[MWS] Can’t get married by clicking on the wedding arch

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? Norsk
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.83.24.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All, except Journy To Batuu, Bust The Dust, Garden Oasis, Fashion Street, Blooming Rooms, Modern Menswear
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have an engaged couple and travel to a lot with a wedding arch.
What happens when the bug occurs? The marriage options are greyed out. When hovering over it says that it’s innapropriate to get married to a sim you have hired.
What do you expect to see? Being able to get my sims married by clicking on the wedding arch.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

I can plan a wedding and elope, so the issue seems to be specifically with the wedding arches.

i’ve tested in Brindleton Bay and San Myshino.

i didn’t test with a wedding arch on my own lot.


I think this came with one the the recent updates, but I’m not 100% sure.

I’m not sure if it’s the same bug as this thread.

    Marriage is blocked by the Role_Service tag, which is currently used by 18 different situational jobs. And while most of them do have a tooltip (red title), job_IslanderCulture_NeedSomethingFixed_Repairman does not.

    job_Deliveries_FoodDelivery - Zoomers Food Deliveryman/woman
    job_Deliveries_GroceryDelivery - Grocery Deliverer
    job_Gardener_Service - Professional Gardener

    Karin must have adopted one of those at some point.

    @crinrict I checked my game, and my female sim do have a part time job as a nanny/babysitter.

    But why does this affect if she can marry my male sim? Is it because my male sim has kids with other female sims?

    @crinrict Whatever it was seems to have been slightly fixed.

    I divorced them to try again, without quitting her job as a nanny,
    With my female sim as the active sim, the option to get married is there. With my male sim active, the option is greyed out because ir’s innapropriate to marry someone who is employed by my sim.

    I had her quit her job as a nanny, and it’s the same options.
