I found that my Sims 3 FAQ page was getting a little long and the word count a bit heavy, so I have decided to split it up into separate pages on particular subjects. This page is about relationships and households. I have tried to put the questions in a form of chronological order. PLEASE NOTE I CANNOT HELP YOU WITH THE SIMS 3 ON IPHONE, ANDROID OR ANY CONSOLES, THIS IS PC ONLY.
Woo! Lesbians!
A teenage sim has a boyfriend, she has grown up, he’s still a teen. I don’t want their relationship to degrade, what can I do?
Indeed, that’s the way the world works, as in the real world too, people aren’t all the same age. You have a couple of choices. The first is to wait until the younger one ages up, which isn’t normally more than a few days. Or secondly, you can try the Awesomemod, which allows romantic relationships between teenagers and young adults/adults (probably elders too). My advice is, if you download it, to read all of the instructions and take note that it may conflict with other mods. It wouldn’t work at the same time as the teen marriage/pregnancy mod for me.
On The Sims 3, what’s this simultaneous boyfriends thing about?
I’m a little miffed as to why you cannot have simultaneous partners. There’s a lifetime achievement of having had 10 boyfriends/girlfriends, but you cannot have more than one declared boyfriend/girlfriend at any one time. Sure, you can fall in love with other sims while you have a boyfriend/girlfriend, but you cannot “go steady” with them, which kind of sucks. In order to complete that lifetime wish you have to have become the boyfriend/girlfriend of 10 other sims, having just been romantically linked is not good enough.
In The Sims 3, can you get family to be romantically involved?
Part of me wants to say “unfortunately not…”, but that might sound a bit dodgy. You see, I had this crazy idea for a couple of my sims. A young dude’s father died, but he was brought back to life by this young dude’s Mother. This pair didn’t get on, so the Father went off and had children with someone else. Eventually he moved his younger charge and their children in with him, and he also married her, thus making the young woman this young dude’s step-mother (she was younger than him). I figured, that when I sent this guy back to the netherworld she would be a widow (thus making their marriage over) and that she would be able to have a relationship with the young dude (her step-son). Now, that’s not entirely unheard of in real life, particularly so as she didn’t “bring him up” as it were, he was already a teenager. But they cannot have a relationship as he sees her as his step-mother. Family ties are much tighter and far better written on The Sims 3. In short, not they can’t be romantically involved. A few generations apart and they can (I had two get hitched and have kids who were related through a great-great-great-great grandfather.).
Can a woman propose to another woman on sims 3?
Of course. There is proper gay marriage in The Sims 3. Once the option of “Propose Marriage” comes up, you’re away. They’ll do it in the same way as heterosexuals: get down on one knee, produce a ring and then wait for the answer. The same goes for men.
Do you have a sim that won’t move in, or who cannot propose?
This has happened to me, and was no end of frustration. I had a sim who had no commitment issues. He had a girlfriend who did have commitment issues. I spammed both the friendly and romantic actions to try to instigate at least the “move in” option. He had to move in with her, rather than her moving into the active household as I had no room there. I’ve had sims in the past with commitment issues who have gone on to propose to and marry other sims, no problem there. This one just wasn’t playing ball. Eventually I had to split and then merge the households. On the main menu, find the “Edit Town” option. Choose the button to split a family, choose who is going to move out. Once that’s done, choose to merge families. You can now merge the person or people that you just split out with the people whom you wish for them to live with, so long as there is space in that household. Simple as. Well, a bit annoying to be honest, but it works.
What happens on The Sims 3 if someone rejects a marriage proposal?
Err, they reject it, and that’s pretty much the end of it. I had one woman whose girlfriend had the Insane trait and she kept asking this crazy woman to marry her. She asked about four times and was rejected every single time. As the moodlet says when it occurs, they’ll get over it and can try again but the humiliation gets no better.
How do I set up a wedding on The Sims 3?
