Wife....and a girlfriend?

No. He'll have to break up with his wife if he wants to remarry.

Also, I am using no mods whatsoever, never have in past games and probably never will in any future games, if anyone is wondering.
Just trying to see if anyone else is trying to screw up their family lines as well :p

Yeah, Polyamory is almost a thing, but polygamy isn't. Well, to be specific, bigamy isn't a thing.

I had a single Sim who successfully asked a married Sim to be his girlfriend. He could not propose until he asked her to leave her husband (which she would not do initially) and then have her actually go do it.

Sims jealousy has been a little disappointing for me. Apparently a lot depends on what is done within the line of sight of the spurned spouse. My Sim had a lot of romantic interactions, including hugging and kissing, with his married girlfriend while on a date at a bar with her. Her husband was there, but his back was to them and he did not respond. Later the ex-husband used to come over to visit his little girl. I noticed that if my Sim would answer the door, his relationship bar with the ex-husband was in the red, but I never saw the ex be mean or try to fight or anything.

I've had kid sims get the sad moodlet from sims dying in different rooms than the ones they were in, yet the husband can cheat right next to the wife and nothing happens....So very strange.

I have a wife & girl friend with 1 kid with both & one on the way with my girlfriend who was the baby sitter. The wife & girlfriend R best friends now without me making them interact. Now my challenge is to get the wife pregnant & see if we can all get along. I am loving how they R not knowing about my husband miss deeds like in real life lol.

I was half asleep when I wrote this & when I read it back I had 2 laugh 2 myself ?????? . But I really ment to put my Sim family.

When I first started reading this there was a brief moment where I thought you were talking about real life... Like, you were confessing to cheating on your wife on a sims forum. Sometimes it really confuses me when people refer to their sims as 'I' :D

I'm terrible for misunderstanding this. Not just with 'I', but also with 'You'.
I've been giving out to people because they used 'you' in their post, me thinking they were being a bit smart towards another community member. Turns out they were talking about their sim. :D

I feel like such a fool sometimes...

But in retrospect, these posts are hilarious.

The jealousy is disappointing for me as well. Seems they reacted more in S3... kids would get angry if they saw dad flirting with someone other than mom... neighbors would tell on you if they saw it.

Don't know that I like this "line of sight" thing... I mean with death if a sim does not "see" it they do not seem to notice that dear sister was eaten by the cow plant....as if she never existed.

I HATED sims 3 jealousy. It didn't matter if you had the cheating sims in a room within a room within a room in the middle of nowhere, the ENTIRE TOWN would magically know about it. At least Sims 2 jealousy made sense. Sims 4 jealousy appears to be similar to it.


To the original poster: your sim can have multiple girlfriends and boyfriends, but just know: if his wife dies or divorces him or whatever, he won't be able to marry someone else if he's got multiple girlfriends going on. For some reason the game turns up a "You can't marry a sim in your employ" error, which ..er, raises questions. What I do is have my Sim just have as many romantic affairs as they want, but either they never marry or they never use the girlfriend/boyfriend option. I find the older I get the more I play my sims like bonobos, though. :D
