Marriage Issue After Breaking Up

[JoJoJo]

I had my sims break up, and now I have them back together and going steady. They've been kissing and all that but still no propose marriage or anything, and she is pregnant again. I changed her name. Are there any other ideas on what I should do?

You're in the wrong board I'm afraid - this is where we don't talk about sims.

As for your question, are you getting to 'Extremely' Irresistible' with your couple? Or this might have something to do with a glitch I heard about since a recent patch - anyone know what I mean?

I've moved this to Miscellaneous Help, where it's likely to get more responses.

JoJoJo: This is a known issue. I believe that moving the sims to the clipboard and back again may solve it, but I can't be sure without looking it up. Hopefully, someone that knows the solution will be around soon to help you.

OK thank you, I didn't know where to post it now I do. I hope I can get them back to being married.  I will try the clipboard idea.  Again thank you my first time posting on the forums usually I just look for answers or ideas.

Should I put her name back to her married name maybe that will give me the propose marriage. I get it all the way to “extremely irresistible” and nothing.  I did the clipboard thing and still nothing. Or should I just move her out and hopefully they can do it that way?

I did find one solution to this problem, if you like to switch households.  I could not get my two sims engaged or married for the life of me.  I changed households and when I came back, they were engaged, I thought, yay.  The interaction still did not come up to get married, so I thought, maybe if I changed households again, they would get married.  So I did that and went back and yes, they were married.  I guess the game recognizes they are engaged or going steady and takes them to the next level.  But that is only if you like to change households.

Have you broken them up completely once before like all the way to just be friends and then started the relationship over?  I know it seems extreme but I had to do this for a couple where the wife died which broke them up.

Had this issue before, and they need to become friends right after the break-up. "Ask to be friends". My sim didn't do this, instead she bought the business and fired her husband (his idea to break-up, so I, not her, was mad) and everytime she sees him she wants to 'fight". Now, he is sending her love letters and each time she sees him she wants to "fight".

So, she sent him a love letter and the response: "I find you cute and all; but, I'd rather tear out my eyebrows with a plumber's wrench". So much for reconciliation!