This applies if you are marrying someone into the active household. Of course, you need to start out by making sure that you have two sims who are engaged. Then, you need to be certain that there is enough room in that family for them to move in. To get the wedding started, get the person in the active household to use their phone to “Throw Party”. A dialogue box will come up asking you to choose some variables. These include the time of the party, the type of dress, and the type of party (you have a choice of Birthday, House, Wedding and Funeral I believe). You will also need to choose guests. Once you’ve set all of those and clicked okay, it’s just a matter of waiting until the time counts down and your party is near. When the guests arrive and you’re ready, get the two who are to be married to marry each other. I believe that option is under the Romantic interactions. Once they’re married, the other person will move in.
In the Sims 3, can you have an open marriage?
Err…no. Bit of a shame really, but if you can handle Mods then there are some no jealousy options in the AwesomeMod.
In The Sims 3, how do you move teenagers out or in with one another?
From what I can tell, you can’t. It would appear that the teen pregnancy/marriage mod doesn’t work in the same way that it did for The Sims 2. In The Sims 2, about halfway through their teenage years they would suddenly become capable of certain adult interactions (such as marriage, moving out, and their job would switch to the adult career), however this doesn’t seem to happen with The Sims 3. Instead they have to wait until they get to the Young Adult stage before they can move out. However, you may be able to use the split and merge family option if you’re really desperate, but I haven’t tried it.
In The Sims 3, how do you move someone into your household?
There are a couple of ways to do this. First off, you could marry them if you’re into that, and of course if it’s a romantic relationship. Short of that, you should find that once their relationship (I believe romantic or otherwise) is high enough, then the option to “Ask to move in” should pop-up on one of the pie menus. Ask away and see what happens! But, do remember that you can only have a maximum of eight (8) sims on a lot, and if you’re not getting an option to move someone in, that may be why. If there isn’t already a hack available to enable more people on the lot, I’m sure there will be in the future. Also, if the person is in the family bin and there is room in the household you should be able to merge the families together.
In The Sims 3, how do you move out an entire household?
This is not entirely removed from the previous answer. You need to get your sims to use a computer and choose “Move”. You’ll then get a box asking who to move and where to move to, you need to choose whether they are simply being evicted or moving to another lot. I believe there is a button that says something like “Lot” or “House”. Choose the place they’re moving to, and the people who are moving. Click on the tick, and you should be away!
On The Sims 3, if I marry someone with kids, do the kids move in too?
You know, I have a funny feeling that it’s optional. When the new spouse goes to move in with the person that they’re marrying, a box should appear asking for you to select the people who move in. It may be that children have to, otherwise they would be left alone, however I wouldn’t be surprised if it was optional to include the children.
On the Sims 3 can I move in/somehow edit a family when someone is in the process of dying?
I know that might sound like a strange question, but I’ve had a hit from a similar one. It would appear that, as in previous versions of the game, nothing else can really happen while a sim is dying. You cannot move people in or out, actively get married or stuff like that. The death takes priority. I can’t quite remember what I was trying to get a sim to do, but he couldn’t do it while his step-mother was dying, so he had to wait until the Grim Reaper had put her into her grave before he could.
In the Sims 3 if you merge households will the surnames change?
No they won’t. In The Sims 3 the surnames are rather more dynamic. If someone moves in to another house then their name will remain the same as it was before they move. However, if they marry someone and then move into the house owned by the person that they married their name will change. I have in fact seen houses where it may say something like “Kraft Household” on the map view, but no-one with the surname Kraft lives in the house.
In The Sims 3, can you cause other sims to break up?
Why yes, yes you can. If you have a sim that is in a ‘relationship’ with another sim who is already attached to someone else, whether that be by marriage or otherwise, then yes you can ask the sim that’s in a relationship to break up with their partner. Remember kids…men never really leave their wives for their mistresses!
On The Sims 3 can you break up your own relationship?
I’ve already covered getting other sims to break up, but what I haven’t covered is breaking up your own relationship. It’s actually very simple. You have to start by turning things a bit sour. Of course, as with previous incarnations of The Sims when couples don’t talk to each other much or don’t WooHoo a lot their relationship begins to degrade. You can get sims to choose a mean social interaction which will be something like “Scare”, or “Argue”. I will admit that it’s easier if the instigator is Hot-Headed or Evil. If the sim on the receiving end didn’t like it, they will lose some relationship points. Keep doing those kind of nasty things to the other sim and eventually you’ll have an option appear that is “Break Up”. They then break up. Simple as.
