So, I had my Simself become the girlfriend of a Sim who was "Not In World", named by the game as one "Hideki Fujiwara". Great! Then, HE spontaneously asked the two to move in together (Not sure if this is because I have both Parenthood and Growing Together ep's, or if it's something they added to the basegame). So, I had her agree, and moved him in with her. Great!Now, the not so great. One of his traits is Erratic. Which I thought (And so did my Simself *LOL*) actually made him kinda charming. But twice now, sim days apart, he's rolled the Want to break up with her! Twice! I just didn't fulfill it either time, and the next time he slept then woke up, the want was replaced by something else. Phew! And I mean, these two have FULL Friendship AND Romantic bars as well!But...Now I'm wondering...He's not rolled the want again since I had the two of them get engaged (I had her propose to him, and he gladly accepted *Surprising for a Sim that wanted to break up with her twice before that!*) and then get married. My question for my fellow Simmers here is simple...What should I do if he rolls the want again?

I'm going to be unhelpful and say do whatever makes your story the most interesting to you. Whatever you would find the most fun to play out... go with that.And what you find most interesting the next time you check the poll may not be what you find most interesting the next time you play. :)That said, I never play my simself, so I never have that sort of connection to the sims I do play. (She exists in world, but I don't play her.)

Do sims get the Break Up want once they're married? I can't remember if that is a thing that happens.Maybe he was getting cold feet before the wedding and now he's okay :)Or maybe option #5 in your poll is starting to take on some interesting storytelling possibilities for you?

I think you might want to try and do all of the above with different saves.You may find each option entertaining in it's own way. Plus, you will never be wondering, "what if...". B)

I think my real answer should maybe have been Other.If he rolls the want again, I would have them break up. However... if it were me, I would have him briefly date the librarian, but continue to spend lots of time with your simself because of their child. Then eventually realize that the grass is not greener, and he wants her back. During this process, I would also have him work on changing the Erratic trait to something more responsible, through either Growing Together traits gameplay, or a combination of gameplay and cheats. Then he could work hard to woo your simself back.

Disable Wants and Fears, they are only misleading. You know your sims and what they want, the game can only make educated guesses.

@EnkiSchmidt Educated? Really? Looks to me like the game got its education from Wossamotta U.

I think he might be distracted by other sims and I think she deserves better than to stay with person who obviously can't commit to the relationship

He’s Erratic…….he doesn’t know what he wants. Like others have said, choose what story line you think will be best. The wants and fears thing is rather Wonky ( rather like his Erraticness ) anyway. The thing is, can your sim self learn to live with his being Erratic without going nuts herself? Lol

I play semi-wants based. I don't always do what my sims want but if they continue to want something I eventually give in.

Your simself deserves someone who wants to stay with them. But also, maybe he had cold feet until they got married. Maybe he thought things were moving too fast.
