Proposal got rejected with full relationship bars?

Put simply, I had a male and female sim go on a date together after going steady. They were both feeling flirty, their relationship bars were at max and the date was in the gold zone. I had my male sim propose to my female sim and she rejected it.... What am i doing wrong? plus neither of them are uncommital so the traits shouldnt be an issue. help?
  • What if my sim does have the noncommittal trait? My sim's partner rejected her three times. I'm doing the Not-So-Berry challenge and she has to marry, divorce, and remarry the same sim.
  • Did your sim complain about their “fear of commitment” prior to the proposal? In my legacy family I had a sim reject twice once with full bars and my theory is it’s because of that interaction (I’ve had noncommittal sims with lower bars have no problems they just never used that interaction). You have to watch them like a hawk because NC sims can do that autonomously. So either keep them completely apart until right before the proposal or try switching up who is doing the asking.

    It took me three tries but I did eventually get my sims engaged lol.
  • Try to go on a few dates, then also become best friends, if that does not work, try to max out even HIGHER relationships with cheats. like here:
    modify relationship SIMfirstname simlastname othersimF OthersimL 500 Romance_Main
    replace the simfirstname/lastname and othersimf/l with both sims first and last names. (space between first and last)
  • Weird, my sims wen't on at least 3 dates, don't have conflicting traits, never did certain traits that affected the proposal, and yet when both of the boy or girl propose they both reject, I did this at least 3 times!!
  • Hello! I did have that issue on one of my LP's on you YouTube channel. The sims had a 100% romantic relationship. Try to get their friendship relationship a bit higher, give it some time if it still doesn't work , and if that still doesn't work then try changing a sims trait to family oriented. (change the trait on the sim your other sim plans on proposing to. if none of that work just wait a few days before they propose again, wait until the moodlet goes away, then try again.) Hope that will help, Happy Simming! -@powers6180

    I have two sims who have been living together since forever, friendship and romance bar full, and both with the soulmate aspiration (one always had it, the other just recently completed a different aspiration and switched), so I figured it was about time to make it official on their next date while both were in a good mood and feeling flirty - only for the proposal to be rejected, and I was like: :astonished:

    This has never happened to me before, not under all these favourable conditions, and the game didn't even give me a proper reason other than a tense moodlet saying that it wasn't the right time. But then I found what might have been the root of the problem: The recipient of the proposal was already on level 2 of the aspiration, which requires them to get married to their best friend. Those two weren't best friends at the time, which I thought was a given considering their relationship, but... apparently not. So maybe that was the reason. I'll have the poor rejected soul woohoo around with a few other sims to get over his pain, and then try again, now that they're officially "best friends".
