Wedding Event Problems

Here's a list of what I don't like about the wedding event so far
1 ) Guests never sit during the wedding You have to place the seats within the wedding arch but still some rather stand
2 ) Hardly any emotions during the wedding service no crying with joy, no giggling or even gross out looks from kids, no dreamy sighs, nothing
3 ) Caterers are lazy ( sometimes I don't have a sim that's a good cook )
4 ) Checklist versions of the event are pointless There's prizes for more cash but only a few are worth to keep imo
5 ) Timers are worthless
6 ) No double layer wedding cakes There's a Black & White double layer cake I discovered but there should be more
7 ) Not many wedding theme items There's a few here and there but not many wedding arches and some decor
8 ) No wedding veils
9 ) You can't edit the wedding attire at all for your wedding couple You can simply change out thankfully
10 ) No ice sculptures for rich weddings There's a llama ice sculpture but Ambitions' ice sculpting should make a return

Also, with weddings, the mother of the Sim getting married was literally standing in the middle of the altar, talking to someone as her son and daughter-in-law were exchanging vows and whatnot. I couldn't take screenshots because she was in the way! I dunno, maybe it's just me and there's some secret way of having the perfectly planned out event without anything going wrong
There have been more... Conflicts with social events I've planned, but they've happened so long ago that I can't even remember
Have you tried making Sims static or what not from the settings
so you can take charge of the wedding and atleast feel it was accomplished better?
"Love will Fight, Love will Win and Love will Survive."
I provide chairs at every wedding but guests would rather just stand around awkwardly and watch.
What I hate the most is guests helping themselves to the fridge. No matter if there is a caterer working away serving food, or if I already put food out for them to eat, there will still be some guests that go to the fridge and help themselves the households' supply. This would be quite rude and unacceptable in real life, so I wish Sims would not do it either! I guess locking doors to prevent them from getting to the kitchen would stop this, but most of my houses are open plan design so that isn't exactly possible!
Although sometimes I don't blame guests for going to the fridge because the caterers often provide terrible service too :P This happens only sometimes, not all the time, and seems more likely to happen when I select a specific Sim to be caterer, rather than select "Hire this role".
Sometimes they have a tendency to just stand around and do nothing, other times they begin preparing food so late into the event that guests are no longer hungry because they've already raided the fridge! In one of my weddings, the caterer did literally nothing but stand around and talk to guests, so I dismissed her and the poor bride and groom had to quickly whip up a cake and some BLT before rushing to actually get married before the timer ended! That was my first wedding though, I've learned to prepare food and cake in advance since then, just in case.
I would like to see the event planning system go back to Sims 3 style, where you plan the event in advance and the party doesn't start until the specified time. Maybe this way, caterers could show up a little early and get the food out a bit sooner, before guests steal my fridge food!
I don't know how it works, I only see my guests sited once in my game.
That's really annoying.
3 ) Caterers are lazy ( sometimes I don't have a sim that's a good cook )
That's right.
My caterers are totally useless.
That's why I never hired them again.
6 ) No double layer wedding cakes
I think those black & white/ white & black cakes are double-layered, aren't they?
I'm just not satisfied with the cutting first piece of wedding cake thing, bride and groom should cut it together just like TS3.
The wedding event still has a lot of flaws which are needed to be improved.
Yes!
And when they feed each other with that first piece of wedding cake, there's nothing on their forks.
That's so weird & awkward .
I thought about it, and it seemed like a good idea, but at the same time I wouldn't want the guests just standing there doing nothing. It's like you can't win, really. Maybe social events would be better with fewer Sims
I think there was a time they did. Now they haven't for a long time and I have no idea why.
3 ) Caterers are lazy ( sometimes I don't have a sim that's a good cook )
I always either cook the food before the wedding or I use the table that came with luxury party where you can just click and buy the food. I hire caterers and hope they would at least clean something..
6 ) No double layer wedding cakes
There is a double layer wedding cake which unlocks when you have level 5 gourmet cooking skill. I think it's a base game thing since I don't have the black&white party.
9 ) You can't edit the wedding attire at all for your wedding couple
You can. I always make them their wedding attires before the wedding. When the wedding starts and they are wearing something random you can click the sim and just select 'change outfit formal 2' or what ever number you made it to be :)

You can bring them in the closet from get together and then ask them to show you their formal dress.
good point , I'm going to add closets to my wedding venues next time.
4 ) Checklist versions of the event are pointless - You do get the prizes this way which you can sell for a little extra cash.
6 ) No double layer wedding cakes - There is a plain white one called Tiered Cake in the Gourmet Cooking skill (and 2 more Black & White/White & Black tiered cakes if you have... LP? DD?).
7 ) Not many wedding theme items - (You might want to check out LP for the chairs/some of the sparkly dresses)
9 ) You can't edit the wedding attire at all for your wedding couple - You can set up an outfit in formal and switch to it as soon as you start the wedding party. That's what I always do.
10 ) No ice sculptures for rich weddings - Pretty sure there is a llama ice sculpture somewhere in the catalogue (might need unlocks cheat)
Closets are also good for consumating the marriage. It's a shame to let that Very Flirty mood of the happy couple go to waste.
