They eloped!

I honestly think that if this was happening as a result of game code changes, it wouldn't be the first report of it 23 days after a large patch and 10 days after a smaller one. Also worth noting that this isn't a report about rotational play, from the description: it's the active household, so if there is an issue, it's autonomous action not story progression (still a problem if it's game-code-based, but not rotational-play-specific). Hoping the OP comes back to see my previous question.

This wasn't during a rotation. The OP was playing a different member of the same household according to the first post. We're the sims that married on the same lot you were playing, @Jalice4ever ?

You know you might be right about that as well. I know from experience that the GT patch introduced a slew of autonomy glitches (which was fixed real quick thankfully) but I can definitely see how touching the autonomy coding would bork a lot of things.

If this IS a glitch I hope the devs can fix it after new year.

I'm not so sure it is going to be a glitch. People thought autonomous woo-hoo was a glitch just to find out it's a feature. It would not surprise me at all if this (if true) is intended.

I personally do not want story progression on my played sims (the ones in my rotation), I could care less what my townies do with their lives, I just would like to see options in the settings panel. For me there is a big difference between higher autonomy (sims tending to their garden on their own or jogging around the neighborhood) and sims getting married, or having woohoo for the first time (SP).

I'm okay with autonomous proposals, I had a sim propose to his girlfriend in one save not too long back. But I don't think I'd be fond of auto marriages. At the time I had the auto proposal, it seems neat if they would get married on their own, but having thought about it... I don't want that moment taken from me.

A proposal, I can kind of see. The sims were so in love, they just seized the moment. Okay, EVERY NOW AND THEN I can see that making it into my story. But I want to chose the wedding/eloping time and memories.

This is the way I see it too. There's a big difference between autonomous gardening and piano playing vs auto-proposal. And I don't want that happening with any of my sims.

@ChelleJo I can see what you are saying about auto-proposal and being in love and seizing the moment, but for me, I have some sims couples dating right now who have very strong romantic relationships, but they are dating. I don't know for sure whether they will actually end up as couples in my game yet or not. I really don't want the game deciding it for me.

I can understand that. With me, I tend to do the "fall in love at first sight" and "marry high school sweethearts" a lot. That is where I think that. But I can see with couples just dating and not ready to settle down that auto anything (Proposal or marriage) would be a major buzz kill.

I've done that a lot in the past but it kind of became boring for me to play that way so I like to see it a little more open and maybe a bit more real as in not every relationship works out. I kind of get story lines in my head for who will be with who, but I like it to be open to change if something else happens, or I see a sim getting along rather well with another. Maybe there is something there to investigate. So I want to keep them open to new relationships that may come along. Or a different story for them. I never know lol.

But that is part of what I love about sims 4. It's MY story and not the game's and that was why I had such a hard time with Sims 3. I was relegated to one household and I really can't play like that.

I checked, I don't have any mods. I don't like downloading them I'm afraid of viruses. :/ lol I'm not mad, they were going to get married anyways but I like it planned when I want! Lol

I can see they ve added some story progression.

And they need to take it right back out. I want to manage every detail. Plus what if i want them to have a wedding and not have them elope?

It's horrible. Story progression sucks.
