Re: [ARCHIVED] Sims cannot propose

What can I do? I've reset the one sim that won't do it. It keeps saying "in your current employ, it's inappropriate to marry" problem is, the sim isn't even employed.

    I'm still getting this issue. I recently started playing with the vampires pack and my sim is trying to marry Vlad but its greyed out.

    I am also getting the message that 'Sim cannot marry while in your employ',  Both Sims are Sims I created and played from child up to their current age of young adult.  They dated as teens and got engaged when they became young adults.  

    FYI, I hadn't played this game file for awhile, but I recently went into it and I noticed that when I tried to get them married that the option is now grayed out.  I then moved them in hopes that would help and it appeared to do so until I saved, quit and reloaded the game and the option was grayed out again.  

    So far I have only noticed this in this game file.

    I don't have any mods/CC in my game, I'm on Windows 10, my game is up to date with patches and I have all packs but the vampire pack.  

      

    Thanks and regards,

    As an update to this,

    1) The two Sims in this couple had completed the 'serial romantic' aspiration as teens.  I had not ended the relationships with the other Sims (I don't remember that being an option when I was playing this file which was a while back).  So I had each of them now do the 'ask to be friends' with most of the people they had been in a relationship with.  Also, since this Sim couple had been 'promised to each other' as teens I had one of them ask the other 'to be friends' and then built their relationship back up to the point where they could become boyfriend/girlfriend and become engaged again and the option to get married is no longer grayed out (FYI, I had one Sim end their relationships first and he was able to initiate get married and the female Sim, who I had not yet had break off her other relationships, was unable to initiate the 'get married' interaction until after she broke off most of her prior relationships). 

    2) I noticed I had another file where the option to get engaged wasn't coming up even though their friend/romance bars were both maxed. This Sim couple had also been 'promised to each other' as teens so I had one of them ask the other 'to be friends' and then used a relationship cheat to put their relationship back to the point where they could become boyfriend/girlfriend and then the option to propose did come up (and they are now married).
