Breaking Up with Spouse

[MoMoll]

The husband has committment issues and after 3 days of him spontaneously asking other women to "watch the stars" (even when on a date with his wife), she finally got fed up and broke up wth him. However, right after the break-up, the memories section pops up and says they just got married! And sure enough, the friendship sections shows them as married with red bars for relationship. They even recieved gifts, though they didn't ask each other to remarry.

Has anyone else had a problem when they tried to break-up with their spouse?

That is strange.. It's not happened to me, but neither of my sims have broken up with anyone since I installed Generations. I'll actually make one break up with the other and see if anything strange happens later when I play the game. I'll get back to you on this.

But now it's even stranger. I didn't save when exiting and went back to the game to see if it happened again. This time I didn't have them break up, I had him try to kiss her and she pushed him away and then I saw the reason was that their relationship was down to strangers, but they were still married.

[Lol@Sam]

That is really strange. Maybe you have a corrupted file? I tried breaking my young adult sim up with her husband but there was nothing strange about it, they divorced as normal. If no one else is experiencing this problem then it is probably just your game. Have you tried opening a new file and doing the same thing on the new one to see if it does the same thing?

Was that after one or both of them went on a trip abroad? I've had similar things happen with my previous family.

I dont know if this is related
But my sim went to china and her husband stayed home, while in china she got a wish to "get married" obviously she is already married but just to check I looked in the relationship panel and yes they are still married and so in a panic went home just to make sure but phew they are still married

weird wish issue maybe?
for me anyway

@MoMoll: Your game is obviously bugged. Try to go on vacation to one of the foreign countries (if you have installed World Adventures) and get back to see if it has fixed.
If not try to put your sims out of their houses and back in.
If that doesn't work either save your sims to the bin and from there to a new town. Every few weeks you can do that again and again because it will avoid bugs for a short period amount of time based on how lucky you are.
If that also don't work than your save file is probably beyond bugged and you better get back to a backed up version of your save file, if you have one.

I finally got them divorced, but when they met at a dance club the bar showed "divorced" and where previously it was low green ("stranger" after the divorce) it was up to "best friend" green in the bar. Guess they were incompatible or it has to do with one of them having "comittment issues".

[Lol@Sam]

No. Like Leto said, you're game is obviously bugged.

[MoMoll]

Thanks Leto, sent them on vacation and things were fine for a few days, then they had a party and after the party she was down to being his enemy.
Guess I'll start over again.

When I first had a sim break up with another without me directing them too I flipped! Then I realized it must be a new addition to the game from generations. I love it. I have not had an issue like that before. Hopefully it worked out.

[MoMoll]

I restarted with the same sims and this time they can't keep their hands off each other. While I"m monitoring the child they are flirting non-stop and all their wishes are "wohoo", "go on date", etc. They have no wishes for increase job performance or anything else!

I generally play whole towns. I create single Sims and families and place them all over town. Since I've added Generations I can't believe how many of the couples have broken up while I wasn't playing them.

Tried a new game and decided to put my sim in a household and play with Matt Hamming. She was his first conquest, then he tool on two more. He broke up with all of them, then married his first love. The day after the wedding he got the wish to break up, so I let him. I had forgotten she was pregnant, so now she's a single mother with twin girls. I switched to her household and left him to rot.
