"Power Couple" scenario - wrong relationship condition?

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
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 Paranormal
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Make a sim couple in CAS under the "Power Couple" scenario
What happens when the bug occurs? Despite the fact that the scenario text explicitly indicates that it is supposed to be played with a married couple, it will not let me create a married couple for the scenario; it says the two sims for the challenge must be unrelated.
What do you expect to see? I expect to be able to create a married couple for this scenario.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

Given the text of the scenario indicating it is intended for a married couple, I feel like the wrong condition was attached to this scenario; instead of the condition being "The sims must not be related to each other", it should be "The sims must be married to each other".

  • @Sharkette126 I tested this and while I can't set them married in CAS, they are automatically married once the scenario starts. Is this not the case for you ?

    Can't say why they choose to do it that way and not that you have to marry them in CAS but I think this was done this way on purpose.

    Hey Crin, I am having an issue with this scenerio as well, but not the same exact bug. When I start the scenerio they are auto married and it says job begins in 3 days, so I go about upping their skills to where they need to be. Then on the daily task, usually one can hover over it to see what can be done to accomplish the task, only there is nothing happening this time when I hover. Also when going to the PC and trying to do the task, I click on career and it says to find a job or quit? I mean it clearly says they are beginning in 3 days in the business career, and even shows the daily task of writing a report which I get zero option. I have them skilled up and can't go any further. I am literally seeing peeps with all kinds of issues with this power couple scenerio. Why can't they actually put something out bug free for a change. I have all the ep's, sp's and gp's and have tried with and without my totally updated mods (MCCC; T.O.O.L., Betterbuildbuy and better exceptions), as well as my fully updated game as well as myupdated PG and all within. This is simply for the birds!

    Hugs, TnT_Terry

  • I am trying out the engaged couple fighting over how grilled cheese is made scenario and it wouldn't let me choose fiance in the CAS either. I went ahead and chose household member/roommate and the game automatically changed them to engaged once I put them in the world. It's an odd situation to not be able to choose what the scenario expects but glad the game changes it at least. I do think there needs to be a correction or a note about this on the scenario or the CAS page at the very least. Good luck. Hope you can choose household member and get it to work for you.
