Marriage Issue

[Claire.D.Cat]

Okay, so too of my sims are at the 'Romantically Involved' stage, but I can't get past that. Whenever they flirt or do anything romantic, instead of saying "____ thinks ____ is being flirty" it goes back to "____ thinks ____ is okay." So, because of that, I can't even make them have a relationship. I think it might have something to do with the fact that one of them had the inappropriate trait, and used that to have their first kiss. It's really frustrating, so if anyone has any ideas on how to fix it, I would appreciate it very much.

This is a somewhat uncommon bug.  Unfortunately, I have no idea what causes it or if there's a way to fix it.

Hi Claire.D.Cat and welcome to the forum.

I get that bug sometimes. Sometimes what helps is to switch. So say you're controlling a Sim called Kate and she's flirting with Andrew when this bug hits. Sometimes it helps to change from Kate to Andrew. Other times, you're out of luck.

Welcome Claire.

Even though Sims are romantically involved, you can't necessarily move forward until they have a have a high relationship bar.  So, if the Inappropriate trait got the first kiss and that kiss made them romantically involved, they could still just be acquaintances.  Try working on getting their relationship higher and see if that helps with the romantic interactions.

I think the problem is that she is having that bug where you can't progress in conversation status.  You engage them in a romantic interaction, it progresses to "Sim A thinks Sim B is being flirty" and then it immediately goes back to "Sim A thinks Sim B is okay" before you have the chance to initiate another romantic interaction.  This happens even if you cue up several romantic interactions in advance.  It seems to only affect the relationship between those two sims.

I got this bug once in one of my Dynasty attempts, and the person affected ended up marrying someone else because I could never get the higher romantic options with my first choice.  It's a somewhat rare bug.

I have a marriage question. My poor female sim is romantically involved with a very rich male and I want to ask him to marry her, but I want to live in his rich house.    Will I get the choice to move her to his house, or would she have to be on his property when they marry in order to live there?

I had something similar in that my CAS started getting romantically involved with Xander Clavell in Sunset Valley.  So not what I wanted so I left it up to them to see what progresses.  Nothing seemed to eventuate but he has the Commitment Issues and Inappropriate traits and he's still a thief and not a good one, he's still a decoy after weeks of play! 

My Sim goes to a movie and walks out and finds Xander romancing Erin Kennedy who is now an elder right in front of the theatre.  She slaps Xander and breaks up and then walks straight into Christopher Steel who in the space of about a Sim evening becomes her fiance.  Gee I love story progression.

There will be the option. When they get married a screen will come up confirming where they will live and you can move her over to his side and decide whether or not to keep the funiture from her house in the family inventory or sell it.
