More Awesome Than You!

I'm new here, so I apologize in advance if I am posting in the wrong place.

I've got an interesting dilemma going on with my Sims. I've got a mother, her two young adult daughters and the one daughter's husband living in one house together. Anytime that any of them interact with either of the married party (or vice versa with them interacting with the others) the other one gets the Betrayal moodlet, and their relationship drops all the way into the red, like they're complete enemies. This happens even when the daughter is talking to her mother. It also happens when any Sim talks to someone of the opposite sex if they are involved in a relationship with someone else.

My game is modded out the wazoo (I'm not using AmesomeMod, tho), so I'm wondering if it could be a mod conflict of some sort. Originally, I thought that it may have to do with the married couples traits (both were Hopeless Romantic, and Over-Emotional), so I changed the traits and it is still happening.

I'm not really complaining, as it does make for one hell of an interesting game with all the cat-fighting, arguing and fist fighting that's going on ... but has anyone else encountered this? Any suggestions?

You're going to have to clarify what mods you're using, exactly. Especially if you've modded your game "out the wazoo".

Until then, anything we can suggest is a shot in the dark.

Yes, we see you are new. No need to make sporkings even more inevitable.

Did you do anything to test this hypothesis? It sounds very plausible. Do a binary search. It should work in TS3 as well as in TS2.
You should start using Awesomemod. If your problem turns out to be an EA mistake, Pescado has probably fixed it.

Try using this to check for mod conflicts.

Aside from a large amount of pattern, clothing, car, hair and tattoo mods, I have the following:

30 day pregnancy - adult only babysitter - Hysterical Paroxysm's More Textured Skin - AwesomeMod - AwesomeMod NoJealousy -
Buyable headstones and urns - Ghost reaction remover - Go Jogging - Go Swimming - Awake 50% longer - Metal Babysitter - More Harvestables -
NoMosaic - NRaas Supercomputer - Random Baby Gender - SolaceinSounds Move In Mod - Car Speed 4 - Transparent Baby Bottle - Hidden Traits - Buyable Pizza -

I've reinstalled the game and even with AwesomeMod and AwesomeMod No Jealousy, I'm still having the same issue. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Once again, I point the blame squarely at tight pants.

Did you do a binary search?

Do the one mod at the time testing. I think that you can skip the object mods the first round. Also quite sure that the hidden trait and the no mosaic mod conflicts with awsome.

I don't think No Mosaic has any conflicts. I've had it in my game for a while, even though awesome has an option, just because the sometimes mosaic thing bugged me. And not because I watch them. But because the mosaic has this annoying habit of going through walls occasionally. And because it swallows toddlers when  they are being potty trained.

There were (are?) at least two "no mosaic" mods, one of which was a core mod, and would conflict with AM, and a later one which is not a core mod, and which seems to have no trouble running with AM.

You don't need any "no mosaic" mods with the Awesome.  It's covered (or uncovered) in the mod. 

Quoted from the wiki..


Aka-For some of us, a non-mosaic patch is still necessary.

Run it without "AwesomeMod No Jealousy"... obviously there appears to be some jealousy.

I played for a while with just AwesomeMod installed and still had the same issue with this household.

I tried a different household just for kicks ... made the wife call up an ex and flirt with him right in front of the husband. No betrayal or jealousy moodlets at all ... the relationship didn't drop into the red. WTF?

I'm beginning to think that it has something to do with this one particular family. It's a tangled web of evil Sims - they put the fun in dysfunctional.

I've heard of this happening before, it's not a conflict or anything, it's a corruption of the save file. AFAIK there's no way to fix that family/town. Basic steps are deleting the cache files and reseting the sims, but I've been told that doesn't help. I'm not sure if it's totally an EA bug, or something that only happens if you have a jealousy mod.
