[By design] - There is no option to ask NPC romantic partner to move in.

Product: The Sims Mobile
Platform:Android Phone
List the specific devices you play with (e.g. iPhone 6s Plus, Samsung Galaxy S7) Nokia 8.3
OS Version Android 11
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? When I look at the interaction menu the option to ask to move in is not there.
What do you expect to see? I had option to move in greyed out and then it disappeared. I expect there to be an option to move in.

Ivy Felix wanting to ask Vicki Harper to move in.

 

Level 10 (Unconditional Lovers) The Fixer-Upper relationship.

There is only the three Event options and green talking options, no proposal, marriage or move in options.

  • Thank you for all your help.

    It is a Sim I had made over, so I guess that stops the hair turning grey? 

    It was because she is an elder, everything else is right.

    To move in an NPC one of your playable Sims have to marry the NPC.
    It will move in automatically as NPC so you can promote it to playable Sim. The marriage option should be available from level 4 of any relationship story as long as the NPC is still a young adult. Senior NPCs can't marry.

    The move in option is only for playable Sims. It is available at level 8 of any relationship story.
    You will need to have an empty playable Sim slot for this purpose and the owner of that Sim must accept your request. Marriage is not necessary.
  • Thanks! 

    The two Sims (mine & NPC) are both female.

    Is that why they don't have a marriage option?

    Seems rather old-fashioned...

    @chris19802010 Marriage is possible for two Sims of the same gender, so that is not the problem.
    If the NPC is still young, you should find the Propose event amongst the romantic options.

    @chris19802010 Senior NPCs have a hunched back. 

    Have you given the NPC a makeover? 

    Another question, is your playable Sim single or divorced? Sims can be engaged to multiple partners but only married to one Sim at a time.

    @chris19802010 You're welcome. You can try with another NPC. Just remember next time to complete the proposal event at level 4 and then make them marry ASAP.
    NPCs tend to age up very quickly, unfortunately.
