The way sims get married :(

[rubadub26]

Does it bother anyone else the way the sims get married? I mean they don't even change into wedding attire. :rolleyes:

[Ayami-chan]

>_> it depends on how you operate their weddings. if you do a private wedding for them to change clothes for formal and then do a private wedding.

[alyria80]

Did you have a wedding party? I can't remember if they change for that cause I usually rush it and have a private ceremony.

[laurbake]

If you have a wedding party you set the dress code.
Otherwise just change them into the formal gear before they do the private thing. Just click on them to change their outfit (love this, hated changing in TS2, yknow.. walking ALL the way to a dresser)

[HCAC]

Oh, the weddings su*k big time.
My sim, Peter married Agnes Crumplebottom. It was lame.
I so miss the videos of major events.
I guess you could set up a nice party, have people over, and so on. Really this is just another bad feature removed from the Sims.
Pouts...where is the champagne bottle??

[MINIggy03]

no wedding cake, no champagne to toast, no arch and no wedding gowns...they gimped weddings. Severely.

YES!!!! i totally agree!!!
i loved the videos and i really think they should have been included in TS3
i wonder why they took them away...

I can't get my sims re-married :-|.

My sim had broken up with her husband once and now I want her to re-marry another sim. They have been best friends for ages and the only thing they do everyday is amorous hugs, compliment, flirt,... They can only kiss or make out when cuddling on sofa or bed. She even has a baby with him but the status still remains "best friends" not "love" so I cannot get them married.

Any idea??

He might be with someone else. The exact thing happened to me with a guy I had. I've heard there's a option to ask them to break up with whoever it is, but I haven't seen that yet. I never found out who the guy was though, but I checked her info, the traits and stuff, and it said she was together with someone. :cry:

[Axe Gaijin]

Weddings are what you make them to be...

With a little bit of preperation you can throw nice weddings with all the bells and whistles. ;)

I don't know...it's yet another thing that 'is difficult and time consuming' to get done in the game.

No. The guy is single (because I created him to be her neighbor and to marry her :lol: ). My problem is I cannot get their relationship any further than just "best friends" although they already have a baby together. He even flirts with other girls in front of her.

They can only...

Ask him to move in. Then you can control him and maybe move things along.

He has already lived in her house before they had the baby T_T. They talk everyday, spend a lot of time doing stuff together but they only kiss and make out on sofa / bed, and the relationship isn't going up. She can't even senerade him with her guitar. T_T. Things are okay but I don't want the baby to grow up without a proper father in the family tree haha :D.

[sheri5456]

Try spamming the romantic interactions until it says that Sim A thinks Sim B is being 'extremely irresistible' from then on you can probably find the 'go steady' option, and then propose.

[Fennec]

I honestly am happy with the weddings. I had a beautiful beach wedding during sunset. They got married in their swim wear because let's face it, they're hot. XD

[Dappybint]

Maybe a themed set will appear in the store at some point?

[danburite2]

I wish I could get my Sims to get married at Town Hall. My Sims are too busy to really do wedding parties, but some kind of "official" wedding would be cool.

I'm glad the weddings are religion-neutral, but c'mon! Let's see some more options!

*Cough*
EA store must die

Agreed.
-cries-
I bought that rose fence thing as an arch and held it in Central Park, but it took forever to make them stand in front of it and it just wasn't the same.

[Phil777]

I had two sims who actually got married in the bathroom. I suppose it is an unusual experience :s

[sumpsychochic]

I don't remember there being all the options we had in sims 2 in just the base game. I know some things were added with a stuff pack.

And I think that weddings taking time to look nice is just like in real life. You don't throw a wedding together overnight.

[happycowlover]

How dare you suggest that as a solution to the lack of wedding objects! The EA Store causes the problem, NEVER solves it.

I've yet to have a wedding, but from the sounds of things, I'm disappointed. No wedding arch or cake? Come on!

I would have liked for the cutscreens to be in TS3, but it'd get complicated with the seamless neighborhood. Could you imagine having another sim cooking something while the wedding is in place and right before the cutscreen, a fire breaks out. So you're stuck in a cutscreen while your other sim could potentially be on fire. Not cool.

Computer pauses the game.. runs the cutscene.. the gives control back after its finished.. easy fix :)

I do agree with you on the store, for sure. Some of the stuff they left out is beginning to make me believe that everything that we have come to know and love about this game, they are going to now sell us.. even things from the base sims 1 and sims 2 packages... really unsettling, for sure.

[Ravvid: Phase -0]

The modders and hackers will deliver you that, Eaxis held off on it to make a quick easy buck.
Remember who makes the game truthfully enjoyable, not the ones that deliberately gimp the game to sell it off piece by piece later.

That being said: they can have parties and you can arrange things there.

You do have a valid point. :) This game would NEVER have been that successful if it were not modded, by some of the most talented people I've ever known. I usually never have posted here, but now I'm regretting it. This site, in particular, made the sims franchise what it is today. If it is left in EA's hands it will surely die..

This site has to be the best I've ever known to keep this game alive. For that I thank all those involved.

Ehm, or they could only do cutscenes for the active family.

Nah, its not "gimped" at all... You know they are going to have a Wedding Pack that you can BUY that will supply some of that... but it may take a few EP/SPs t get all of what we want...

<sigh>

Peace?

[MissLynn22]

More than likely, weddings will get revamped in an upcoming Party expansion pack. :/ I really missed the wedding arch. It provided a nice little scene to get married under. And it was easier to click on the arch and select the "Get Married" option rather than hunting down the spouse-to-be and making them walk to a specific spot and then clicking on them and trying to find the "Get Married" option. Serious fail.

[ChaRang]

i'm glad i'm not the only one who is having a little bit of trouble with this new system. I have only gotten my sims to go steady.
