Pescado, you are a life saver!  Now I can save my wrists from endless clicking and have peace of mind as well.  Thank you! 

I've been using SimPE to fix dead sims who still have relationships with live sims when I noticed NPC's (grimmy, therapist, skunk, etc.) have pre-exisiting relationships with sims listed in their household - most of these are vacationies.  Even in my newly installed Belladonna Cove it's like this.

Is this normal/ok or should I be searching out and terminating these relationships?  Thanks!

ETA:  I have also noticed in some sims' memories gossip about npc's or playable sims that is attached to tokens or objects.  Examples:  serving platter(Gossip about Johnny Smith) (numbers here), Toddler skill token (Gossip about Therapist) (NPC) (numbers here), Token - Timestamp (Gossip about Birth Queen) (numbers here).  This seems like borkedness to me but I have no idea if it's safe to delete these or how to keep it from happening again.
