Not sure if this has been covered in the forums, I'm sure it has, but still wondering...My sim Damien has been married(and is a soulmate to) his wife Liz. They have three children together.The story I'm creating has to have him cheat and start another family, so I had him woohoo with another woman while everyone was gone. Then I see the option to make her his girlfriend. I did it.Yet he is still married to Liz. Will he be able to marry the other woman while being married to Liz? Strange stuff to me, since in the other games you had to break it off before you could even be their boyfriend/girlfriend. Happy Simming folks!

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.

Also, I have not introduced the girlfriend to the family yet, as I am waiting for her and Damien's first child to arrive....since she is his girlfriend, will there be nasty interactions between her and the wife if I invite her over? Or just a bad reaction if the gf(She's a townie NPC, I think her name is something like Lorraine Becker) and Damien have romantic interactions?

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.

My divorced Sim did get a sad moodlet on occasion, attributed to the divorce. It surprised me, because the first time it popped up was about a Sim week after the divorce. (The wife, I mean. I did not control the ex-husband, have no idea how he was feeling).

They haven't divorced yet(the biggest reason they have to divorce is so the future ex husband can take some kids with him, idk why my sims keep having twins and triplets, and it's starting to get hard to complete everyone's aspirations) but I'm kind of dreading having my lead sim be depressed. Normally I don't like to split families up, but the amount of kids being made is too dang high.
