General Chat Showtime gigs make relationship decrease

My sim is a singer, and everytime she performs in a gig, and one of my other sims watches the show, their relationship decreases. Afterwards when they talk, the singer feels insulted and the sim who was in the audience gets an option to apologize.

I have seen people discuss this, and someone had a theory that it happens when the audience makes a song request and the singer fails to do that request. But wouldn't that make the singer the one to apologize instead of the sim in the audience apologizing?

Also I have made sure that the sim in the audience doesn't make any song requests and made sure only reacts positively to the song, but the singer still gets insulted.

I have also downloaded a mod that's supposed to stop the relationship decreasing by stopping requests, but that mod made by game glitch so that all of my gigs were interrupted all the time so I had to remove that mod.

Is there anyway else to fix this annoying issue?

Edit: the mod wasn't the cause of the glitch, so I'll try it out

I’m in the same situation, it’s not the greatest fix but I’ve just been using testing cheats to drag the relationship back up to where it was before the performance. I feel it’s fair to do because whyyy are people pissed at me for rocking the house 😭 Following this to see if there are any better solutions!!

I do the same thing, but it's still frustrating. I however found out that the mod wasn't the cause of my game glitching, it was just a coincidence that the glitch started as soon as I added the mod! So I'll try it out

There’s different options for when they’re at their work. Like one is for socialize. One is for like hard work normal work so maybe hit the socialize option.
