Should marriages allow more partners?

My fat fingers on my little phone keyboard hit the wrong button. Anyway, Polygamous is more than two partners. It wouldn't let me edit the options.

Poly is already in game. I don't think marriage should be apart of that. It isn't necessary. It is very likely to break the game as well.

There's a huge different between having a three way or more relationship which is polymerous and having more then one spouse . Please could people stop confusing the two? The only word they have in common is the first four letters. Yes traditionally the "more then one spouse" is normally women. But in our own game we could have it be one woman having more then one male husband. Or it could be a mix of a spouse having more then one husband or one wife regardless of their gender. Like if we want to who couldn't say if we played with the option a woman couldn't be married to both a man and a woman at the same time? Just because if an option is added doesn't mean anyone HAS to play with it. It would just be an open-ended option for people to play with if they wanted too.

In real life I only believe in a pair of soulmates. But in game anything goes. That's the whole fun. Having all types of sims good and bad living different realities and aspects of life. So why not have more options? Infact some of the most fun I've had in this game is doing things I would never do in real life. Like clubbing. Never been to one and never will but I have this sim who is club obsessed and we have a blast in there. Why would I need to live out my real life in a video game? Games are supposed to be adventurous and different from your everyday reality. Sometimes they challenge your beliefs and I like that.

Edit to say people complain about ts4 being boring but that's because they try to live out boring everyday real life routines that you can get up and do yourself and complain about anything that contradicts that.

Always wanted a bed for three

I would prefer for marriages to just stay between two people in the game right now, but if it would be optional to have more than one spouse, then I think it would be fine to have in the game. I would just like the option to turn that setting off for Sims, mostly for the NPC Sims in the game since that would get too confusing for me if they had more than one spouse. It might be fun to try out having more than one spouse on some Sims, but I personally wouldn't use that option very much. So I guess I'm kind of in the middle here?

I want the option to have perfectly harmonic threematings in my game, and I want those threematings to be exclusive. If Summer cheats on Liberty and Tavis with an outsider, then jealousy should kick in, but not if any of the trio romances any of the other two.

Polygamy in the sense of one sim being married to several others, with the others not being in love with each other, I wouldn't have use for, but I'm not opposed to it as a feature. You never know when it might come in handy.

Yes, poly families exist, so it should be an optional addition.

Thank goodness that the Sims 4 game is totally fantasy. If it was based on reality I could never play some of my sims naughty. :D >:) :p

I mentioned this back in the other discussion thread, but since I am personally against poly relationships of any kind in real life, I'd prefer to keep it out of the game. I'm pretty traditional and I strongly believe a relationship should be between two people only.

And the only way I wouldn't be entirely opposed to marriage allowing multiple partners is if there's a way to turn the option completely off. If there is a third party in my Sims' marriage I want it to be considered cheating as that is exactly what a marriage with more than two people is to me. And I want my game to reflect my personal stance.
