    Relationship settings

    in The Sims 4 General Discussion
    I wish that there was a setting in the relationship panel that you could set them as boyfriend or girlfriend or fiancée when you're creating a family. Especially I want them living together but there is no relationship if they aren't married. You have to force them. I want to be able to put them in a romantic relationship and THEN have a wedding for them.

      You and millions of the rest of us all feel this way. Kind of blows my mind that they STILL haven't added that to the game.

      I've wanted this for years. Hopefully one day.

      I hope they put this in the new wedding pack. Or at least in an update. I feel like they are against unmarried sims living together if they are in a relationship. They need to get with the times.

      I want this so bad, too! I was always surprised that my choices were roommates, siblings, or going straight to married, lol.

      I'm hoping just hoping that's being added to the update next week.

      Is the boyfriend/girlfriend relationship retained when you save a family in the library or upload it to the gallery?

      @RitaMary no only marriages are saved if you decide to move a couple into a new load or save them only the marriage is saved and it loads new at about 60% romance and 45% friendship. If they're dating and live together they will be saved as typical roommates no romance meter will load in. I've also noticed that the relationship between two sims in one load isn't exactly the same in another load.

      They may be very talkative and gain sentiments easily in one load and then be indifferent towards each other in another load

      Thanks. I haven't tried it so I didn't know.

      Sometimes, the spouse notation doesn't keep when uploaded. I've discovered this the hard way. Had thing set initially, then had to restart my game for various unfortunate mishaps. Only to open a new save and download the same family. Discovering after the fact that they weren't married! It's really odd to have the couple being newlyweds (should you take car of it in game) when their firstborn is close to being a YA. Face/palm. Rule of thumb I try to live by: While in CAS when downloading a family, check the relationship panel for the parents to make certain they still show up as husband or wife. Can save a lot of grief in the long run.

      Best of luck! And Happy Simming!

      I think having little pet names between sims would be fun too; like Little Love-Monkey for someone in a romantic relationship or Little Turtle for a toddler son/daughter. The names should also be made by the simmer like when a baby is born. Squishy-Face!

      You can with MCCC.
      But yeah, without a mod, would be nice if it was built into "create a sim."

      My vote is putting this into "Base Game".

      F.Y.I. Without mods, you can type in the cheat bar: cas.fulleditmode to edit relationships on existing households.
      It's basic, like brother, sister, mother, father, spouse... When a relationship is changed, keep in mind that the game automatically adjusts it to what makes sense.

      Fiancé is going to be a base game option, one of the gurus said in a tweet.

      I thought fiancé was already in the game. I never rally paid much attention though.

      Unless you mean it will be added as a cas relationship at start.

      Yes!! I just read ab article saying they are putting fiance in the next base game patch!! I hope they add boyfriend/girlfriend to it. Because what if my sims doesn't want their partner to know they're gonna ask?
