    Sims now can propose to their beloved without rejection (congratulations!). On the same note, Sims with multiple romantic partners now can propose and marry one of them and not get sabotaged by their partners’ predicament of not being able to get married because they are employed together, even when they are not.

    Fixed in Patch 1.68.154/ 1.33 .. again .. hopefully for real now

    If you're still experiencing this issue, please create a new thread.

Thanks for the tips. I would like to just wait for the ghost but he is gone and so is the headstone, so no ghost to be seen. Although if I look at her relationships he is not mentioned there anymore. And if he isn't there, shouldn't the relationship be over?

I would guess that yes, if he is gone from relationships it should not be him that is blocking it. Do you have anyone under the romantic relationships at all (besides the fiance)? If you have anyone listed there, try calling them over to ask to "just be friends" and see if you can get married after that.

Only other thing I can think of is maybe you're trying to marry a sim that can't be married, like the mail carrier or a butler, something like that? If that's the case, I don't know how to take care of that other than a mod that can force the relationship.

    No other romantic relationships and he is working on a career I gave him (was unemployed before moving in). Keep trying to marry them every time the game gets updated but doesn't seem to help.

    HI @marran94 

    and he doesn't have any either ? Maybe a prior one where the Sim has died ?

    @crinrict No he doesn't have any other relationships or dead spouses from what I can tell.

    My game installed an update just now but the problem remains.

    Is this still the same sim that can't get married? The one from this post: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-INPUT-Can-t-get-married-because-Sim-works-for-me/m-p/7862693#M89680 That sim was previously married to a ghost, that was sent to the netherworld.

    If so, even though you had the issue before your mods, there have been patches since you last posted that may be contributing to the problem. 

    Spoiler
     

    I suggest you try to repair your game -

      • Exit TS4 and Origin completely.
      • Delete the file localthumbcache.package Default location is C:\[YourUserName]\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4  Instructions with pictures are here: https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2014/09/delete-cache-files/
      • Move your entire Mods folder to your desktop (as a backup) Default location is C:\[YourUserName]\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Mods
      • Launch Origin "As Administrator" (Right-click Origin.exe, choose Compatibility tab, Check the box next to "Run this program as administrator")
      • In Origin, right-click The Sims 4 icon and choose "Repair". Origin has to be online for this to complete. Let the repair run until completed, on the game and any installed packs
      • Launch The Sims 4 and check to see if the issue is fixed.

    If the issue is fixed, then add your mods and cc back to the new mods folder a few at a time. If you have a lot of mods, use the 50% method

    If you still can't get them married, make sure the sim you're trying to marry is not a service sim (maid, butler, gardener, mailman) @EuphorialQueen mentioned that being the leader of a club that both sims are in can cause this issue, too. Try her listed suggestion to ask your current fiance to "just be friends", then romance them back up and propose again.

    If none of that works, the ghost might still be listed as the spouse, even though you can't see it. Resetting the sim might help, or you may need to use a mod to get rid of the relationship. 

    I hope one of these suggestions helps, so you can finally get this sim into wedded bliss! Happy simming!
