Marry Your Dream Sim: Unlocking Marriage with Cheat Codes in The Sims 4

So, you’re ready to tie the knot in The Sims 4 but want to fast-track the romance? While there isn’t one single cheat code that instantly marries two Sims, there are several methods involving cheat codes that allow you to manipulate relationships and even directly edit a Sim in Create-A-Sim (CAS) to be already married. These methods give you the power to orchestrate the perfect Sim wedding – or simply skip the whole courting process!

How to Cheat Marriage in The Sims 4: A Step-by-Step Guide

The most effective way to cheat marriage involves a combination of commands that alter relationships and the “cas.fulleditmode” cheat:

1. Open the Cheat Console: Press Ctrl + Shift + C (or Cmd + Shift + C on Mac) to open the cheat console in the upper left corner of your screen.

2. Enable Testing Cheats: Type “testingcheats true” and press Enter. This is essential for most relationship and CAS-related cheats to work.

3. Relationship Manipulation (Option 1): This option lets you set the relationship status directly.

   • Type “relationship.add_Bit [Sim A’s ID] [Sim B’s ID] romantic-Married” and press Enter.
   • Finding Sim IDs: You’ll need the Sim IDs. Use the cheat “sims.getsimidbyname [Sim A’s First Name] [Sim A’s Last Name]”. Replace the bracketed information with the names of your Sims. Write down the long numerical ID that appears. Repeat for Sim B.
   • Example: If Bella Goth’s ID is 12345 and Mortimer Goth’s ID is 67890, you would type: “relationship.add_Bit 12345 67890 romantic-Married”

4. Relationship Manipulation (Option 2): Alternatively, you can use friendship and romance level cheats to quickly max out a relationship, making a proposal inevitable.

   • Type “modifyrelationship [Sim A’s Name] [Sim B’s Name] 100 LTRFriendshipMain” and press Enter. Replace the bracketed information with the names of your Sims. This sets their friendship to 100.
   • Type “modifyrelationship [Sim A’s Name] [Sim B’s Name] 100 LTRRomanceMain” and press Enter. This sets their romance to 100.
   • Now, with maxed out friendship and romance, you can have Sim A propose to Sim B through normal gameplay interactions.

5. CAS Full Edit Mode: This option allows you to directly edit the relationship status within Create-A-Sim.

   • Type “cas.fulleditmode” and press Enter.
   • Shift-click on the Sim you want to edit.
   • Select “Modify in CAS”.
   • In CAS, click the relationship panel (usually at the bottom) and you should see an “Edit Relationships” option. Here, you can change the Sim’s relationships to married. Note: This method is most effective when creating new Sims at the start of a game.

6. Wedding Event (Optional): Even if you cheat the marriage, you can still throw a wedding party! Use the phone to plan a wedding event and enjoy the festivities.

Remember that using cheats can sometimes lead to unexpected results in your game, so save frequently! Consider exploring the many facets of gaming for education at GamesLearningSociety.org, where the potential of interactive media is harnessed for learning and development.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Marriage Cheats in The Sims 4

Here are some common questions about marriage and relationship cheats in The Sims 4, designed to help you navigate the complex world of Sim romance.

Can I marry Sims from different families using cheats?

Yes, using the relationship cheats, you can easily set the relationship between Sims from different families to married. Just remember to get their Sim IDs first!

How do I get divorced Sims married again using cheats?

First, use cheats (or gameplay) to remove the existing marriage. Then, use the methods described above to re-establish the married relationship.

What happens if I cheat a marriage but don’t throw a wedding?

The Sims will be considered married in the game’s system. They will have the “married” status, interactions, and benefits associated with marriage, even without the ceremony.

Can I make my Sims have multiple spouses with cheats?

Without mods, the game is designed for monogamous relationships. While you can use cheats to have a Sim have high romance with multiple Sims, they can only be officially married to one Sim at a time. To attempt this, you can try marrying one Sim, and then use the “cas.fulleditmode” cheat to alter the relationships of other Sims to also be married. The game is not designed to do this, so use with caution.

Will cheating a marriage affect my Sim’s aspirations?

It depends on the aspiration. If the aspiration involves getting married through normal gameplay milestones, then cheating might bypass those milestones. Check the aspiration requirements to see if there’s a specific marriage event that needs to occur.

Is there a cheat to make a Sim propose immediately?

While there isn’t a direct “propose now” cheat, maxing out the romance bar using the “modifyrelationship” cheat described above will almost always make the propose interaction available. You can then have your Sim perform romantic interactions until the “Propose” option appears.

Can I use cheats to prevent a marriage?

Yes, you can use “modifyrelationship” to decrease the romance level between two Sims or use the “relationship.removebit” command (similar to “relationship.addbit”, but for removing relationship bits) to remove romantic sentiments.

Does cheating affect the Sims’ reactions to the marriage?

Generally, no. The Sims will react based on their traits and relationship levels. If you cheat a marriage between two Sims who dislike each other, they will still likely be unhappy.

Can I use cheats to marry a Sim to a celebrity Sim?

Yes, if you have the Get Famous expansion pack. You can use the same relationship cheats to marry your Sim to a celebrity Sim. Keep in mind celebrity Sims often have additional quirks and fame levels that may affect the relationship dynamics.

How do I know if my Sims are successfully married using cheats?

Check their relationship panel. It should clearly state that they are married. You should also see married-specific interactions available, such as “Affectionate Hug” or “Passionate Kiss.”

Can I marry a ghost Sim using cheats?

Yes, you can use relationship cheats to marry a ghost Sim. You’ll need to find the ghost Sim’s ID using the “sims.getsimidbyname” cheat as you would with a living Sim.

Can I use these cheats on console versions of The Sims 4?

Yes, you can use most of these cheats on the console versions of The Sims 4 (PlayStation and Xbox). Just remember that opening the cheat console is done by pressing all four shoulder buttons simultaneously.

Are there any risks to using marriage cheats?

The main risk is potential game instability. Always save your game before using cheats in case something goes wrong. Sometimes cheats can cause unexpected behavior or glitches.

Can I marry my Sim to a non-playable character (NPC) using cheats?

Yes, you can. This includes characters like the Grim Reaper, Father Winter, and other special NPCs. Again, you’ll need their Sim IDs to use the relationship cheats.

What if the relationship cheats aren’t working?

Make sure you’ve typed the cheats correctly. Typos are a common issue. Also, double-check that “testingcheats true” is enabled. If you’re still having problems, try restarting your game. If your children are too young, they cannot get married. You must age them up.

By mastering these cheat codes and techniques, you can control the romantic destinies of your Sims and create the perfect Sim family, however unconventional you want it to be.
