I saw an old thread that's been necro'd, but I still wanted to talk about Sims' proposals, so I thought I'd start a new thread. Do you take your sims to certain locales to get beautiful pictures? Or are most of your proposals in their underwear in the middle of the night? (mine are, lol). Pics and stories welcome!
Here's some shots of one of my most recent sim's proposals:
https://i.imgur.com/AGbs7E9.png https://i.imgur.com/oSl6MFN.pngClara and Kayaan met at the homeless shelter where Clara's daughter had been staying. She'd run away from home to get away from her tyrannical father. Eventually Clara worked up the nerve to divorce her husband Mario. She got married immediately after that to another sim, Krishna. That marriage lasted about a week, during which time Rebeka convinced her mother to let Kayaan come live with them. He was a homeless veteran who'd helped keep Clara's daughter safe while she couldn't, so it was the least they could do. Turned out there was chemistry between Clara and Kayaan. It turned out all right for Krishna because he realized he was gay when he met Caleb Vatore who he's now happily married to.
I honestly never thought about staging it that way (special time and place). It was just wherever, whenever. Like, standing in the kitchen with dirty dishes here and there. Not on purpose, just never thought about it as something that required a setting, you know?

Usually I will have my sims go out on a date to a restaurant then after their meal I will look for a nice quiet spot for the proposal to happen. All the different worlds in the Sims 4 are all mostly beautiful so it's never hard to fine somewhere nice.

I never know when to expect it. I've has proposals autonomously happen all over the place - during a date, right after WooHoo, in the kitchen after breakfast, watching a movie, while dancing at the nightclub, hanging out in the living room after some heavy flirting.. and I love it. I love the utter shock I get every time it happens <3
Are these any of your own Sims? Or just NPCs? I'm intrigued because I do have MCCC and ever have used that setting.
I had another proposal today, this time in the front entryway of the house, in workout clothes. https://i.imgur.com/8W1SS3X.png
The kneeling sim is the mother of all the sims in my previous post who married the premades.
There's also her other daughter, who was dating Wolfgang Munch in high school and then moved to Forgotten Hollow and became a vampire. She invited him over, he learned she was a vampire, she learned he was expecting an alien baby, they had coffin woohoo, he moved in and at some point they had a pretty casual proposal somewhere in the house. He had to leave the unofficial wedding party to go to the hospital and have the baby.
And that daughter's twin married Pierce Delgato. I have a feeling she might have proposed to him on this date to a karaoke bar I got off the gallery, but there's no picture and I don't remember for sure. https://i.imgur.com/HcsSvS0.png?1
Just like the others, it depends a lot for mine... although I almost always go for casual, more heat-in-the moment engagements:
The one I planned out beforehand the most had them on an actual date at the Von Haunt estate where my female Sim had once expressed, decades ago before she became an evil vampire, that she'd want nothing more than to get married here. Finally, decades later, after her sister had stolen this place from her by getting engaged AND married here with the man SHE loved, her current boyfriend reclaimed the place for her by proposing on the spot she used to love, long after her sister and ex-crush's deaths. :sweat_smile: https://i.imgur.com/d62BInA.png
Here's another very planned engagement of mine: https://i.imgur.com/Sfr0ov0.png
It'st the casual, heat of the moment ones that I still remember the most and which I love the most too. They were totally unplanned - I just thought the moment was 'right'. Like this one of my Sim on her morning jog, after running into her boyfriend.
…Shiva suddenly felt so powerfully drawn to Guthrie that he finally decided that screw it, this was it. This was right. It felt right, and so it must be.
He dropped his knee and Guthrie’s hand went to her mouth in shock. Shiva grinned up at her. “You probably know what’s coming, don’t you?” Guthrie smiled nervously. “Your shoelace is untied?” He fumbled in his pocket and pulled out a ring. Guthrie’s hand moved to her chest. “I know you’re young, and I know this might feel sudden but I… yeah, screw it, I’m not sappy enough to give you the speech. Will you just marry me?” Her smile broadened – she was smiling so hard it felt as though her face had cracked open. “Well, who could say no to that?” “So it’s a yes?” Shiva checked, just to be sure. “Hmm,” Guthrie responded, pretending to think about it. “This is not a very comfortable position, you know?” Shiva said, pouting jocularly. “God, you’re a bad romantic.” Shiva grinned. “I love you,” he offered. “Alright then,” Guthrie answered, smiling from ear to ear. “I’ll marry you.” “Oh come on, babe. Once more with feeling.” “Yeah babe, with that mediocre proposal this is all you’re gonna get from me.” “Come here, then.”

