Marriage: Difference between revisions

Contrary to popular belief, it is possible for marriages in the Sims' world to end in ways other than [[death]] in ''[[The Sims 2]]''<!-- and ''[[The Sims 3]]'' ? -->.

 

 

In ''The Sims 3'', the player will never see the word 'Divorce' in the game unless it is a wish during a Mid-Life Crisis, or a memory if ''The Sims 3: Generations'' is installed. However, the "Break Up" option will almost always be available. When the "divorcer" divorces the "divorcee", they will still live together, however either Sim may have a [[wish]] to move out. Their relationship may drop into the red zone, depending on how good their relationship is the moment they break up (a full relationship after the divorce will still make the relationship be in the green zone), however the divorcee will experience more emotional turmoil, and will receive a large Lifetime Happiness drop as well as a [[moodlet]] for being betrayed/broken up with. This moodlet will last for days. If the divorced couple has children, the divorce will affect them badly too. If the player wishes to avoid this, it is best if the divorcer is a normal Sim while the divorcee is someone with the "Commitment Issues" trait so that there will be no hard feelings for either, except when it comes to the children.
