Neighbourhood Stories update - marriage, please?!

Can you please update neighbourhood stories to include marriage this year?

As it is right now it is useless without mods (that I don't want to play with) because any sims not already married at the start of the save will end up single and alone until they pass away without the adopt children enabled.

NS does not make the world "alive" as it is now, it is just a sad unfinished feature that makes it even more obvious that its half-assed and you never planned to complete it. What is the point of creating it but not letting the sims get married if that is a requirement to have genetic kids? I guess it doesn't make money so why spend time on it huh?

I want an alive world with genetic offspring but I still have to micromanage and cheat to marry sims off for them to have kids, what is the point of the NS if it does not work on it's own?

Like we've had it for a long time now but still no updates.

You can just make it very simple: singles sim YA and older can marry other sims and move in with them (brings any underage kids and pets with them). That is it. Then the whole save file doesn't die off. 

Please just update NS so sims marry. I don't even care about fiancé/ boyfriend/ girlfriend whatever. Just make it simple if you will but please update it.

  • Agreed. It’s such a pointless system as it is now.

    On a similar note, I wish they could fix the “ask on date” phone calls - they don’t even result in any relationship if you say yes! What is the point??

  • @JackOnYourBack I absolutely agree, this unfinished state is just sad. I was so happy when they first introduced Neighborhood Stories, but I also expected them to expand on it.

    I was really hoping that they would add something for Lovestruck, it would have been so fitting.

    And I understand that you don't want to use mods, after all it shouldn't have to be necessary for stuff like this. But if you ever change your mind (or someone else is interested): I made a mod that adds marriage to Neighborhood Stories (it's called "Neighborhood Stories: Marriage" on CurseForge).

    @lucombre I checked once and I think they actually do add a little amount on the romance bar, but the relationship will be culled superfast, so basically the game is working against itself.

    Lol, I just saw EnglishSimmer's video about Lovestruck and there actually are new Neighbourhood Stories!

    I'm surprised that this wasn't mentioned anywhere :o

  • they should add marriage, divorce, split households, create another household, join other households into neighbourhood stories
