Sim lost relationship after death?

[Moonlight Sonata]

I was playing a couple living together and one of them got electrocuted to death (oops!) Her dog saved her from death but now the relationship says "ex girlfriend." I've been trying romantic options to get the option to "go steady" but it never appears and the other sim isn't all that receptive to their advances. Is there a way to restore the relationship to how it was?

Welcome to our Forum!

I'm curious how the dog saved her from death by electrocution.  I hadn't heard that pets can save Sims.

I think what probably happened is that the game registered it as a real death.  After death, the relationship changes and the couple is no longer married.  Do you have a previous save you can go back to before the electrocution?

Nope, I hadn't saved it for awhile before then so I just went ahead and kept playing after the death. She basically died, was wandering around as a ghost, then magically came back to life. A little tooltip thing said the dog had something to do with it

Yes, apparently it is a new system in [Pets].  I have read a number of reports on the [Official Forums] regarding the phenomena.

Even read a report of a pet saving a sim from an old age death, though that sounds a little strange to me.

In Katluvr's second immortal dynasty (the one just completed), her original dynasty spouse was saved from his death by the dog and it was from old age.  You have no real control over the occurrence and it seems to be random.

To me has happened to lose the relationship and I have succeeded in decontrolling it but I don't remember if I have used (above all if it have worked) the stabilizer of states umorali (it is a lifelong prize) with the interaction "care" or if I have really removed the sim by the family and then I have gone him to me to take back to insert again in the family and then new court, but I believe to remember that the second system has worked. Good luck

I just wanted to add some info on this from my own experience. Hopefully it is helpful for someone else.

My sim died from old age. She had accomplished all the primary goals that I had for her, and was ready to leave this world to give place for the heirs. But, this was apparantly "not her time", she was saved by one of her dogs. But unfortunatley she didn't return to a life quite as good as the one she had left:

1, She was no longer married to her life long husband (showed up as ex wife/ex husband). This ment she had to spend her final nights sleeping in a separate bed from him...

2, She lost her employment. I just had time to think "Well, at least now I can try to max her carieer before she dies next time." Well, nope... Had to reemploy, and ended up on rank 4 instead of 8 where she was before.

3, She lost her moodlets, including "Very fulfilled" from completed LTW, which was supposed to last for several more days.

4, She lost her choosen wishes, including "Become worth 1 000 000" which would have rewarded ~20 000 points if completed.

I guess these would all be neglectible setbacks if it was a sim that I really wanted to keep alive that was killed by accident, but for this old lady it felt kind of sad, having to live her last time a shadow of what she once were...

And, additional info for those who wondered: Yes, the sim will die from age again at a later occation. At first I thought she might live forever, but that was not the case. It took a while, her husband died before her, but then she finally passed away.

I had the same thing happen to me today but it is showing as fiancé instead of spouse. And when I try to throw a party, there is no option for wedding? How can I get them married again before they really kick the bucket?

Try rebuilding their relationship to very high?  Or you can try breaking up, then start the romantic process and proposal all over again to see if that works.

The idea of breaking up and getting back together has crossed my mind. But, I'm scared they might die before they get all the way to marriage again.
