Got Engaged Without Asking?

Everyone, of course, has gotten calls from Sims about such and such job offers even though that particular Townie isn't in that job field. And I'm sure everyone has had those sorts of calls from their own family who aren't in their household. It's always weird to get a job offer from your own child calling you by your first name.

But something deeply weird happened to me. I believe it's part of the Parenthood Game Pack, but you can get calls asking for advice, so you can encourage or discourage people to get married, to have a baby, etc.

Weirdest thing ever:

My Sim's boyfriend called her and did the "I found a ring in (Name of Partner's) bag," he thinks they're going to ask him to marry her and asked what should he should do.

So the message said MY Sim's name... He was calling his girlfriend about finding a ring in HER bag and acting like he wasn't speaking to that very same Sim.

I was very wtf? and said to answer yes just to see what would happen. Quickly got a message that my Sim got engaged and now my Sim has the Engaged! moodlet and their relationship panel shows them as being engaged.

How is this remotely possible or reasonable? Has anyone had anything like this happen to them? Gotten engaged without directly interacting with the other Sim? I have no mods and while I have quite a few packs I have far from all of them.

    @27mia12 My sim just got a call from his half-sister asking if she should Try For Baby.

    With who? You just got divorced, remember?
  • My Sims were a couple living together, one got to work, called the other one, and I chose 'Make your own decision'. She said yes, apparently. Only one of them (the one not at work) got a moodlet. Base game only, 2022. Funny enough - EA just (TODAY) released the patch to remove such calls from the partner after a breakup 🥳

  • I don't have eco living nor get together, and this just happened to me as well.

    I wouldn't say I should have expected them to get engaged.

    I'm my situation the the, now engaged couple, lives apart, but they have a child together. The child lives with the mother in my household. The guy, who is the father of the child, called THE CHILD says the thing about the ring in the bag. I answer as any child who loves mom and dad would, I ofcourse say that he should say yes. And then, voila. I get notification that they are now engaged. Not part of my plan..

    Of the expansion packs I only have pets, get to work, university and get famous.

    This is because of the recently added neighborhood stories. If someone asked for your advice wouldn't you think the likely outcome would be that they followed your advice? Remember that is not the child in the game that decides it is you as the player that takes the decisions.

  • This happened to me too, and my sim was already engaged to someone else! He is now married to his original wife, but still has the option to plan a wedding with his now second fiance??? Does anyone know if he would be able to without divorcing his first wife? I did not think this was possible??
