our games before we can play!
MC has SEVERAL different settings related to culling and decay. Save a copy of your game to your desktop, in case things don't work out spectacularly at first... there are a LOT of settings to play with and it may take a bit of "seat time" to get it all doing what you want.
Use the /saves copy to tweak your settings, then you can copy your "real" save back over once you're happy with what it's doing for you.
Out of the box, MOST of MC comes configured to default to EA-like settings... but that isn't ALWAYS the case. Some things just need to be On or Off, you know?
I've never lost a sim to this game, and I've never lost a relationship. (It ADDED one once, restaurant glitch double-married Clara B... I rerolled, haven't seen that since... but I've never LOST a relationship.) MC helps. With that and SO much more!
@egwarhammer so does that effect anything if you have the MC Command Center mod?
I THINK I have the MC mod. But its been so long since I played I have to relook and I think I would need an update. But it sounds like a lot of people love it.

I am nervous non the less... but gonna head over there... any advise besides the backing up files before I dive into this?

2.12.0 is new as of 6/19/16. So if it's been a while, yeah, update. What else do you use? Maybe I/we can help you get it back together. Everything in my sig is up to date. There's a list (partial of course) for affected mods and another for cc, too.
That wasn't in the newest patch, if I recall correctly. It goes back to the June 2 patch - it just took a while for Simmers to start seeing the effects in-game. There have been two patches since then.

Its ok because I dont even have the June patch either. So It might affect me anyhow.

It's pretty easy to install, especially if you get the Allmodules.zip version and have 7zip. (There's a troubleshooting PDF with that zip file, too... I wrote it, it's outdated as far as pictures/versions, but the STEPS are the same.)
Don't panic, don't let it overwhelm you. Browse the description page, Deaderpool is as thorough with documentation as he is with the mod. Epic amounts of info, which you don't have to remember... just keep in mind which module you're looking at, you can always look again for specifics later. Info-browse, I call it.
Kick the tires, take it for a spin. If you need help, find me (links in sig, help thread FTW!).
I'll have to get some sleep sometime later today (vampire nature, I'm a night owl), but I'll be around. Not giving it up YET.
@egwarhammer lol night owl. I use to be like that with the sims 1 to 3. Thanks its funny in all my 16 years of simming I never remember being nervous about patching a game like in the sims 4. I actually almost hate the sims4... almost. Its like I am just dealing with it until the 5th comes through. I haven't given up on the Sims. I am hanging in there with this game out of loyalty. I guess this game is just an awkward phase. I can play the sims 4 for up to a 3 weeks on and off at a time but I get bored with it fast and go months without playing.
I backed up all my files and gonna update. I guess I do like the game... maybe cuz its a sims game lol. Its a confusing relationship with the sims 4... its a love/hate. Just not ready to give up on it.

I'm in so many threads I have no idea what I've said where. But I've got my own reasons for sticking with Sims 4, and they have ZERO to do with the game. I'm a Deaderpool fangirl, if he's modding 4, I'm playing 4, and helping anybody I can who wants to use MC that needs a hand, if their issue or question is something I can address.
Gives me a reason to hang out with a very cool guy. I'm in for that.
Although it also pegs me as a completist... I'll buy whatever they offer, because I'll need to know how it works to be able to help anybody else. <shrug> No issue there, I'd buy it anyway. It's not a GREAT sims game, but it's a sims game. I'm in, modded.
And then there's this place, too, you guys are all kinds of awesome, also. I have a blast here. Almost to the point of being late for work a couple of nights last week. (not QUITE, but, closer than I like to cut it.)

MC Command Centre to the rescue! It saved my game and made TS4 playable again.
