    Day of the Dead affecting my ingame relationships.

    in The Sims 4 General Discussion
    I am getting a little upset with this collection, usually I love them, but these are affecting my ingame friendships. Connie and Eleanor are actually best friends and their relationship was 100 percent, but after asking for the sugar skull it has taken a dive and she refuses to give her one saying she is a stranger ??? Don't think I will attempt asking from ingame friends, her co worker relationship also took a dive for the same reason.

      Just a heads up, I play cc and mod free game. So this happens without them.

      How much did the relationship take hit? I've noticed some sims giving the skulls and others refusing, seems a bit random.

      Interesting.

      I literally had to reach a bit of green before they would give me mine. And one of the Sims spawned and my friend was SLIGHTLY negative and it called him an Enemy. So weird.

      Yeah, I just checked and my Sim's relationship with her girlfriend took a small hit -- I think it's because she asked for a skull before talking to Jasmine first. :|

      Quite a big one, it used to be 100 percent and what you see in the pic is what it is right now.

      I just had a sim talk to another day of the dead celebrator and they spoke so long they made friend status and he still would not give me one as well, I have a feeling I might not complete this collection if this keeps going, or perhaps my sim will leave her job until she has completed this. She has enough money to survive on.

      I spoke to Jasmine first and it still took a hit, I don't think sims that they have relationships with ingame should be spawned in the clothes unless it does not affect the relationship and its just a random yes or no.

      Mines be so wishy washy. One sim immediately gave me a skull after I did a funny introduction the other was her sister! High relationship and she would not give me a skull for a while. I did the gaze at clouds interaction and then she gave it to me.

      Events play a part in a Sim's life just as much as they do your life.

      Take this opportunity as a challenge.

      I am doing a bit better now, I am avoiding sims I need relationships with though. I am getting a lot of doubles, but got 5 of the collection so far.

      I always enjoy a challenge, but the challenge is to befriend them and then get a skull, now my sim is losing friends because they see my sim as a stranger or enemy if they have a very good relationship allready.

      LOL, I'm sorry but this is one of laziest excuses I've ever read here. This is not a challenge, it's something that needs to be fixed if it's really affecting people's games.

      I'm curious to know if it's like Fighting in The Sims 3.

      Even if you were 100% negative, you can't fight unless you do some mean interactions first. Maybe it works like that?
      Do a quick joke or chat before asking.

      This may have been intentional (probably not) since when they come dressed up, they technically aren't supposed to be the exact same.
      But I doubt they went to that level.

      But a relationship shouldn't take a hit if you've already got a good relationship with that Sim. Technically relationships shouldn't take a hit at all -- just say "No" if you don't want to give me a skull. Since my Sim's got a couple of off days, I can have her concentrate on getting the skulls, then I don't have to worry about it till probably next year. :|

      This is weird. When a sim refuses to give a sugar skull in my game, the relationship's never effected, I never see the bar decreasing.
      I've noticed that refusing to offer the skull is a bit random. Usually, after a few friendly interactions the sims are more than willing to give their skulls. Even if they're friends, they might say no. But after a little chat, they all give it.

      I've been having my sim use a couple friendly/funny interactions before asking even when she already has a high relationship with the celebrant. That's been working. She gets refused more if she just asks immediately.

      This is the same for me. I haven't seen any issues with relationships deteriorating and I've had my sim get rejected several times (by different sims) when asking for a skull. After each rejection I just have my sim do a couple more friendly and/or funny interactions and she has a gotten a skull the second time every time. My sim has also never been rejected twice by the same sim.

      Yup. When everything fails, hugs usually do the trick for my sims ;)

      I had the relationship problem with my married sims, they are now nearly enemies. They are called enemies with benefits. I am not sure if it is the relationship mess in the game or if it is this new challenge.

      Yes, it also seems like my sims relationships are taking a hit from trying to ask for skulls. One of her nephews when she asked said she was a stranger or enemy. What the heck? :open_mouth:

      It actually sounds like a serious issue (I haven't had time to play yet), I think we should inform a SimGuru.

      This whole sugar skull thing is becoming way more of a pain then it should be.

      This kind of thing is why in Sims 4 I NEVER use sims already in my game to play any challenge - I always add a brand new Sim I download (usually one that has skills) just to play a challenge. The game itself does enough damage to any relationships my Sims has as it is - and why it is a good idea not to use your regular Sims for these things. LOL.

      Yup, I've had this happen to me, too. I tried socializing with other Sims trying to get skulls, and they'd magically be "un-marked" for the event, no longer possessing the interaction for giving my Sim the skull, after all of the time I've spent trying to get it from that Sim.

      If these challenges are going to be done so frequently, it'd be really nice if they were tested beforehand..
