Yikes, I do not want arranged marriags. I'm all for respecting cultures and traditions, but I cannot support out dated sexist traditions, and I don't want them anywhere near my sims game.

That sounds a very biased and not respectful at all. Arranged marriages ≠ forced marriage and there are many sucessful arranged marriages. Its just a cultural difference. It would be an optional feature anyways so its nothing for you to be upset about.

I don't care if it doesn't sound respectful, because I don't respect it.


ar·ranged mar·riage
/əˈrānjd ˈmerij/
Learn to pronounce
noun
a marriage planned and agreed to by the families or guardians of the bride and groom, who have little or no say in the matter themselves.


This doesn't sound optional to me ?

The option would be whether or not you use it in your game. For some Simmers, they may want to have their parent sims arrange a marriage for the kids (when they're old enough of course) because that's the tradition in their culture. For others, they may want the drama of an unwelcome arranged marriage for their storytelling.

I wouldn't use it myself, but I wouldn't have a problem with it being an option.

They would need to rework the entire dating, falling in love, system. I don't think sims can marry in TS4 without being in love or engaged first. They also can't woohoo without being in love. So, with arranged marriages all you are doing is romancing the partner after the marriage not before.
