No Honeymoon, but why??

Post by JohnL83 » April 24th, 2019, 12:24 pm

I am fairly sure this has been discussed, but I found nothing searching the website, though I found other honeymoon references, obviously. Anyway, I have had this occur a few times in games and sometimes it's an obvious reason, like each sim's home is full and the individuals do not have the funds to move together. (Though I don't really get this idea since very often, in my games at least, most sims have plenty of household funds individually.) Anyway, I am wondering what are the guidelines for not moving sims in together otherwise?? In my current instance a couple who had been dating a while were auto-married by SP. I then got the message that there was no honeymoon for this couple. Yet both of them lived in large homes with plenty of double beds and room to spare. Sim A was in a home with 4 bedrooms, and only mom and dad and one sister lived there. Every room had a double bed and even a crib. Sim B lived in a huge mansion with 5 bedrooms and only 3 other sims living there. I don't get why the game wouldn't just move one of them into the family home? Also, both family have more than enough funds each to move into at least a one bedroom home in town. I have many empty homes in SV ranging in price from 18K to 150K so I don't see why they couldn't move either into the family home or one of the empty ones.

Anyway, this happens a lot for me and generally I just head over to Edit Town and merge a them into one or the others home and sometimes leave them, or depending on how I feel I may them move that couple out and into an empty home. Still, I would like SP to be doing some of this for me and I'm wondering what could be wrong or if there's a setting I need to adjust?

Under SP/Town Options are two settings, Household: Allow Move: As Family and Household: Allow Move: Solo. By default the first one is set to true, the second one to false. With these settings SP can only move the whole households, not just one sim from one household to another or a part of the family to another lot. Changing the second setting to true should solve your problem (although the mod will still make strange decisions from time to time).

Oh yes! Thank you so much. Duh!

I can't believe I forgot about those settings. (city wide) I've been dealing with so many mods and using a few new ones (new to me) I just spaced that off. I should have thought about that because I do change that SP setting individually by lot! In particular when there's an evil or mean sim in the house and I don't want the family split up, which SP will often do. I literally didn't think about the setting for the town since I've been micro managing my sims so much more lately. The ones I was posting about are not in my "inner circle".

geez! I've seriously been home way too long my brain is fried! The Dr. wouldn't let me return to work yet, :cry: I'm home until after May 6th! Been off work since my surgery in March! Me and the stir crazy moodlet are one in the same lately! I'm so ready to get back to work and out of the house!

I have mine set to allow move: solo. But even so, and even when one of the inactive sims getting married with SP actually lives alone in his own home, I occasionally get the 'no honeymoon' notification, and also the 'nowhere to move' notification. I think it is just sims being difficult. So I do what you did, and use 'edit town' to merge them.

I have allow move family and allow move solo both set to true and it doesn't always move my married couples in with each other either.

But it will allow teens to move out on their own! Go figure. Even when I disallow teens to move it still lets them. Then in edit town you have to move one of their parents out and go retrieve them as it won't let you move just a teen----even though it moved them out. I think I have something set wrong as well.

And I have had it move entire families of 4 or more out of a house with enough beds and funds into a one bedroom place. Sometimes I move them back via edit town, sometimes I just throw up my hands and give up on them!!!

I have the solo move set to false for teens in castes and so far it works for me. Other problems can be related to the settings for house inspection. While the check for beds and cribs should prevent families from moving into one bedroom houses, the check for work related skill items can let them refuse otherwise perfect houses.

DeeDee - I never have had teens move unless they get moved into a "safer" home. The only occasions where my teens or children have been moved is when the kid lives with an evil or mean spirited parent and the relationship deteriorates. But it's never moved them out on otherwise. Generally they end up with other family members (if there are any outside the home) or end up living with some other adult/elder. So yeah, I'm thinking you have something else going on there.

Oddly enough I did have one sim I created and then ended up rarely playing. He was Mean Spirited, Evil, Inappropriate, Rebel and just to be funny, an Animal Lover. All on his own: He ended up marrying a police officer of all things and had triplets! 2 girls and a boy. All of them followed after mom with all good traits except one with a grumpy trait. That family stayed so close they went everywhere together. When I would check in they all still had relationships over 65%! LOL I almost never caught him being mean to his family, other than scaring them now and then. But he was an a-hole to everyone else. It was really funny and I continued to just observe them to see what the game would do. The kids all grew up and none of them moved out until they hooked up with someone. I still got messages about them that dad would visit often. (the kids were friends with my other sims) It was really kinda sweet. Guess he had his own morality when it came to family because nearly every other sim I've seen with evil or MS traits end up having the family dislike them very much and many often move as soon as they are able.

I did disable solo move for teens because every time I started a new Sunset Valley, Holly Alto moved out asap and was living on her own. So if there's enough money and a suitable house, teens will live alone with the setting enabled.