How can I have more than 8 people in my household?
If I remember correctly, this is now available as part of Awesomemod.
There is someone living in my household and I don’t want them to be, what can I do?
You have two choices – first, you can get them to use the computer and choose the option to “Move”, or you can go through the “Edit Town” area in the main menu and forcibly move them elsewhere.
I recently had a “birthday party” for my newborn. Because I wanted her to age, I tried to do the same thing a few days later, After she had been potty trained and could talk and walk, and she was not on the list to select who could blow out the candles. Am I allowed to age twice in that manner? Please help, ps: i have de activated aging and I aged her with the birthday cake.
I’ve never tried it myself, but I think you can. The fact that you’ve turned off aging might be having an impact. I think that all babies have to age, so they’ll become toddlers, but I’m not sure whether all toddlers have to age because it’s a life stage where they can actually do things as opposed to a baby who can’t. Sorry I couldn’t help more there.
you probably tried to age the toddler too soon. you have to wait at least 2 days before you can age them again, unless you use a cheat
There is a cheat where you don’t have to buy or use the birthday cheats to age them up. its (TestingCheatsEnabled true) Than you shift click on the baby or toddler and press trigger age transition. If you don’t like what the Sim looks like when its a kid or don’t like his traits this cheat works for that too! But remember to turn it off after by typing in (TestingCheatsEnabled false) before turning of the game or else your game will start to get slower and it will eventually crash.
P.S. do not include the parentheses when typing in the cheat!!! or ()
I love sims 3 i triend playing it in my cousin’s house but i can’t get it i guess i willonly get it in 4 years i will be 20 well i guess i will get it never i really, really want it!
I have people living with me and they won’t do anything unless I control them, is there any way I can make it to where I only have to control my character and they do there own thing
Not really. You can make sure that freewill is turned on and they’ll be capable of doing things of their own accord, but so will your sim, so you can do that, ignore all the rest and only control one if you want to.
You could also check disable autononomy for the selected sim in the options menu. Then you’d have to do everything for them.
remember whatever u want your sim to do will cancel out most actions:)
ive made my main sim which is a girl separately from my male sim (i made my female sim and later edited my town and added my male sim in it). I wanted to try a little challenge of actually having to get the male to like me. But we became good friends before i can “confess my attraction to him”,ive tried a million times things from the romantic bubbles but nothing works. Am i going to have to stay good friends or do i keep trying??. Please help!
I wish I could give you a specific answer. I have turned good friends into lovers. I think it took a lot of patience and flirting
I’ve had experience with the: if I marry someone with kids, do the kids move in too?
So the girl had a kid, and when the guy married the girl and she moved in, the kid HAD to come with her, I had no choice on that. Can’t leave the kid behind, I tried. Though this kid was a toddler, so I’m not really sure if it works out the same way with children and teens.
Thing is though, the kid was also the guy’s daughter in the first place… he got the girl pregnant BEFORE the girl married him and moved in. Don’t know if that was taken into consideration, and the father felt like he had to be responsible for the kid or something. LOL
Nah, it’s most likely because there was no-one else left in the original house that the mother was moving out of. Wish it more about responsibility though!
what should i do if my one kid sim can’t interact with anyone and none can interact with him????? PLEASEEE HEEELLPP!!!!!!
Try doing the reset sim cheat. Should fix it
..OK…I have a big Family (5) kids and the adult kids moved out and had their own children, how do I find out which children belong to which parents if the family with the kids arent my active household?….Is there a way to find out….do they have a family tree I can look at?
I think the only way is to look at the family tree, but believe that the only way to view that is to have one of the family members as the active sim.
okay, so i have this problem and i’m reallllyy really hoping someone could help. kay so, one of teen sims aged up into a young adult so i decided to get him married. after i moved in his new wife, my household reached the maximum amount of sims in a household. i wanted them to have a baby so i can move them into a new house but i couldnt. so i decided go on edit town and split the household and i took out two sims. after that i had the baby and moved them out. THEN i went back to edit town and merged the two sims i previously took out back into the house. but then i saw that the relationships have changed and the two sims i merged back in arent related to my sims anymore.
how do i make the relationships go back to normal? pleasseee please please help me! i dont want to start over, this is the longest sim family i have ever played with! 
