Problem

My Sim is suddenly accusing his partner of cheating although they have done nothing wrong. The end of the relationship is not far off.

Cause

The  reputation system is counting old lovers as cheating as well. If you have any Sims that still show the heart in the relationship panel are counted as cheating on your partner. Also it’s not possible to have hidden affairs. If you flirt with another Sim, everybody knows it (even if you do it in the privacy of your own home) and your relationship will go down the drain very fast.

Prevention

Before going steady make sure that you don’t have any open relationships showing. Make sure to ask them just to be friends.

Solution

Buy the lifetime rewards Above Reproach and Clean Slate. The lifetime reward No Jealousy doesn’t help in this case for it has no influence on the reputations system.
