Not quite sure what you mean by "hijack" soulmate status. It's not exclusive - your sims can have more than one soulmate level relationship at the same time. My romance sims have several soulmates all active.
I haven't played with a mermaid and dolphin yet, but even if the dolphin is a soulmate, it shouldn't stop the husband being one too. Also... why is the husband not already a soulmate before marrying them? My sims usually reach soulmate before they even get engaged (because soulmate happens when both friend and romance bar are maxed).
Can now add the Realm of Magic to the installed games packs.
Exactly as it means simvasion. To take control and divert from original/intended path. It was meant to explain what was taking place, as well as a pun (obviously only funny to those who get the old timey reference).
We’ve had the game for a year now and no one on any of the save files have ever gotten more than one soulmate status with another sim. On top of that, once reached it stays even if you have your sim break their heart.
(And before someone asks without realizing the platform says Xbox.. Yes, the game is updated. Xbox will not allow you to play any game if there is an update available for it and all updates for it are installed.)
Because not everyone plays the same way? The soulmate status is buggy at best. Even with two sims pre-created as married, if the two sims reach Soulmate status before the “married to BFF” the Soulmate aspiration does not count the two as BFFs. So we aim to not reach soulmate till after that part. And que in the “once reached it stays.” That includes if one of the sims die.
Soulmate and BFF are two different relationship statuses.
My sim has four soulmates, which is the top romance status you achieve if you fill both the friendship and romance bars. It can go through various pre-stages depending on the levels of the bars - if you have low friendship but some romance, it gives you the status "Romantic Interest" and then this gets replaced by something else if you continue raising the levels of the bars, for example "Lovebirds" if you have good friend ship and romance bars at the same time.
BFF is best friend status, which you can only have one at a time. You have to ask a sim to become your best friend using the option under Friendly socials, but this is only available at extreme high level friendship bar (maybe 90-95% full?). It's not something that automatically gets assigned. I've had sims get married and then have to temporarily switch their best friends to each other just to complete that step of the Soulmate Aspiration (usually they have other best friends).
I haven't experienced any bugginess with these.
No, not a mix up.
Again, multiple soulmates do Not appear on our game, on any save file. Soulmate pops up only once, and at best is buggy. Also, it does not always appear as soon as your get friendship and romance up all the way. It’s been this way since we first bought the game (disc, Sims 4 + Cats & Dog version).
@OmoskyI don’t know how it works on Xbox, but is there an option to repair the game? (That’s an option on PC.) If that options exists, have you tried it?
On computer it’s possible to have several soulmates, and the soulmate status can disappear.
