Simkid wants friendship with self - BFBVFS?

[notveryawesome]

I have never encountered this problem before, and have no idea what prompted it. I've been very careful to avoid BFBVFS in this particular custom neighbourhood (unlike my test hood, where I purposely do stupid things); however, I suddenly have a simkid who wants to make friends with himself. AFAIK, he is the only one affected by this want. Is there any way to fix him in SimPE, or should I just give up on the entire hood and start anew? I've been playing this hood for about a year, and would be very sad to let it go at this stage in its development. Yes, I did a search on this topic before posting, and no, I do not use the kitten killer, though I do I use the object edition of the puppy killer. Plz help, kthanxbai.

Try deleting all self-relationships which may have somehow formed.

Didn't this used to be a common problem in Uni with the hand held game?

Interesting-- because this problem started happening for me with the installation of Bon Voyage. No children created before that EP had this problem, but now I consistently have children who want to make friends with themselves all throughout their childhood, but it clears up when they age transition and doesn't reappear. I've been careful to backup things since I installed BV. I thought it might be like the Uni handheld dilemma, but no one else seemed to be encountering it, so I thought it was me. Hmm.
I'll have to go see if I can track down what's causing this.

I started having slightly similar problems with BV as well, with a fresh neighborhood. Make sure your hacks are up-to-date and delete the sim wants&fears files in SimPE. That fixed it for me.

Clearly, these kids are suffering from low Self of Steam.  I wonder what would happen if you used SimPE to make them friends of themselves?

Wasn't there a "met self" bug with the bar that caused a BFBVFS? I'd be worried it would have the same effect.

AFAIK, yeah, although with children I've not had that problem (mostly because I don't have BV and my next planned EP is Free Time, already pre-ordered and just waiting for them to not push back the release date again  ). At the moment, I have Don Lothario roaming around Pleasantview with the fear of falling out of love with himself. It's too damned amusing for me to even think about nuking.

I've run into this problem twice since installing BV, once with an adult and - just a few days ago - with a kid.  Some, but not all, of the sims who spin to adult end up with themselves in their SimPE relations.  This kid didn't have one of those. 

My theory is that the want was directed at some invisible memory belonging to another sim.  Nuking all gossip and re-rolling got rid of the kid's want and it hasn't returned.