(
Have a look online to see if there’s a program online for The Sims 3 called SimPE, or any other similar programs. With The Sims 2, SimPE allowed you to edit the relationships between sims
Okay so I’m hoping at least someone will help me out with this. My sims has a wish to throw a birthday party for another sim that is NOT in my household. I really want to fufill that wish but I don’t know how. See, it’s actually my sims daughter, who moved out a couple days ago and now she is having her birthday and my sim wants to throw a party for her. My main question: How?
You could try throwing a party by using the phone and inviting her round. It might then give the option on the birthday cake, but I’m not sure, as I’ve never had the conundrum before.
It’s possible, I’ve done it in the past
just throw a birthday party and invite your daughter. Then click on the cake and you should have the option to age up any of the guests who aren’t elders, including her 
So ive got this sim that i think has lived too long so is there any way on sims 3 that you can kill a sim without having to make them get older?? Please help!!!!
You might have disabled aging, so look in the options to see. if not, just wait a while, or perhaps burn the house down.
Is this for the sims 3 PC game? Because I have the one for the 3DS and there are none of those features that your talking about( I think…). I’ve been on like 12 websites to find out how to get to the beach part and it said something about a PC game.
Is this the sims 3 PC game? Because I have the one for the 3DS, and I don’t have any of those features (a least I don’t think so…). Oh, and is the beach on the PC game. If there is one… Is there even really a beach place?!? This game is very complex and confusing! ):[
Oh, and how do you have kids? ):[
Like I say at the top of all of my Sims 3 pages, I can’t support the console versions of the games because I only have the PC version.
I have a BIg problem. i got married to a sim and we lived in my household for quite some time and then i decided to move to a different location. when i moved my ability to contol my wife was gone and now she doesnt live with me anymore. please help.
You didn’t choose to move her with you…she may be gone forever, unless you move yourself back into her place, or use the “merge households” option.
im a female and i proposed to a man and we got married then as soon as we got married it said he is now in my household but he actually not. i cant control him and i still have to ask him to come over and spend the night. ive been trying for hours to get the move in question there but it wont HELP!!
Having this same issue Dx
I’ve added (young adult girl) other sim in my household, and I also have my own (teen) guy sim, can they be in a relationship? meaning boyfriend/girlfriend. thanks
Not entirely sure, I think that you would need a mod that allowed teens to have romantic relationships with people older than them.
Ok so I was dating this sim, but I broke up with him, then became close with him then asked to move in, now it’s taking forever to get them tk get married, what should I do???
Once burned, twice shy is all I can say on that count. Sometimes sims that have broken up and then got back together have a real hard time getting hitched.
Ok so my sim daughter which is a teen has had a celebrity boyfriend for a few days, then all of a sudden him and his family moved away…I couldn’t find him on her relationship panel so I figured they were broken up. I then tried to get her another boyfriend but now she has a naughty reputation. She did try to be with him in public so I can see the reputation part, but i’m still confused if Her and her old boyfriend are still together after he moved. Help Please?
Sometimes Sims just seem to leave the neighbourhood without much warning. If he’s not listed as a friend/boyfriend for her anymore then I would guess he’s gone and they’re not in a relationship anymore.
This is the first time this has happened to me and I for the life of me can not figure out how to fix it. My sims got married and have a very good relationship (the bar is completely green). But when I look at their family tree it says that they aren’t married but if I look in the list of their friends it says they are married. Has anyone else had this problem. I have tried breaking them up and then getting them remarried and it fixed for a little while but it just did it again.
Actually now that I look at it the sims just have the symbol under their picture in the friends list that says they are married if I hover the curse over their picture it says that they do not have a partner but I don’t have the option to marry the sim again unless I break them up.
