How to move in an NPC?

Yeah, it's 8 currently. I vaguely remember hearing it was 8 for proposal and 9 to just move in for some reason. I'll keep leveling.

Edit: Level 9 and still no option to move in so far.

I'm in the same boat. Only one sim in the house, relationship level 10, no option to ask to move in. My poor sim is going to end up a spinster, lol.

So, it seems like there is no way to move in an NPC sim that isn't a romantic partner currently (I hope that changes), so I had one of my sims marry him (Marshall Sun), it then gave me the option to make him playable (which I did) then I guess they will divorce. Weird I have to go that route but I just really wanted to use him as a playable sim. *shrugs*

Figured out how to move sims into household today. Have a Lvl 8+ relationship>open extra slot with sim cash> tap on family portrait> add or create new sim

@TTKINCORPORATED Is his hair grey? You might not be able to move him in if he is retired but I'll ask @rosemow. She may know

has your sim proposed? I'm at level 6 with an NPC. My sim proposed . I can do the wedding, I just don't have an empty slot at the moment.

I mentioned that some people have a bug. I also suggested you post over in the origin forum in the bug section for sims mobile. You will get better help there if you do have a bug.

As phoebebebe13 posted, if a sim has grey hair, you may not be able to move them in.

Hello
The sim may be married in another simmer’s game, which would prevent him from moving in or marrying your sim.

@rosemow if it is an NPC they should be able to add the sim. There are bugs on this issue with NPC in the origin forum. I was also advised even if a sim is married in one player's game, the sim can also marry in another players game. I would love for EA to clarify this issue. If the sim is owned by another player it would have a plumbob over it's head. If you make an NPC playable they should get a plumbob over heir head when they are added to a game as playable

I think that there may have been changes made from when the game was first released world wide. At the start of the world wide release , it was posted on the EA forums that married NPC sims that belong to another simmer couldn’t marry another simmer’s sim, but it sounds like this has now been changed. It may have been fixed in a recent patch.

If a simmer has their sim marry an NPC and move them in, that sim should now gain a plumbob , Just like the PC game. You move an NPC in, the sim becomes playable. Why would a player marry an NPC and not move them in? I have my sim engaged to an NPC, I have no slots to move him in.I wont do the marriage unless I can move him in. If an NPC is taken they should give him/her a plumbob . Thats crazy if an NPC can get married but not move in, there is no way for other players to know if that NPC is already married. This again just causes more game issues with relationships. If they have no way to fix this, they should keep romantic relationships to player made owned sims only. Let NPC be NPC and only have friendships with other player's sims.

You usually have to reach a relationship requirement. It’s usually relationship level 8 between your character and the npc. To do this just socialize with them until they reach the level.

Asking other sim to move in requires a playable sim slot. You don't have enough playable sim spots then.
To make room, either buy a new slot with SimBucks or retire a sim.
