To get your NPC Sim to propose, you need to understand that they can only propose to other NPCs, as the player has control over their playable Sims. However, you can influence the situation by building a romantic relationship between your playable Sim and the NPC, then using flirty and romantic interactions to encourage the NPC to propose to another NPC.
Understanding NPC Proposals
NPC Proposal Limitations
NPCs in The Sims 4 have limitations when it comes to proposing. They can only propose to other NPCs, not to playable Sims. This means that if you want your playable Sim to get engaged or married, you need to initiate the proposal yourself.
Building a Romantic Relationship
To encourage your NPC to propose, you need to build a romantic relationship between your playable Sim and the NPC. This can be done by using flirty and romantic interactions, such as woohooing or kissing. You can also try to build a strong friendship between the two Sims, which can eventually lead to a romantic relationship.
Influencing NPC Behavior
You can influence NPC behavior by using certain traits or items. For example, if your NPC has the flirty trait, they are more likely to propose to another NPC. You can also use items like the Romance Channel on TV to encourage romantic behavior.
