Oh no! While "checked in" with NRaas, an unplayed couple got divorced. What setting do I have wrong? I'm going to do all I can to get them remarried (assuming that's possible) but I want to make sure this doesn't happen again. This is Tom and Rita Hanks we're talking about here. That's not acceptable!

The relevant setting:
Romance: Allow = False
They can still have "fun" with their partner, but no new romantic relationships or breakups please.
That's exactly how I have it set. And when I went into the family to play it, they were set to Caste:manual value 1
Also, any settings on the lot, on the household and lastly the sim itself will beat caste settings. Did you change anything there?
By the way, to "remarry" the couple, you can just use MC. In "Intermediate", first change the "relationship by type" to "husband" or "wife" (depending who you use the command on), then afterwards the "relationship by value" to whatever you think is appropriate.
Other than that, I don't have any surprises like that in my game, unless I specifically allow for that (I sometimes use the setting that they can divorce but are not allowed to move
I use the same caste for all of my families. This is the only one it happens to. I suspect it is the celebrity disgrace system since this family has an actor. How do I disable that?
I generally disallow celebrities period using the game options unless I am playing actors, singers or bands.
But, if I want to stop celebrity on an individual sim I click on the sim, nraas>Story Progression>sim options>friendship allow celebrity, false, if it is not already off via main options or a caste. Under that is friendship allow celebrity disgrace change to false.
I also protect any couples I don't want flirting or having affairs by using household or sim options and decrease flirt or affairs chances. That won't stop general orneriness or traits being the reason for divorce though.

Unfortunately this is my actor so I have to allow celebrities.
When I go to "celebrity disgrace" my only option is to disallow caste and puts a "1" on the value. I don't see an option to put true or false. Also, when I changed the setting and it showed "1", I did it again and it showed -1. What am I missing here?
I'm afraid to try and change anything else until I get the first setting fixed.
@igazor @Turjan Sorry to tag you guys but I'm concerned that I might have tanked my game and/or family trying to make the above change. What say you?
It has also been my experience when two Sims really want to be together there isn't a 'code' which can stop them. The same goes for if two Sims do not want to be together. It may be worth it to sort of 'keep your eye' on their autonomous public actions when they are not your active household. Especially, look out for how they regard and interact with one another when left to their own devices.
Good Luck.
For the relevant commands at the City Hall menu of how to deal with celebrity disgrace system, use the list here. They concern the "General Options" level.
You can disable false accusations and even celebrity disgrace by type (will also show you a number of how many you disabled if done correctly). You can also do this on a per sim level. None of these options disables the celebrity system per se, so you can still rack up points and advance as normal.
I mostly disabled this, because it's really hard for a sim to keep a positive relationship with their children as a celebrity if the default system is in place.
