So sims can just divorce on their own? Wow. I am such a newbie. :|

I don't think EA's story progression will do that autonomously, or at least not very often, but NRaas' Story Progression will do it. As @igazor explained it in a different thread (and I may have misunderstood that explanation - I do that from time to time), all it really takes is for the relationship to drop below a certain level and SP will just turn that into a divorce (without Tammy Wynette or Jerry Reed accompanying). If there is room in the town, one of them will eventually move out, but I'm not sure how the game decides which one. If there is no vacant housing, I'm not sure what happens.

Not really sure it's the same as formal divorce and I believe EA progression might do this too (could be mistaken). If two sims' relationship scores for each other are dangerously low, their partnership can just sort of...melt away and dissolve. NRaas SP allows you to set the point where that can be allowed to happen. The default is -90, which is pretty far over in the red. I've only seen this happen with actives once though and it was kind of by accident, usually my even not so blissfully happy couples don't let things degrade quite that far. At -90 to -100, they are really enemies. "Let's just be enemies" is a pretty odd breakup line. :/

On inactive couples, I believe the triggered event is a more formal breakup. If there is no available or suitable housing in town, the distressed former couple will either continue to live together or one of them will not be able to stand it in the house for a moment longer and might move in with a friend (different scenario).
