He's not too old for me!

[StrangeTownChick]

I have a couple which I absolutely adore in my neighborhood. I've raised the boy from childhood, and the girl from toddlerhood. But that's the thing....their ages are different.
Wen Wo (the boy) is going to be aging up to adult on sim-sunday, and it is currently sim-friday. Katie still has three more days after he ages before she does, and I can't play her family for three extra days or it will screw up the rotations. So she will not age up til wednesday or thursday. So I'm wondering...will they be able to maintain their romantic relationship over three days? It is currently at 100/100 for him to her, and I haven't checked, but I figure it's about the same her to him. They're crushing, in love, and going steady. I know there are limited romantic interactions between teens and adults. Could I possibly move her in with him to at least keep up a friendship?
And I know you don't know this, which is why I've been suggested this before (because who would suggest it when they knew? You're intelligent people.), but I cannot download anything. Some major glitch happened when I reinstalled my game and anything I download will not show up in the game. So I'm going to have to work on this vanilla.

They'll lose the crush/love tags as soon as Wen Wo becomes an adult, but it'll be easy to keep them in contact via phone calls and such until it's time for Katie to age up. Then, once she's an adult, it'll just take a small nudge on your part -- or they'll autonomously flirt -- to make them a couple again.

Do you have custom content disabled? When you instal or reinstall a new EP it automatically gets set to disabled, so unless you changed it things you downloaded wouldn't show up. As for the teen-adult thing, you could probably keep them as at least friends then once they are both adults they could fall back in love. In real life you sometimes hear about people who have high school sweat hearts and break up but then meet again and fall back in love, so you could make it work plot wise too probably.

I think I'd work on the downloading issue before I played much more. It has to be soluble.

Anyway, this happens to me all the time when I send people to college. The relationship will remain high; if you send him to college he'll be rolling wants for her to get to college constantly; put them on the same lot as soon as she ages up, and they may well start flirting spontaneously before you can do anything about it. If a couple were in love in high school, you have to take specific action to direct their attentions elsewhere to keep them from gravitating together as adults. If you don't get them back together as adults, odds are good they'll continue to randomly roll wants to fall in love again even after they're happily married to other people.

The relationship won't decay much over three days even with no contact at all. Phone calls and occasional visits or joint outings should keep them at 100/100. You can move them in together if you want, and can justify their complete chastity during that time. It's not "limited" romantic contact between adults and teens in a vanilla game, it's none. She might as well be a child for all the options they'll get. But the minute they're on the same lot as adults, it'll all come back. Even if you don't flirt them right away to make them fall in love again, they'll greet and say good-bye with kisses.

THERE ARE?!

Wait, is it the vanilla game or the CC-ed game?

You could also use the elixir of life to age him down three days (or her up three days if her aspiration is in the red).

Hiya :)

My sims Jacob and Bobby were in love as teens, Bobby grew up befoe Jacob, but he didn't forget about him, he rang him up and had wants about him. Then when Jacob grew up they fell in love again in about a second, and now have a house of their own, and 5 dogs!

Yes but unless you have some kind of hacks, all interactions between teens and adults are platonic. There aren't even limited ones, they are all nixed.

OP do you have CEP installed? Also make sure you have every part of it that you need. After I reinstalled my game after a computer reformat I couldn't understand where some of my recolours had gone as I had reinstalled CEP. Turns out I had unticked something that I shouldn't have done.

Provided your reality-time is tolerable, you can let the teens age normally. they will still have 100/100 and best friend status. As two adults, it's possible they'll act on romance autonomously. Even a simple flirt you direct will re-kindle their romance very fast.

Thank you guys, and one more question: will it be possible to have Wen Wo invite Katie to move in once he is an adult with his own house?

Without mods, Katie will have to move in with an adult.

So say Katie's Mum "finds own place", takes Katie with her, goes to loading tray, then you move Mum and Katie into Wen's. At Wen's, Mum promptly moves back out.

Or Wen moves into Katie's, then they both move out together to Wen's new place.

Or you can do the grow up hack?
