Editing Marital Status on Household Lot
« on: July 06, 2012, 08:26:08 PM »
I'm working on a re-creation of the Vasquez family from The Sims 3 Console. The family lives in the Garage Mahal house I recently uploaded. The problem I'm having is keeping the two adults married after moving them into the house.

The family story is that the mother (Heather) remarried after a divorce. She shows in the Family Tree as the mother to the daughter (Elaine). The problem is, after moving lots Heather no longer shows as married to her husband Tyler. Is there a way through Master Controller (or another mod) to repair their marriage? I haven't been able to find an answer through Google as it mostly brings up the 'testingcheatsenabled' cheat using the relationship slider. But that only makes them Best Friends and not Married. The other route suggested was to essentially restart from Create a Household.

I did save them to the Sim Bin, so if I have to I can re-tweak their relationship that way. But I would rather edit them on lot since I put a lot of work into tweaking their skills, careers, etc. to match their Console status. Any suggestions? Thanks. :)

Edit: I discovered what broke the marital relationship. Elaine, the daughter, dislikes bother her mother (Heather) and her step father (Tyler). After adjusting Elaine's relationships with Heather and Tyler, they no longer show as married and Tyler no longer shows as Elaine's step father.

Edit 2: Okay, now I'm confused. I reloaded their file and edited the relationship between Elaine and her mother and step father. This time, Heather still shows as married to Tyler and Tyler still shows as Elaine's step father. What gives? :(

Edit 3: I was able to complete editing the family by saving in stages. Not sure why the relationships kept breaking, but I do have a completed family file for them with the relationships where I want them. If anyone still has any ideas for an insta-marrage solution, I would much appreciate it. Thanks. :)

Master Controller's Cheats module allows you to set relationship category under 'Intermediate - Long Term Relationship: By Category'. If you do it from the Sim menu, you can select the person that you want to change the Sim's relationship with and then choose a category.