I have the same problem. I have this guy that proposed to this girl and she said yes. They had a private wedding, and later had two children. I was feeling bored so I checked the family tree and it said that the couple was unmarried. I am not sure why it says this, but I dont want to break them up and get them remarried. Please help!
I’ve played every sims and I’ve never ran in to the 2 problems that I am having right now with my sims 3.
The first one is that I have 2 sims engaged and living together but no matter how many romantic or friendly actions I use the get married option never comes up. I’ve been trying for so long that they have twins that are now teens and another set of twins about to become children so I would really like to get them married. Also I had the girl in a family I made a while ago and the guy I made in edit town and just tossed him in so that she could have someone.
My next problem which I find even weirder is that my baby twins dislike my older twins and both of their boyfriends. I use the “testingcheatsenabled true” cheat to keep the needs always up so other then the parents going in to snuggle them every once and a while they don’t leave their cribs in their room but they randomly got a betrayal mod thing even thought they’ve never seen them and I just don’t understand what happened there at all, bug?
for the marriage option, you need to click on the sim you are engaged to and say “have private wedding” or you can just throw a wedding party. and for the second one, after you’ve typed in testingcheatsenabled true, you just need to go to the relationship panel of the baby and find the older brothers/sisters. then you just need to drag the relationship meter up. then make the boyfriends interact with them so that the boyfriend can get into their relationship panels then do the same thing as you did to the brothers/sisters
Hey, am, my teenage sims moved out and now I can’t control them, Is there anyway I can control them again without them having to move into their previous house?
Not really, you’d have to create them as a new save game. Once they’re out of the house, if you don’t choose to have them as the new family, then they’re part of the town.
i was wondering if anyone could give me any tips for caring for more than 2 sims in a household? i know this sounds silly since you all are talking about multiple sims but i seem to get a bit overwhelmed when i am trying to track needs, goals, and interactions of 3 or more sims.. does anyone have any suggestions to make this easier? i’m going down the line of lifetime wishes so i can play all the sim types and i just know i’m going to have a serious problem when i get to the Surrounded by Family lifetime wish.. help!
Just keep checking between all of the sims and what their needs are. If needs be, send some of them off to do long tasks (whether that be work, or painting something big) and focus on some of the others more intently for a while. When I haven’t played for a long time, I get the same issues with time management, but being able to focus on a couple of them is really helpful before moving on to others.
(SIMS 2) ok so i have a little girl, a dog, two brothers, one lady, and two people that are married. is there a way that i can break up the married people, move the mom and the two little kids out, and make the dad and the other adult get married?
to make this easier, say that the one lady is Ella, and the married people are Mark and Alyssa. can i make mark and alyssa get divorced, alyssa move out with the other two boys, and mark and ella get married?
Yep, sure can. Just degrade the relationship between the two you want to break up, have one of them “move out”, choose who goes with them and start working on the new relationship
i am stuck on sims 3. when you have a family and your family member/members move out how can you still be able to carry on playing from that house hold as well as start a new game with the people that moved out, sorry if this doesn’t make any sense it was hard for me to explain
You can’t do it all at the same time. The people who have moved out, you would have to create a new game with them at the point of moving them out. It would be, pretty much, a whole new town with a whole new save game. Not quite as good as previous incarnations of The Sims, in my opinion.
i definately agree
and thanks
I have a HUGE problem on my sims game that been happening for a while ( to a few different families) and I’ve tried to research why it was happening and I got NOTHING so I’m hoping you can help me. Ok so my sims had their son and their TWO sets of twins living with them at the time. Meaning that their was 7 people in the house. I wanted to get my girl sim pregnant again so she could fulfill her lifetime wish of having 5 kids (the oldest boy is her step-son not her real son) so I got her pregnant again and turns out she had twins AGAIN. I knew that the maximum number of people in the house was 8 but I was positive that there was no way she could have twins again. So anyways long story short, since my house was too full my newborn twins got moved out and they’re not in anyone’s house in my town. I moved the eldest boy out recently but I still can’t get my babies back. They’re in the family tree but they’re not anywhere else
and one more thing! My babies aren’t aging. Every time I look at the family tree they’re toddlers and I know they should at least be kids by now. Any advice for what to do would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Have you tried adopting to see if they are the ones that you get?
