She loves me so, but its not a go!

[GriffinMaverick]

I'm having problems with a relationship(in game obviously). I created a woman by using edit town then create a sim, I moved her in right from the creation. I made them fall in love and now they have two twin daughters, I was able to get them to start "going steady" before the kids were even born and I hadn't thought much of it since then. I tried to get either of them to propose with "finds blank very irresistible" but I can't even see the propose marriage thing, I thought it might be a bug so I made them break up and get back together. They are dating again but still no matter what I try I cannot get either of them to have the option to marry each other. Anybody got any ideas? If I can't get her to marry him I plan to just kick her out and try again with another CAS but if the problem is that it was a cas character then Id like to avoid repeating my mistakes as leveling up her skills was very annoying.

Usually when I want a sim to propose, I go crazy with the 'Hold Hands' interaction. There are a few others but if you actually get them to kiss it will take longer. Try what I've said and if it doesn't work see what other people have to say.

Is this your first time playing a couple that you wish to marry?  I'm wondering if you've had success in the past or if this is your first attempt.

The "finds irresistible" is important, but you also have to work your way through many romantic interactions before the Propose Marriage will appear.  You say they are going steady, so you've been able to reach the first of the big questions.  It's also important to have their needs in the green for things to progress in a positive manner.  After breaking them up, were you able to get them to go steady again?

[GriffinMaverick]

This isn't my first couple, it worked fine on the other families I played on. This is the first time that this has been an issue. I tried to holding hands thing, still doesn't work.

[Pam]

Sometimes other boyfriends and girlfriends can be a problem, but it sounds like your couple hasn't been with anyone else.  It's possible that one of your Sims is just bugged.  This isn't the first time I've heard of it happening and there's not always a solution, unfortunately.

Something you can try ( don't know if it will work), move the sim to the clipboard in edit town and put him back in house. It help with running bug.

I was all set and had a plan to recreate a family from sims2.  When the couple went through high school together, they were all over each other.  After they turned young adult, it was time for going steady and of course engagement.  Nothing,  I never got past "the ok" stage and hardly got any romantic interactions at all.  I finally had to send him home.  I tried one more time and the same thing.  So I did what you said you were going to do, I made another sim and it went like it was suppose to.  Go figure.  I think some sims, just don't have the interest in other sims, or like Pam said, the sim is bugged.  I never did get to carry on with my plan and I just figured they are picky sometimes, lol.

Is there a chance that the sims have commitment issues or are unflirty?

[Saltypaws]

I know mine didn't, just normal traits, but that does make a big difference, of course.  Like I said, maybe some sims just are not as interested in some people as others.

Have you tried "resetsim" or

Exiting the game, deleting the cache files and reentering?

And just in case, are you sure you chose a sign that's compatible? One of my first couples weren't "compatible"...took forevah 

[Sportsfan]

In this case I don't think that resetsim would change anything.

If one of them is in a household that has 8 sims in it then you won't be able to have the option to propose marriage.

Also, not only do they need to be "irresistible" but they also need to have a high relationship level, the same that "best friends".

I have a couple who are now elderly and I never could get the 'propose marriage' option to come up.  I created the female as a YA and moved her into Bridgeport.  She adopted a daughter then met Buster Round.  She asked Buster to go steady which was not a problem and he moved in with her when she asked.  They are 'Eternally Faithful' (love that moodlet) to each other but I never could get them past the steady stage. 

They make a cute couple, but I guess they thought they didn't need the 'piece of paper' to stay faithful to each other.  Common-law pehaps ?
