Sims 4: How to get married in the game
As with the previous games, your Sims can get married in "The Sims 4". However, this is not so easy, because - as in real life - you first have to win over your partner. This practical tip shows you how to best do this in the game.
Unlock marriage: how you succeed in the Sims 4
If you want to get married in "The Sims 4", you must first convince the other Sim of your Sim. The best way to do this is as follows:
- Click on the other Sim and select "Romantic". Then select a desired point, eg "Flirt" or "Give a Rose". However, make sure your Sims understand each other well. The first time you get to know each other, you should focus on interactions in the "Friendly" area.
- The general rule is: change the interactions often. Be funny, sometimes friendly, then flirtatious again. The mixture ensures that the other Sim never gets bored.
- At some point, your Sims can contract with the move-in interaction. Once this is done, you are in control of both Sims and can merge them faster.
- Then click "First Kiss" if your Sims already understand each other well. Typically, the Sims allow this shortly after the option is available.
- Your Sim should now have a strong bond with the other Sim. To do this, click again on "Romantic" and then on "Please be a friend".
- If you experience a setback, be sure to try other interactions. So if flirting doesn't work, you should try a joke. To get to know each other better, the point "ask for an appointment" also helps. There the Sims can get closer.
- If you stay on the ball long enough, you can activate the "Propose marriage" action. This is also under "Romantic" again.
Get the Sims married - that you should be aware of
Once you've unlocked the interaction, you shouldn't let the Sims get married right away. It usually goes wrong. Therefore note the following:
- As with getting to know and flirting, your Sims should be in a good mood and feel good before taking such an important step. If this is not the case, it can be quickly removed.
- In addition, you should only propose marriage when the Sims know each other better. So run a few other options before pressing the button.
- If the marriage proposal is successful, you can plan the celebration or marry the other Sim immediately. Here you have free choice and should act on the wishes of your Sims. Romantic Sims in particular often wish for a big celebration.
- Once you have decided on the big celebration, you should fulfill the tasks that are given to you in the meantime. Similar to all other parties, this is crucial for success.
- To marry a Sim at the wedding party, click on it and select "Marry Sim". Instead of "Sim" you will find the respective name there.