Hi I have sims 3pc, almost every expansion pack and a few stuff packs. Anyways, I have a family of 5 right now. Husband, wife, and 3 toddlers and a baby on the way. I would like to have plans for moving out the kids once they get older, perhaps teenaged years or young adult (if that’s possible to move them out while they’re teenagers) but I was wondering if it is possible to move them out and regain control over them again? Like, perhaps I wanted them to maybe get into a relationship with a particular person or get a particular job or have a baby at some point in time… I’ve been doing Google searches but can’t seem to find a site that can explain what I’m trying to get the answers to. I hope you can help me with this. It’d be greatly appreciated. You can email me your answer get_tish@yahoo.com Thank you in advance.
Hi Tish,
I believe, like all things in the Sims 3, in order to be in control of the sims you need to create a new save game. When you move them out I believe it asks if you would like them to become the main family you’re playing. Never done it myself though, I only ever want to turf them out
you actually can. just go to edit town. then go to the bottom left corner where the menu is. the find the button that says “change active household”. it should be above the menu thingy and a little bit to the right. then you say yes and yes. then you choose the option “choose household” then choose the house that the teenagers are living in and you’ll know wat 2 do from there.
This has never happened before, My sim is called robin and she is a teenager she has a really good relaitionship with her mom. One day she needed the toilet and the mom and the dad were in there. When she shooed them to the next room the mum had “Ask to leave home” on her q list. Whenever I clicked on it, it would not delete. Eventually Robin was so busy playing with one of her younger sisters that the mom gave up and stopped trying to ask her to leave the home. Help! Why did the mum try to do that and how do I stop it happening next time. I don’t want robin to be kicked out.
Hi Sammie,
Quite possibly because the daughter is old enough to leave and her mother wants the space/time alone. IRL, I have a great relationship with my parents but think they prefer me not living with them anymore
Question:
I had moved in an unrelated Sim to my family household. One of the daughters just became a teen but she won’t flirt with the unrelated member (and vice versa). Yet, I DO get the option at times to ask him to break up with his girlfriend. But that option comes under friendly. She can romantically interact with other people so why not him? It’s like he is treated as family even though he isn’t. And the wife will flirt with him at times but the teen daughter won’t.
Also, I had two weird instances with “Ask to Leave Home” – in one it is a glitch where “Ask to leave room” showed as “Ask to leave home” but on the other member it showed correctly. The other was when my CHILD daughter wanted to ask to leave home! I had to force the mom out of the house so she couldn’t ask.
I would assume that, without mods, the teen can’t do romantic actions with anyone older than her. If you have a mod installed that allows this then it should work.
My male sim tried for baby with his girlfriend, but the girlfriend hasn’t moved in. What will happen with the baby?
The baby will live with her unless you move them all in together.
Okay so in my family I have my sim and her boyfriend and my friends sim and boyfriend and their 2 kids. My sim and her boy friend have a kid together. He died one day on accident but I played chess with the grim ripper and won so he came back to life. Ever since then all they could do is go steady and I cant get them to get proposed and married. They both just turned adults.
Yeah, I’ve had this issue in the past where they come back as either proper sims or ghosts and they just don’t get on in the same way. I’ve never found a solution unfortunately
Same happened on mine, when they took a trip to China they could get married there. Worked for me, hope it helps you.
Hey. I have a problem with my Sims people. I have this teenage girl who is in a relationship, with a guy that moved away and doesn’t exsist in the “Friends” list or anything.. Now I can’t be in a relationship longer than to the romance part. This sucks.. Help?
If you can’t get him back into the town…their relationship is gone forever I believe.
Okay, even though I noticed it’s been a while since any questions been asked in here, I thought I’d try to ask anyway. I’ve got a problem with my sims father. He won’t stop hitting on my sims girlfriend. It practically split up the whole family.
Is there anyway to stop those randomly crushes that just occurs?
Sorry it takes so long…my job keeps me off my computer most of the time.
Have you tried lowering their relationship to quite a bad point? I’m not sure if it would work, but does in real life.
