    @Kimmer The more I hear about Social Bunny, the more I'm inclined to pass on HSY, at least until issues like this are cleared up.

    The mean posts from husband to wife are the ones that bother me the most. Does the husband have the Mean trait? I don't care if he does or not. I'd still shut my game down if that happened. I don't want that kind of ugliness in my game.

    I'm aware that social media use is a part of life, especially among teens and younger people. I use some social media myself. I'm also aware that there's a lot of toxicity on social media. I still don't care to see that toxicity in my game world.

    No, he doesn't have the mean trait. He's a goofball, so I've been thinking maybe the game thinks that those nasty messages are supposed to be funny. They aren't funny to me, though. He's actually sending funny messages to everyone else all the time, but for some reason his wife gets the mean ones. I'm probably going to delete him from Social Bunny if he doesn't stop.

    To me, that's not being a goofball. Pranking a toilet is being a goofball. I'd probably have deleted the Sim completely... :)

    This seems to be an issue with social bunny. It has had some disturbing consequences with regards to teens getting a romance bar with YAs/adults who they have as contacts on social bunny. Hope very much that it was fixed in the patch today because I absolutely do not need that kind of grossness in my game.

    My teen girl Sim just developed a romance bar with an adult vet guy that she met once when she took her dog to be sterilized. :s
    Also the thrift store woman (the one who always dances) is a young adult and my teen girl who is straight has a romance bar with her.

    I'm afraid of playing any of my gay Sims, at least I'm not going to use Social Bunny with them.

    Also my teen's parents are on Social Bunny and for some reason the father sends mean messages to the mother, like "even cowplant wouldn't want to be near you" or "go back into your house and remove the door, no one wants to see you in public". They have maxed their friendship & romance bars which makes it really weird. In real life that man would get a boot on his backside, his stuff packed in a suitcase and thrown out of the house with one way ticket to as far as possible. He's lucky he's just a Sim.

    I would not want this to happen between two sims that have a good relationship. Having a mean sim being mean is another thing, that offsets the happy-happy-joy-thing but this is different.

    Can it be linked to mods? Do you play vanilla or is there a mod that can be updated. CC-beds lurking in the mods folder?

    Would be nice if it was just to download an updated mod and it got better.

    Yes this is what has been happening with me too! And it’s on any age not just teens. So yeah like why have it figured ti doesn’t work right? Or if it does happen the sim should react negatively about it not positive about it. But I also get annoyed with the social bunny app for creating romantic relationships with literally everyone. You can still be friends.

    I've said it in another thread but I'm either super dense or I really just don't know how sexual orientation works because straight teen sims keep developing same-sex crushes and it kinda irritates me because then why add the setting if it doesn't actually matter anyway? :neutral:

    So it sounds like sims send social bunny messages pretty much at random to others and because you can build romance through social bunny which bypasses sexual orientation as the messages are always successful you will eventually end up with a small romance bar with everyone...

    I am waiting to hear more about social bunny.


    My main computer is still offline but I am exploring the latest patch on my husband’s computer, just to get a feeling of how it works.

    I know social bunny is like a main feature of this pack, but I am thinking of turning it off until some of this stuff can be addressed. I can see unplayed sims making posts, but my played sims should not be making posts I don't initiate and they do this all the time.

    Go into CAS and check the settings under sexual orientation tab. Make sure you have picked men or women or both under the romance option.

    I play 100% vanilla, I've never had any mods or cc in my game. My game is basically a mod/cc virgin, as pure as it can be.
    The father Sim who sent the mean messages to the mother has traits goofball, geek and a dog lover and I actually like him a lot, he's been adorable in any ways except with his Social Bunny behavior.
    I'd love to know why those messages happened. My teen Sim also got mean messages from her so called best friend who is not mean either.
    Social Bunny seems completely messed up. :/

    Well…. at least it’s not the sim that is acting mean toward his spouse. It is social bunny acting up.

    Hmm…. wonder how that app chooses who will act mean. Turn it if for that sim before the app tanks the save. That sim wouldn’t act that way towards his wife from the sounds off it. If the sim was acting mean towards his wife in autonomous gameplay then his social bunny behavior would match up. Now it isn’t his fault.

    Ehh… ha ha, your save. Sorry, got so invested in your story but I did not mean to turn into a backseat driver. It sounds really strange, hope you can fix it so that your save is good again. :)
