I'm currently playing in my "Pleasantvire stories" neighborhood and it's time for Cassandra and Don to get married. As you will know, in The Sims 2, there was a chance that a Sim getting married could get "left at the altar". This is usually what happened to Cassandra when the player tried to marry her to Don Lothario. Mid-wedding, Don would hesitate and then run away, leaving Cassandra behind.I understand this could happen if one of the Sims had the romance aspiration or if the bride and groom didn't have a strong enough relationship.I'd like to replay this moment, but I don't think it's technically possible to "officially" do this in Ts4. Do you know if a sim can get cold feet mid-wedding (i.e. During the "get married" action at the altar)? Maybe the "get married" interaction is rejected if they don't have a high enough relationship? Otherwise, I guess I'll have to break the couple up during the wedding party but before they get married so that the party fails...

During the ceremony sims can "call off wedding" which results in a huge loss of romantic score.Been a while since I've done it, don't remember the details.

A while back, my Sim got with Don L (as we know, he has the noncommittal trait) and romance bar was full but friend bar was like half full? and she proposed and he rejected. I am surprised she didn't die from that! Don L. did marry another of my Sim but she got tired of him feeling trapped and always tense that she sent him on his way!I think if you made it thru proposing, then hopefully it will go alright unless you call the wedding off?If you try it and it fails, just don't save it.......but do come back and tell us about it, LOLEdit: Oh my, I just re-read your post. You are looking to break them up before they make it to the alter :D Carry on and do tell >:)

Maybe you can try and lower the romance bar before the wedding, but I don't know if the call off wedding interaction is enabled for autonomous... I don't think so, a lot of interactions are not allowed for autonomous and this looks like one of them. You can call off before they exchange the vows by the way.

You can call off the wedding after beginning the ceremony/clicking on the wedding arch. While they're exchanging their vows and rings, you can click on the Sims and select the option "call off wedding".

I do, but interactions in Sims 4 are ruled by a base score and an emotional score. This interaction have a 5 base score to appear (that's an high score from my observations of the other interactions) and a 0 score on all the emotional state. I tried to tweak other interactions in the past, but the result can be quite unpredictable when you turn on the autonomy so it's hard to test a mod for this purpose, because it seems like the emotional score rules the success percent of the interaction too. It can result, for example, in the impossibility to marry. I'll try when I have time to test it anyway. For instance I don't know a way to make so that only a sim with a certain trait have an high chance to refuse marriage, but I can make so that an angry, sad, or uncomfortable sim will always call off the wedding.

I see. Perhaps sims in a tense mood should have a high chance of calling off the wedding! This could work, if, for example, sims who fear commitment got a tense moodlet during the wedding party/ceremony (I don't know if creating custom moddlets is possible)...If you need someone to test this mod, just tell me! :) I'll be glad to!

Well I tried to make so that the autonomy for the flirt interaction would only be enabled for flirty Sims, what I discovered is that tweaking the emotional score without tweaking the base score results in the autonomy enabled for all the emotional states but, if I backlist the interaction for the happy state (putting the score on a very high negative number as maxis does) Sims don't autonomous flirt when happy, but also refuse every attempt to flirt with them. I don't think the call off can fail, but I don't know what will happen if I backlist the interaction for the happy state and then try to call off the wedding with an happy sim. Not blacklisting the interaction can cause a mayhem but I'll see what happens.

Neither did I! Thanks for the tip--I had no idea.

So funny! This happened yesterday in my game!! I'm playing my own version of Sims 2.

Don and Cassandra were going to get married. Then Bella started making out with Don at the wedding. And Cassandra broke up with Don. Hope that helps!

After the ceremony has started you should be able to click on the sim you want to do the leaving and have the "Leave at Altar" option pop up. It might be under the Mean interaction wheel.

I don't know if you guys figured it out but i'm gonna say :smiley: You don't need any trait or any relationship thing. My sims relationship was fulland her trait was has family oriented but when i clicked the other sims there was Call Off option. You just need to click in the right time, and it's when they start their vows. Before the rings :p <3

Wow, thanks for this thread and the tip about "leave at altar" interaction. I did have it come up one time, but I didn't understand how or why. I've been pondering whether or not my Global Supterstar should marry his high school sweetheart, whom he gave a promise ring to in their junior year or if he should just break up with her by asking to be just friends. This has fueled my imagination. She does have a meltdown (understandably) when a fan flirts shamelessly with him and he 'plays' back. Now, I may have my answer. He may go ahead an try to make good on his promise, only to have her leave him at the altar. I can see the trend mags headline already. LOL
