Playing Tag Bug

I wonder if it's similar to the skilling-by-TV bug that I spotted once. If a Sim was watching, say, the cooking channel, and another Sim sat down to play video games, the skilling Sim would keep skilling. Even as they went around doing other things, they'd be gaining skill. Perhaps there is the same sort of bug at play here, where the action doesn't get closed cleanly, and so keeps on going, blocking all other social progress.
I'm curious as to which TV you were using, the Ubervision Panoramic in my game has caused that bug you describe several times for different sims. Rather than reset them, having them watch non-skill channels on the same TV properly closed the skilling interactions.

I have noticed in a few of my sims that if they play tag with someone while they are a child (or I suppose if they have the Childish trait) that after they stop Playing Tag, they continue to gain LTR with the sim they are no longer Playing Tag with.
In at least one of these scenarios, the sims in question, upon becoming teenagers, were unable to advance in romantic relations because even after several romantic interactions, the other sim would think they are "Being Okay"
Has anyone else noticed this bug?
I have had this as well. In my situation, when the sims were teens for a couple of sims days (can't remember exactly how many) their relationship did finally start to decay as normal.
Blech:
I don't think it has anything to do with playing tag because I've seen it happen with an adult and her teen step-daughter. Neither of them has the childish trait and never played any games together, but they did dance together at a party. After that, instead of decaying, their relationship improved daily, up to best friends without any further interaction. Then it just stopped and went back to normal decay.

Well, that might explain why I had one particular sim gaining cooking skill points completely randomly, like when he was asleep. He got up to cooking 9 without setting foot inside the kitchen.

Roflganger: Yes, i did resetsim on both the teen in question and her friend, but they were still unable to become romantic interests. I suppose I'll have to just give them time for the playing tag or dancing or whatever the case may be to reset itself. Thanks for your input though. I have noticed that TV skilling bug before too, but my sims actually stopped skilling once they stopped watching their family member play video games... or so I think they did.
