Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? MCC.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure (my guess is that it's a bug with lovestruck/relationships)

So for context I was playing the sims 4 minding my business when I get the (insert name) is proposing marriage pop-up. I assumed the sims was proposing to the other adult sim in the household so I said yes. Oddly enough only one of my two adult sims had the engaged moodlet so i was confused. after some investigating i figured out that my sim proposed to my other sims adopted child. I fixed the problem by having them break up but OMG this should not even be possible in the game. I don't have any picture of the initial pop-up mostly because I brushed it off but I do have screen shots of their profiles with broken engagement as evidence.

for some more context I wished for the child out of the romantic garden wishing well and I got a ghost child and brought him back to life (I don't know if that's important or not but I thought I should mention it)

  • @Real_Silent_Yeti Since you had mods in at the time this happened, it's a bit hard to tell if it would happen without. Probably hard to replicate but do you have any backups from before it happened ?

    Do you remember which Sim was active at the time of the proposal ? There have been issues before where the Sim wanted to advance the relationship to the active Sim instead of the one intended but I haven't seen reports for this in a while.
