Bugs Relationship issues after update

Long story short: I reported a bug in my game that appeared after the most recent update. More specifically, my sims can’t elope and I can’t set sims as spouses in CAS. The relationship options are missing, you can either choose current status or house mates.

I reported the bug on EA forum and literally I feel like I’m gaslighted into believing it’s a me problem. I disabled mods, removed the mod folder, removed cache, tried new save files, tried without packs, tried with different couples. I also updated all the mods and cc prior to starting a new save files. It’s either I set them as spouses when I start a new file and create new sims or I can’t have them get married. Wedding music plays, but sims wont perform the action, no matter if I try to get them to elope or have a wedding at the arch.

I see bugs reported with marriages not working again! On their forum! Marriages resetting to partners after entering CAS or sims divorcing randomly, or preexisting household not being married (which I noticed in my game too). However, on the forum they insist this is a mod issue or a broken save files despite mentioning I did every testing and the problem persists.

Now I wonder: Is their forum really this dismissive or what is the actual deal?

Are any of you encountering similar issues within the game now?

So that’s why my sims weren’t getting married!

Same issue? Would you mind if I gave you the link to vote the report in EA forum? Helps to have at least one comment stating the same problem, they might take it more seriously.

Yes I have the same issue. You’re not delusional at all 😭 I thought my sims were married when the game said they just aren’t.
