"...Dismiss them from their role to further pursue a relationship." Is what came up when I tried to propose. Turns out my boyfriend isa mail carrier and im a writer, theres a conflict of interest. Ive never seen this before! Breaks the immersion when I have to go to household management to make him quit his job. :neutral: Why even enforce this? If i wanted to marry him so I could keep selling 'bestsellers' (honestly, I love him for his personality! :p ) the game wouldnt let me. Does a romantic relationship actually affect the writing career? Hes not even the sim that delivers my mail.

I had this too, I don't remember how I fixed it but I think I made the more "junior" sim propose instead. Try that!

I would guess it's in place to avoid sims who have special roles causing bugs from being in unexpected situations. But I'm pretty sure it can happen as a result of a bug as well.

HelloIt is an issue that is affecting some simmers games. A workaround to fix it so that your sim can propose. is to have the sims break up with any other boyfriends or girlfriends that they have . Doing this can help with the issue.

Oh jeez, that's a thing? Relationships between co workers are so common lol now the game is uptight about it ...

At the time my sim had 2 boyfriends. I ended up going to household management, plopping him on a lot, quit his job, then return to my sim and after that he was able to propose.

It is good that he is able to propose now. :)

That's a new one -- I had no problem several game saves ago with my Sim proposing to and marrying her gym instructor. (He lost his job but the great thing was he already had level 10 Fitness so I gave him the Bodybuilder aspiration and put him in the Athletic career.)
