Help! Two Bad Cops

I was really inspired by the "Autonomy-On" players, so I decided to give my Sims some personal freedom to see what they would do. At first, nothing much happened, just some extra afternoon napping, spontaneous push-ups in the dining room, 3 a.m. quick meals out of the fridge, and showers ... in the rain. I decided to keep up with it, thinking what's the harm, not much happens with Autonomy-On anyway. Until now! My whole town of Willow Creek has been torn apart and I'm not sure what to do. So I've decided to let, whoever wants to, vote on my next action. Please someone vote and tell me what to do!
The tea is that I have two Sims who are Cops in Willow Creek. Both are loving husbands. Both are fathers. Both work at the same police station. Both have new toddlers. One of them, Phoenix Piper (a Police Officer), is friends and neighbours with Skip Broke, who is friends with John Burb (also a Police Officer). Since the Broke's are often visiting the Burb's, having bonds from Sims 2 days and their kids, Beau and Lucy, are good friends, it seemed fitting for Skip to invite Phoenix, his wife Raelyn and their new toddler boy along one day to meet the new Burb twin boys. The way I saw it unfold in my head, the two cops would become instant friends, having so much in common, working together at the station, and having toddlers the same age. I imagined all the toddler playdates I could plan, their wives would take the kids to the park while their husbands solved crime, they would spend Festivals at San Myshuno together, family camping trips at Granite Falls ... but that's not what happened.
From the moment they met, it was just instant arguments. These two Sims have an inexplicable hatred for one another. Their social bars are maxed out in red. Their wives have pleaded with them to make amends and fix their relationship and they keep saying they will, but lies, they just fight constantly on every single lot. No matter how hard I try to build back up their socials, as soon as I leave them on Autonomy, they start fighting themselves back into the red. One time, they even got in a fight in the police station outside the jail cell lol. They yell and fight in the park in front of kids, they ruin dinner parties, they become a public spectacle at festivals, they won't stay quiet in libraries, and no matter where my Sims go, they both show up. Willow Creek was a quiet, peaceful town. And these two cops have destroyed it with their feuding. They're also giving the police department a bad reputation. They have, in fact, worse reputations than the vampires who feed on people.
So what should I do?

Nothing, just watch them until one of them dies. That's the life they chose.

Turn Autonomy off before it's too late. Free will for Sims just leads to chaos and destroyed families.

They need to sort out their issues. Make them apologize and have deep conversations until they work things out.

Fire them from the Detective career. Willow Creek can't have violent, angry Cops. Then make them join the Military and put them in Strangerville to fight the plant monster.

Give them SimRays and see if they actually shoot each other.

What terrible husbands/fathers. Maybe it's time for a divorce.

Move the families to Sulani. Maybe living on the beach will calm them down

I love the autonomy because of things like these. I usually go with the direction that my Sims choose.
What I'd do is put them on probation. The Chief will send them on a mission or team building measure together (Manage households, yes, they won't see their families for a while, but that's what you get for dragging down the precinct's reputation). The catch here is that sims will always choose their own conversation topics, so the befriending is not guaranteed to work. Can still go either way.
Basically, you don’t just have to keep playing with them like this if it’s not fun for you or how you want. If you want things to go a certain way, force it to happen. If you want them to be friends, make it happen.
... oh and give them toilets and a shower, cause well... that's just gross
