Re: Asking Sims to Move in

@quasha26 

There is no Move in option for NPCs. That is only for playable Sims that belong to other players.

Your playable Sim will have to marry Mason if you want him to move in to your household. This is what you need to do:

  1. Click on Flirty options.
  2. Complete the proposal event.
  3. After the engagement click on Here comes the wedding
  4. Mason will automatically move into your household right after the wedding. You will find him in the family portrait still as a NPC. Then you will be able to promote him to playable Sim when you have an empty Sim slot.

    So I invited a Sim to move in; nothing so I looked her up and her owner hasn't played for 73 days so she'll not be coming I think.

    So I invited another whose owner is active. She's been on twice but no move in.yet. So, questions. +

    If a request to move in is rejected will I get a message or be left in limbo?

    If I go ahead and promote someone else into my playable slot and sometime later my move in request is accepted what happens?

    Do I get that move in but into a non playable slot or does the Sims owner get to keep her after accepting the move in request?

    Hi!

    1. If a request to move in is rejected will I get a message or be left in limbo?
    I'm almost sure you'll get a message telling your request has been denied and you won't be able to request the same Sim to move in. Notice that move-in request expires around 5 days after the other player has received it. 

    2. If I go ahead and promote someone else into my playable slot and sometime later my move in request is accepted what happens?

    The Sim you have requested will leave their household as soon as the request is accepted. The other player will receive a retirement heirloom box and that Sim will appear as retired for them.
    You'll get a message in your Inbox that says something like "Who is the new Sim in town?" when the other player accepts your request. This is a bit risky because you will have to retire a Sim in order to empty a playable Sim slot, and only then you should tap on the green button of this message. 

    To be honest, it is better to ask a player you know to move in their Sims. I have seen many requests are denied.

    OK, the request expires.

    That's really the important part.

    As long as I don't fill my empty slot for 5 days

    I don't run a risk of something unexpected

    happening. 

    Your note got cut off. I don't know where you were

    headed at the end but I have the important point so thanks!  🙂

    @tomb202 I have now edited the last sentence of my previous post.

    It's five days from the moment the other player opens the game after you've sent your request. As I understand, the request won't expire if the other player is not active.
