Weddings are just one of many social events that take place in The Sims 4 and can really help with the realism factor of your sim’s lives. A wedding in the sim’s 4 is essentially just a party that has a main objective to get married! It can be the most beautiful day in your sim’s lives.
They could raise the sims limit from 2 to 8 that way we could do family photos and allow us to takes photos of adults, kids, and toddlers together. Also add the function to take pictures of toddlers. Also make it so that if you have the photography station on a lot you can hire a photographer to man it. Freelance Fashion Photography Career. Finally, our Sims can work as photographers! The freelancer career option is relatively new in The Sims 4 but it originally only gave three options: digital artist, writer or programmer. Now, fashion photographer has been added to the list of choices. A simple and basic home photography studio can easily fit into a 4×4 room and still leave you with space to easily move the lighting around into different positions. However, if you want to create something a bit more extravagant and fabulous then you might be thinking about having a large home studio or even creating a stand-alone photo.
How to Get Engaged
If your plan is to have a wedding, it’s pretty obvious that first you must be engaged! Now, you can’t just walk up to any sim off the street and get them to accept your proposal because they don’t know you and don’t have an established relationship with your sim.
Before you can get engaged to another sim, you must become their boyfriend/girlfriend which doesn’t come up until you’ve built up a bit of a relationship (both friendship and romance).
Once your sims are in a relationship, the option to propose should now appear under the romance menu but you shouldn’t go straight in for a proposal unless your sim’s have a really great relationship. The game won’t even let you propose unless you have a decently high friendship between the two sims.
It’s always a good idea to build up both the romantic and friendship bars before taking the time to propose to a sim. Once the relationship bar is high enough it’s time to propose. You’ll get to see your sim get down on one knee and see the pure joy on the sim’s faces!
How to Elope
Before we get into all of the information about actually throwing a wedding, it’s important to note that you have the option to elope and skip all the fancy wedding stuff.
You have two options to elope, you can either click “Elope Immediately” in the social interactions menu in the romantic section or you can buy a wedding arch to place on your lot and click on it to get married to your fiancé. Your couple will immediately be married!
This is a great option if you don’t feel like dealing with all the other sims that come to the wedding, or if you sim doesn’t have a ton of friends.
Planning The Wedding
The process of planning a wedding is quite simple and you must choose your guests (a maximum of 15) and you have the option to hire a mixologists, a caterer, and an entertainer. To get your wedding event planning started you click on “Plan a Social Event” on the phone, or you can click the same thing when you click on your fiancé.
A wedding costs $1,000 right from the start so you may need to plan ahead to be able to afford it, and hiring other roles will cost you even more money. You should note that a wedding will begin the second that you finish selecting your guests and secondary roles so make sure that your sims are in great moods before you click to plan a social event.
Necessary Wedding Objects
The main thing you need to have a wedding in the sims 4 is a wedding arch where the ceremony will be performed but there are other things that will make the event more fun for your guests and for the couple.
You can have a wedding cake that is cooked before you start the event, or you can hire a caterer who will cook food and a wedding cake for you. You should also place some chairs around where the wedding arch is so that your wedding guests are able to watch.
You can also have a bar so your guests can enjoy drinks and hire a mixologist so you don’t need to make the drinks yourself. You can also have a guitar, piano, or violin so you can hire an entertainer for your guests to enjoy.
Wedding Objectives
As with all parties in the sims 4, weddings have specific objectives for you to meet and a ton of social interactions for you to complete. The most important one that is worth the highest amount of points to get you rewards is:
- Get Married! All you need to do for this one is to click on a wedding arch and get the two engaged sims to participate in the ceremony!
Here are the ones you’ll see in a sims 4 wedding that are worth less points, but are still awesome:
- Take First Slice: Click on the wedding cake and get one of the newlyweds to grab a slice of cake.
- Have Guests Watch the Ceremony: This is easily done if you use the wedding arch to get married as everyone will gather around to watch.
- Have Drinks: You must have your sims and guests have at least 3 drinks throughout the wedding event, which is done easiest by hiring a mixologist.
- Talk to Guests for Two Hours: You just need to talk to the people who have come to your wedding, which is what a good host would do anyway!
- Thank a Guest for Coming: All you need to do is click on a sim and you’ll see “thank for coming” pop up and you’ll get this one complete.
- Eat Food: Every good wedding has food, get your sims and your guests to eat at least 4 servings of food
- Have the Betrothed Kiss: The two newlyweds just need to share a smooch!
- Have The Betrothed Flirt With Each Other: Perform a few romantic interactions between the newlyweds.
Wedding Rewards
One of the best parts about having a wedding completed is that you get a reward left in your household inventory (which you can find in build mode, just in case you didn’t know)!
Bronze Medal Wedding
If you manage to get through a few of the wedding objectives and only get a bronze medal, you’ll be given a skill book to help with your charisma skill called Charisma Vol 1: Diplomacy for Dummies. I’ve always seen this as a guest’s way of telling you your wedding sucked and that you need to become more charismatic so you can throw a better party some day… Haha.
Silver Medal Wedding
When you complete more of the wedding objectives to the point where you can have a silver wedding, you’ll get better rewards than bronze! You’ll see two rewards in your household inventory, both the Wedding Pillar with Floral Basket and the In Full Bloom Centerpiece.
Gold Medal Wedding
Well, if you get a gold wedding your guests had a GREAT time and you’ll find a number of gifts from them in your household inventory. You’ll get the Royal Crabtree Tea Set, the Tea Magic Personal Brewer, and the Food Annihilator and you’ll also be given both of the silver rewards.
