First time Writing here, hope I'm doing it right.

After making new Sims 2 or moving existing household, the Relationships Screen stays blank in all categories except Household. After work, community lots and walk by socializing, nothing shows up. Tried removing most recent cc downloads, no help. Been using Shift+Click 'make sim contact' to get someone to show up at all. Existing sims in unmoved locations unaffected. Game is many years old, tried all tricks I know. Did try Post on EA Games Forum. Any Ideas?

There should be a "show all" option.
If the sims don't have any friends besides their own household, the other categories will mostly stay blank.

How did you move the households? If you just move them around in their own neighborhood, via regular methods like "move out" and from the family bin to a house, and similar, they should keep their relationships and friends.

If you move entire households + lots between neighborhoods via the lot bin (usually not a good idea), this severs relationship ties (I think they only keep family ties in their own households, while other relationships will leave "loose ends". If you move them like this in their own hood, the relationship ties and all that duplicates resources. It shouldn't be game-breaking, but can leave a bit of a mess to clean up if you want a tidy hood).

I am aware of the differences in moving the whole Lot using the Bin and keeping relationships by just moving the Sim in the Family Bin.

The Problem is the Relationship Screen STAYS Blank for a Brand-New Sim or a Moved Household. In EVERY Category except Household. No friends, attractions, workers and of course All. It never changes after days of Greetings, talking, jokes, dancing. The only way the get a Sim in the Screen is 'make sim contact. The phone List for Friends seems to be unaffected.

Can you take a screenshot of the panel you think is incorrect and state specifically what you expect to see there that you are not seeing there?

Will Try but I don't see how my explanation could be simpler. Panel always stays like a brand-new household. No Sim's head pictures are displayed after meeting them even after days of socializing. All controls are present.