Or this one of my Sims during Spooky Day, partying and having fun with just the two of them: https://i.imgur.com/Hphx7yB.png
On a visit to the crater a year after they managed to defeat the Mother:
"So... here we are, huh? In the big, scary crater. Except that it isn't. And it's all thanks to us." "Still looks kind of creepy to me," Maddie joked. "It's ours, now, though. Our kind of creepy." "Your kind of creepy." Emil smirked. "Who's the military girl here?" "Not me. Not anymore." "You'll always be my military girl," Emil said, planting a kiss on her lips. "So, military girl..." Emil started, as he went down on one knee. Maddie's expression instantly turned into shock, her smile faltering to the suddenness of the moment. "Will you marry me?" It didn't take all that long for Maddie's initial shock to fade - and turn into a feeling of perfect, exuberant happiness instead. Her smile returned with full force. "Yes, prodigy boy... I'll marry you."

...By the tent in Granite Falls right after waking up in the morning and finding impulsively how it's such a beautiful day today to propose. :joy:
That morning, with Calder and Reyna standing in front of her tent, chatting casually, Reyna suddenly went down on her knee. At first, Calder thought she was just tying her shoelace - what else was he supposed to think? He sure as hell wasn't expecting *this.* He sure as hell wasn't expecting her to reach into her pocket and take a ring out of it. "Look," Reyna started. "I know this feels... well, incredibly sudden, and--and rushed, and... but being raised by two mothers who loved each other *so* much, I can't *not* believe that true love exists. I was lucky enough to have two parents so in love, and I watched them spend their lives together... I was also unfortunate enough to have two parents who weren't young anymore, and watching them, it made me realize... it made me realize just how much we must cherish the time we get to spend with our loved ones. It made me realize, as my mothers taught me, that if you love someone, to not waste any minute without them. To cherish every moment. To take as much of the time together as you can. So that's why I'm here, kneeling before you... to ask you to, let's please spend whatever time together that we can. To cherish our love, and the time that's been given to us." "Well," Calder said, after he had taken a moment to process it all. "Who could say no to that?" "Really?" Reyna sounded surprised - as if she hadn't expected him to say yes at all. "So it's a yes?" "Darn right it is," Calder said - and he kissed her.

Or, as another user already used too, in the midst of a looming apocalypse... but not because the world is ending....; because it won't.
“Ti,” Romeo started. “I know we're young... way too young, actually, so don't take this too seriously...” He took a moment to look at the ring he was now offering her. “I mean, you might remember this ring from the Happy Meals I got us on the way here... Which, man, they really don't make Happy Meal toys like they used to, do they?” Tehani shot him a look, and so he coughed forcibly and went on. “Right. What I'm saying here, is... I love you. I really, really love you. Frankly, I never thought I could love someone so fully before I met you. I never believed in soulmates or one true loves or romantic comedies... until I met you. You... man, Ti, you made me believe..” his voice lowered into a whisper, “...in romantic comedies!” he breathed scandalously. Ti rolled her eyes. Romeo smiled. “No, what I'm saying is that I love you. I love you more than I have ever loved anything or anyone in my life—except maybe my mother, but, you know, can't go and compare familial love to a romantic one... I mean, I'm just wanting to put the statement out there that it's not like I *don't* love my mother... anyway. God, this is turning too messy even for my liking. I'll try again: I love you. I love you now, I'll love you tomorrow, and I feel like I can say with a certainty others might not believe in that I'll love you forever. And I want to be with you forever—forever meaning forever. And, you know, I figured, since we're out here now, and you're asking me if we're gonna be okay... I want you to know that we will be. We'll be more than okay; we'll get through this, have our fun little adventure, and after that we'll be living long and happy lives... and...” a blush had risen to his cheeks. His voice softened; he sounded almost shy. “I was hoping that we could do so together.” “Romeo...” Tehani started. She couldn't even tell herself how she was feeling. “I'm just twenty years old..” “And I'm just offering you a Happy Meal toy ring. We can scratch the rest.” Finally, Tehani found the overpowering emotion; and it was happiness. “Or we don't.”
Are these any of your own Sims? Or just NPCs? I'm intrigued because I do have MCCC and ever have used that setting.
Both my active Sim and the NPC sim they are engaged to have autonomously popped the question on different occasions/saves. Of course it's most shocking when the NPC proposes to your Sim! I have not seen an NPC propose to another NPC though ?
Thanks for getting back to me on that. Sounds a tad risky. LOL What if your Sim brings home a Sim he or she should never be caught dead with? :open_mouth:
