Getting married in The Sims 4 is a romantic milestone that lets your Sims build a deeper connection, share a household, and even throw a beautiful ceremony. Whether you want a quick elopement or a grand wedding, here’s exactly how to tie the knot in The Sims 4.
Step 1: Build a Strong Romantic Relationship in The Sims 4
Before proposing, your Sims need a high romantic relationship. Use interactions like:
- Flirt
- Embrace
- Kiss
- WooHoo
Once the pink romance bar is mostly full, and both Sims are in a good, flirty mood, the option to propose will appear.
Step 2: Propose Marriage
Click on your Sim’s romantic partner in The Sims 4 and select “Propose.” If the relationship is strong enough and the proposal is accepted, the Sims will become engaged.
Tip: Proposals are more likely to succeed when both Sims are in a happy or inspired mood.
Step 3: Choose Your Wedding Style
Once engaged, your Sims can:
- Elope Immediately: Select “Elope Immediately with…” for a fast, private wedding
- Plan a Wedding Event: Use the phone or calendar to schedule a wedding under “Plan a Social Event”
Step 4: Host the Wedding (Optional)
If you choose to host a wedding:
- Select the venue (your lot or a public space)
- Invite guests and choose the bride/groom, officiant, and roles (requires Wedding Stories pack)
- Make sure to include key items: arch, cake, seating, and music
Click on the wedding arch and select “Get Married” once the event begins.
Step 5: Enjoy Married Life
After the ceremony, the Sims will be officially married. You can:
- Combine their households
- Take the same last name (manually if desired)
- Go on a honeymoon or start a family
Marriage unlocks special interactions and deepens the emotional connection between Sims. Whether you’re into big celebrations or simple vows, love always wins in The Sims 4.
