Apartment Life Borkiness, or how i ended the world in 1 hour.
ShortyBoo:
I had noticed some sims flirting and kissing other sims on their own which wasn't a huge problem since I could turn free will off to prevent it. But then yesterday when I was playing a house with two women. The first one, Erin was friends with the Evil Witch and had been turned into one as well. I decided to have her call up the evil witch and invite her over so her friend, Jaina could also be a witch. Once the witch showed up, I told Jaina to greet her. It was just the normal greet, not the new greets like high five or anything. When Jaina greeted her, I got this:
Jaina had never met her before and had no previous relationship whatsoever. Well, the witch ended up not liking the greeting, and now they have a negative relationship. I do have some hacks, but only a few of the DC hacks and TwoJeff's updated Twins & Triplets hack and Young Adult & Lazy Animation fix.

Hell of a greeting, isn't it? I've never actually heard of anyone getting a + or - from that greeting (or the related goodbye), though, as it's really just an indicator of chemistry and not a "real" kiss (sims are still eligible for their "first kiss" interaction after this greeting). Perhaps something about this salutation was changed for AL?

I'm not sure if this is an AL bork or a bork in my game -- I did a search on it, and didn't see it mentioned.
Belladonna hood -- I played the Cho/Riley building for the first time last night, and saw that no matter which one I played, the other's apartment was still lit, I could see activity in there, and the sims I were currently playing had full interaction menus with the sims in the other apartment. So the game was sort-of treating them like they were all in the same house together, even though only the current apartment's tenants were showing up as playable. I realized this when I had Riley (I played him second) try to call Cho, and she wouldn't show up in his phone book. Also, I could click on controllers in the other apartment (i.e., lot debugger, TJ's ACR controller) and control the sims in the currently being played apartment.
Aaaccck, this drove me crazy last week! I played these 2 families first and I thought this was the norm. So when I finally moved in another family in the same building, I was stunned to see those two families' apartments being dark. And I lost a lot of precious playing time testing and retesting this scenario until I came to the conclusion that Cho & Riley were special. So, yeah, they're borked. Although it's a nice bork -- I like seeing what the other inhabitants are up to.

I thought that was the case as well where it shouldn't effect the relationship, but right after the relationship score with that witch was like -13 / -7. Normally when my sims don't know each other, their greeting is either waving at them or shaking their hand. That's why it was so shocking when I saw it. Before this, the only sims that I've seen greet another sim like that were sims who are in love.

Ok, so it's not my game -- thanks! I guess EAxis has it setup that way as a sort-of 'scenario' to force the issue of those two getting together. Makes sense, since his apartment looks more like it's setup for 4 people than her's is.
OTOH, it'll take a bit of finessing to get their relationship up, since neither can talk to the other on the phone. I wonder if the current setup also borks any move-in type interactions. May have to move one of them out and back in and see if that resets it.
