I'm not posting this in the bugs section because I'm assuming it's not a bug, just something I don't understand.Edit: The more I look into this, the more it is definitely a bug.My sim is engaged and the two marriage interactions are greyed out, with the message "Marrying a Sim in your employ would be inappropriate. Dismiss them from their role to further pursue a relationship."Does that mean her job won't allow her to marry? She's an internet personality. I don't get why that would prevent her from marrying. x.xUpdate:Luckily this Sim has the Serial Romantic aspiration, so she had several boyfriends and girlfriends lined up. I dumped the first guy and tried marrying two more people and I'm getting the same message. The weird thing is that the option will randomly be available for a minute and then if I click it, the action will cancel and it will be greyed out again. And I can't seem to notice any specific pattern with when the option becomes available. With the first fiance, I even tried adding him to the family and employing him. Still got the same message. And when I added him, his marriage option to marry the girl was there, but it would just immediately cancel every time I clicked it.

What about the sim she's marrying? If not this is probably an actual bug

I am guessing they did something stupid with the recent patch.

The new stuff pack has butlers in it. So, most likely this will only be resolved if you buy the new stuff pack. The game is probably reading every sim as a butler or something.

In other words, they need to fix the patch they just released.

I'm having the same issue, the option is grayed for one sims that I created from zero. I have that message: "Marrying a Sim in your employ would be inappropriate.

I can answer this. I had this problem and I figured out that the issue came from the current relationships of one (or both) of your Sims. Either one of them (or both) definitely have another girlfriend/boyfriend out there. Just have the guilty Sim breaks up with them and they can get married normally.

From my personal experience being unable to marry is due to having many boyfriends or girlfriends. This has only happened in game to my sims who have multiple love interests- not sure if being boyfriend/girlfriend is the problem or having romantic interest at all is. Either way, breaking up with everyone made it so my sims could get married. This is the third time so I KNOW that's the problem in my case.

More than one lover will cause this issue. You can either breakup with the others, or delete them, either way should fix this issue. My sim had ano alien boyfriend. He was impossible to reach so I deleted him. Problem solved.

In the patch notes they did say that Sims at weddings will stay seated now so they obviously did something in the area of the wedding programming - so perhaps that fixed your issue.

Hah! I've held two weddings since that 'patch' and the guests still mill around during the wedding. Even my controllable Sims will mill about. After I've put into their queue where to sit! I'm frustrated and angry that the wedding has been messed up since the beginning of this iteration. Here we are well into February in the new year, too. Writin_Reg, please understand I'm not yelling at you. I'm just ranting, in general.

SimGuruNick says they know about this issue and are looking into it. I'm getting tired of these patches breaking stuff.

Hello
For simmers who are having issues with proposing , try having the sims use the " just be friends " interaction, then build up their relationships again until the option to propose appears.
If you have the I ssue where you get notification that they are unable to marry someome that they employ , try having the sims break up with any other boyfriends or girlfriends that they have, and see if that helps.