If your household is full you won’t get the option to propose to someone outside the household. I guess because this would not enable a new spouse to move in? Anyway, there is no need to force your sims to live together first, although this will work. To do it the normal way you just have to get rid of one person from your household so that there is space for a prospective spouse to move in.
i love this game
Hey there! I was hoping you might be able to help me out. I currently have a family that I love, and would hate to lose. It goes back like 10 generations and I’m in the middle of a good chapter in the lives. I’m working on getting the oldest son married and having a baby, so I added his girlfriend to the household. At the time she was a teenager, so I used testingcheatsenabled_true and clicked “Add to Household”.
But now, as she was interacting with my sim when I added her, the action/relationship module up in the right hand corner that appears when you’re interacting with somebody is stuck. It isn’t actually functional, and I can’t click it away. I also don’t have a different save file.
I had this problem in the past and somehow got past it but it was a really really long time ago and I can’t remember now.
Any advice? I already tried deactivating the active household and choosing them again. Still there.
Have you tried the Reset Sim command?
Also– do you know a good teen relationship/pregnancy mod that won’t eff up my computer?
nraas woohooer.
Hey there!
Okay, so I’ve gotten the new Sims 3 University Life and my young adult, female sim, now has a romantic interest with anger young adult male sim. So far it doesn’t allow the option to go steady, but I want to know, when they both finish their degrees, how do I move them back to their old neighbourhood my Sim came from before she went to school.
Thanks
Wish I could answer that one, I don’t have University Life. The last expansion pack I got was Ambitions. Sorry
They will have a relationship afterwards, so you can go from there with phone calls. A lot of the time your sim gets a degree before other sims, so you can always go back. I’m not positive, but I think that some sims stay in University world just as people there. He might be one of them. I’ve had to play in University 5 times because of a glitch
So how can I get my boyfriend to marry me after University?
I don’t have the University expansion pack, so unfortunately I can’t help there.
When you get home you just use your phone to invite him to your home. Then the interaction “Ask to move in” should become available.. ;] good luck..
I had this problem! I added the guy to my active household (using shift click) and then when my sim finished her degree and went back home the guy did to. Hope that helps!

I tried shift click but it didn’t work. Also did you use shift click at the university or not? Basically my sim and her boyfriend have completed a degree but I want him to join my active household. What do you type in before shift click?
It’s the testingcheatsenabled true flag, but you’d need to google to make sure you get the correct format
Another * darn auto correct.
i love this game
I made my sims get married and the boyfriend did not want to propose, so i made the girlfriend propose and now it only says that she is married and he is not even though they had a private wedding. When they had a baby its says its his son, but doesn’t have his name, and he is single and she is married. I’m confused and trying to figure out how to fix it.
If I want a sim to ask another sim to break up with his girlfriend, how do I do that? I don’t want him to get cheating status.
From what I recall they have to enter into a relationship to the point where the option appears when clicking on the sim “Ask to break up with xxx”. I’m not sure how far into a relationship that may be. I’ve done it a few times and on occasion it’s taken just a couple of kisses and admitting that they’re attracted, other times one of them had to be pregnant.
My sim recently proposed and got married to her now husband, however they haven’t moved in together. It’s getting really annoying, as it means I have to constantly ask him to stay the night. My sim is expecting a baby soon too, and I don’t want it to affect that. Is there anyway of getting him to move in?
Edit your town and merge their households. As long as there’s enough space for him to move in then it should all be fine
You see… im doing this pregnant challange where i have to get as many babies as i can (so far I have 7) and i wanted to try for baby with my maid. I kept on trying and trying but i couldnt hear the baby noise. I read online the only way to have a baby with the maid is to marry them. So i did, and i got pregnant! So right away i broke up with him and kicked him out. Thats when something went wrong. Instead of leaving he just stood in front of my house as if he was waiting for a bus that never came. I tried clicking on him but nothing worked. The game said he was still moving. I quit the game and went back on, and he was gone! Though it STILL said he was moving. Now i cant enter edit town,buy mode and i cant call for services. PLEASE HELP
Sorry, everything is fine now
I used testingcheatsenabled on the cheat console, found the maid, and deleted him. Now I can enter edit town and buy mode! The only problem is that…well…can i still have my baby? I’ve been pregnant for some time now, and i dont want it to stay that way /:
Try the reset sim command if you can. That might sort things out
Thanks, i tried resetSim and it worked! I have one more qestion for you though. If you eat the Ambrosia while your pregnant, will you still have your baby(ies)?
