Sim autonomously broke up with girlfriend.

My sim was sitting at the computer doing some work when his girlfriend came over. He didn't interact with her but then I got a notification saying he broke up with her. He also has a moodlet called argument sadness which says he had an argument with his gf and broke up with her. I have no idea what has caused this. Has anyone seen this before?

I have noticed autonomous flirting between sims who have had no romantic interest in each other previously. It reminded me of the survey where they asked if we would like to see unplayed sims affecting relationships with played sims.
I'd actually not mind in my game to be fair if something like this did happen. My sims don't do anything unless I tell them to so a little drama made by themselves would be welcome. Do you have any mods or anything that could have caused it?
I had this happen yesterday too, I don't have mods in that game, however it's not the first time I've had it happen. It's happened for me for the last 2 years, but VERY rarely, like every few months real time of playing, and I play a lot, so the fact that we both had it happen yesterday does make it seem like something has changed.

Go into game options\gameplay and turn OFF autonomy checkmark in BOTH boxes. That supposedly should make all sims in game be dumb as doorknobs. Then try to play the game again.
Goodluck, when I turned autonomy Off the game got even worse.

The OP mentioned a couple breaking up by themselves in their game. That is AI and Autonomy going haywire.
Autonomous flirting has caused some drop in a relationship between two of my Sims that I am currently playing with.
I really don't like not having control over everything. (And the autonomous flirting happens even with autonomy off, because it can be initiated by random Sims they interact with.) I hate setting things up the way I want, and having autonomous actions ruin it, especially ones that make no sense.
I haven't played much since the latest patch so I'll have to keep an out for it.
My romantic superstar would always be out cheating wherever I rotated away from his household. I would run into him in town and he would be flirting right and left. I would go back to his household and lmao over the fights. Crazy times. Sims 4 needs something like this to add spice to the game.

So whatever this new feature is, it doesn't seem to be too aggressive. Did anyone have this with a couple where no partner was a Roommate, but a normal townie or another played sim?
@Sindocat do you remember if perhaps your couple got sent to Romance Festival while you were playing another household? I've had a couple's affection drop from full to about 10% today, but I remember having seen them at the festival and getting flirted at by townies. But I'll definitely keep an eye on this.

Yes it was a roommate. The only mods I have installed are mc command centre and less city living names. I have used mods for years and this has never happened. I'm pretty gutted because he can't even speak to her anymore.
I'm laughing about it now, but I wasn't happy earlier! That was going to be my sims future wife.
I have seen reports on roommates doing things that they are not supposed to be able to do autonomously. Like being able to flirt with sims that they are not supposed to be able to flirt with.
