I need help regarding the relationship wishes

I'm Dutch, so sorry for making any mistakes in English. I have the following problem: In Island Paradise there was a papperazzi who took a liking to my female sim. When he wasn't working and my sim would happen to be there, he came up to talk to her. They became friends and after a few times they started flirting. This was autonomosly. I noticed they were in love. So i let them become romantic interests and invited him over a couple of times. Sometimes he came, sometimes not. My sim could ask him to move in and propose to go steady. No problem there. They are now living together, very much in love. He is not a papperazzi anymore but is a police man. They went on several dates, and my sim got the wish to marry him. Then i noticed that he would get wishes regarding his job, or learn/ improve a skill but nothing regarding her. He only gets the wish to go on a date with her but nothing else. They both are family oriented but only she gets the wish to marry or have a child together. When they are together Sparks fly all over the place and they are constantly attracted or extremely irrisistible to each other but somehow he doesn't get any wish. And if they are both busy with work the bar drops very fast (in a matter of sim hours)  to xxxx finds xxxx ok. Sometimes it also feels as if the game doesn't accknowledge that they are in a relationship and that she is still single. I read that he was an premade unplayable YA townie but that he could made playable by marrying him or ask him to move in. This is also what i found on different forums but not anything about after they moved in together. So i can't figure out if this is a glitch, or there is something else wrong. Or that this is normal. Maybe someone can help me. I don't want to start over and they are such a cute couple.

  • Rumbutter,

    I have played a few times now and i noticed that it's different per save. I play again, everything is fine. Then i quit and save my game. In the evening i started my game again and he did'nt get any wishes again regarding her. At first i thought nothing of it but after 4 hours of game play, still nothing came up. So i decided to save in game and play on and right after i did that he got the wishes again. Really strange. Also the relationbar keeps dropping fast. I played a family for a long time and eventough they were busy with work and children and had no time for romantic interactions  it wasn't that hard to keep the relationbar up to attractive or extremely irresistible. But after the patch 1.69 that i got automaticly  and around the same time buying Ambitions and Showtime. Which i have installed but not using right now (Manager) i started a new game and noticed it was really difficult to keep the bar up. I don't know if one has to do something with the other and what caused it. I don't mind romantic social interactions but doing them all day, just to keep the relationship going is really getting boring.

    But that is another problem i guess. You helped me a lot and at least he gets the wishes too.  Thank you so much.

    hmmmm you could try well when you launch your game save it again with the save as new name then go to edit  town move them out then back in or edit town save a copy of them with or without  the house  to the library then quit restart and start a new game place them in to the new save and see if things go the way you want them too

    I tried the first option you mentioned. I allready did something similar before i posted my question. Just to find out that all their friends in the relationship panel and everything in their inventory was gone. Like i created them new and placed them into town and it didn't even help. But i didn't use "save as". So i tried it with "save as"  then i moved them out with the house and put them back in with the house, like you said.  It is to early to say if it solved everything but at least he now  gets some wishes regarding her. Their friends are also  still there and although i lost a few items in their inventory  most of it was still there. So you helped me a lot and i thank you for taking the time to help me out.  If this ever happens again, i now know what to do from the moment they move in together. Thank you so much.