Hi hi,
Yep, the pregnancy should be normal even after eating it. They just get to spend longer at that life stage with their kid
Can sims have multiple children with different people at once? Like, make babies without being in a relationship?
They sure can. You can’t quite remove the ‘requirement’ for a relationship, but some sims like to bed hop.
how can you cheat without being caught???
Make sure no-one else is around?
I have a teen girl sim who has not “decided” which partner she wants later in life… she was kissing her girlfriend, and after the girlfriend left, her romantic interest boy came over and they kissed too. My sim’s younger sister saw her kissing the boy…and now she hates her sister and the guy she was kissing… so now what? Will my two sisters be able to be friends again? Right now they won’t interact with each other at all!
Note: I do play the 360 version of the game…which I know you don’t cover here, but I was just wondering…will time heal all wounds with PC or 360 version so that the sisters will talk and be friends eventually again?
In the past (obviously on the PC version!) I have managed to get two sims in a state of hatred back to talking to one another. I don’t know if on the xbox version you have the option to “apologise”, but I’ve usually started there. Apologising repeatedly, pretty much to the point of grovelling. It takes a damn long time, but eventually they’ll talk. Patience seems to be the issue with that kind of situation.
Okay, thanks. The teen’s charisma is low, so I don’t have apologize yet… (think you need a few points there for it). So guess I’ll start by polishing up her skill there, and see if time will eventually let the two start talking again!
Well, guess that shows that NO ONE should see you “cheating”! Not even your own little sister! Lol…
I thought they were supposed to make jealousy and such things better in the Sims 3. It sure doesn’t feel like it!
Well, just a small update. Got teen’s Charisma up a few points, and I was able to get the teen and her sister to talk…however no matter what the teen said to her sister, the sister found it “boring”. So teen apologized. No real ground was gained.
The next day, I at least got the two of them to sit down and play chess with each other… and since they “chat” while playing… here is hoping that I can get the “hate” to slowly go away…
You have far more patience than me!
Hi, I was wondering, I have 3 young adults who all have girlfriend/boyfriends… Each relationship has been going on for quite some time now… How come the option for proposal has not come yet but try for a baby and woohoo has? (I just want to start families for them all)
It’s one of these things that can be a bit of a mystery. Have you tried it from both sides of the relationship? Sometimes I find that one sim will be able to propose but the other can’t. It’s largely to do with things like the relationship level, their individual families (is there enough space?), and even how compatible they really are based on their traits. Though, if someone else has a better idea, please feel free to post it
True…. I can only control one person per relationship and there is 8 sims on the property so that’s probably it. But 2 of the sims on the property are on their death bed lol
Oooh, get in there! Unless of course that sounds insensitive
i cant make two sims who are romantically involved become boyfriend/girlfriend and they both have no other romantic partners what do i do?
p.s both of them have the family trait and the only option is praise
Is there anything like a big difference in their ages? Without mods, teens can only be involved with teens. Adults with othees who would be considered adults, young or elder.
Hello there! I am having a little problem. You se i have a familie with at mother, a father, their baby, and a plantsim who, in the family tree, only says the mother is his parent. The mother has married the father AFTER the plant sim was born/harvestet, but i would like for him to be the plantsim’s father somehow. So my question is: do any of you know how to either let an active adult sim adopt a child from the active household, or how to maipulate family ties in the activ household?
Any ideas would be apreciated.. ;D
Putting your comment out there because I don’t know the answer…but Plantsims are back?? Woah. I thought they were just a thing with The Sims 2, but I’ve googled it and it comes with University. Almost swaying me there with which expansion pack to get. The Plantsims in Sims 2 were adorable. Are they much the same in The Sims 3?
