If you put these "once engaged" couples in the game from your library, and play them, do you get the option for them to elope immediately, and if they do, can they actually complete a marriage ceremony? Is the same thing true with planning a wedding and having a marriage ceremony successfully complete in front of guests?

If they do complete the marriage ceremony through either method, does the game recognize them as married, ie, no longer able to be married to someone else via story progression?

If you use MCCC, can you delete all relationships, have them first kiss, become girlfriend/boyfriend, and propose again to have the game recognize them as truly engaged? If you are able to do this, does the game then still try to marry them off to a sim they were never engaged to via story progression? If you are able to get the couple re-engaged through this process, do they show the same inability to be changed to some other state through CAS that you noticed when they came out of your library as previously engaged. If not, how do the newly engaged couples differ from what you were seeing with the library couples?

Can you verify the same problem exists in a game save that has never had mods, after letting the game generate a new saves folder in a game without mods, and putting the library sims into that never had mods game? Do you get the same results as above?

Your answers to these questions will help to more clearly identify what is happening, and whether or not what is happening should be classified as a glitch.

edited to ask one more question: If you use MCCC and delete all relationships, can you then save the couple to your library and put them back into the game and then successfully change their state inside CAS to your desired configuration?

So yes to clarify my engaged sims can enlope/marry though i noticed with the inactive households their relationship is acquaintance there is no romantic relationship level but I can still make them enlope.
I've started up a new world with NO mod (as previously I had them disabled but I was using the current world that having issue). I created two sim who had no connection had them build their relationship to dating then engaged but same thing happens I am unable to go to edit household mode and make them married.

Also I noticed this is happening with every relation type married/family so this isn't happening with just engaged like I though

I have cheats enable so I should have the option to completely change their relationship

Another thing is when I go to cas and place the engaged couples from the library I am able to change them to household members from there I would place them on a lot then go to edit household mode where I have the ability to completely edit their relationship make them married or siblings I would make them engaged again then the same thing happen the system doesn't recognize it. As for the using mccc to delete their relationship and going through the process of developing their relationship and then making them bf/gf then engaged after they are engaged same thing happens
I don't know if this help any I think I will just have to go and play all of my unplanned household and make them enlope.

From what you describe, I think you might be running into game mechanics, rather than a glitch. But perhaps someone else with more experience in this type of thing can weigh in, now that you have provided more information. Thank you for testing this and clarifying. 🙂
