Sims can also get married by having a [[#Throwing a wedding party|wedding party]]. A wedding party is basically like a normal party, except that the Sims are expected to get married before the party ends. The wedding arch may or may not be used. Other differences between normal parties and wedding parties are that every guest will be in their formal clothes, and any invited guests will show up, even if they have a low relationship with the inviting Sim.

In ''The Sims 4'', marriage functions similarly to ''The Sims 3''. Sims must first go steady with a romantic interest before they are able to propose (by selecting the "Ask to Become Girlfiend/Boyfriend" interaction), and they must also have high friendly and romantic relationships. [[Noncommittal]] Sims are more likely to reject a proposal than other Sims, even if the couple in question has a high relationship.
After Sims are engaged, they can either elope or plan a wedding. Family members' surnames are not changed after a wedding, but the player is free to change names by editing Sims in Create a Sim. If a newly wed couple doesn't already live in the same household, the household management UI will appear and prompt the player to move Sims and funds between households as they see fit. Otherwise, there will simply be a notification letting the player know they can move Sims between households.
If a Sim marries someone who is performing an NPC role, such as the [[Grim Reaper]], the spouse will give up their role and another NPC will take their place. There is no known way to get a spouse back into their former role, even if they are divorced.
There is also no distinction made between opposite-sex and same-sex marriage. They provide the same amount of satisfaction points, have the same related moodlets, and fulfill the same whims.
==Life states==
In ''The Sims 3'', Sims can marry every [[life state]] available. However, some of the life states will not be available for marriage unless the player takes some necessary steps.
Line 63 ⟶ 72:
* [[Plumbot]]{{vgversion|TS3:ITF}}: For a Plumbot to be available for marriage, the "Capacity to Love" [[trait chip]] must be installed.
In ''The Sims 4'', a Sim of any life state can be married with no workarounds required, provided they are [[young adult]]s or older.

In ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims 3'', a wedding party can be held by selecting "Throw Wedding Party" on the phone. This is basically like a normal [[party]], except that the Sims are expected to get married. The [[wedding arch]] {{Vgversion|TS2}}{{Vgversion|TS3G}} may or may not be used. In ''The Sims 4'', a wedding can be held by selecting "Plan a Social Event" on a Sim's phone and then selecting the "Wedding" option, by clicking on a wedding arch and planning a wedding from there, or by scheduling an event in a household's [[calendar]]{{vgversion|TS4S}}. A household cannot plan a wedding party unless someone in it is engaged.
There is a limited number of Sims who can be invited to a wedding party. In ''The Sims 2'', players don't need to invite the bride or the groom to the party if they don't live together, because they will automatically come by themselves. Invited Sims will arrive in Formal wear. When the marriage takes place, both Sims switch into wedding attire (
In ''The Sims 4'', Sims can invite a minimum of two guests (excluding the Sims who are getting married) up to a maximum of fifteen guests. They can also optionally hire a [[caterer]], a musician and a [[mixologist]]. Each service costs §250. Musicians will entertain the guests, mixologists will serve them drinks, and caterers will prepare food for them and bake a wedding cake. Brides are automatically changed into wedding dresses and grooms are changed into tuxedos, but the player is free to change them into other outfits before the ceremony starts. Guests will wear formal outfits.

A wedding party is scored like a normal party. How well it scores depends on how much the guests are enjoying the party. If players can keep all the guests happy until the end of the party, it will become a great wedding party, and the married Sims will get a good [[memory]] about it.{{Vgversion|TS2}} Otherwise, players can have a horrible wedding party if the guests are not enjoying it, or if the marriage is unsuccessful. If the player wants a wedding party to end well, it is in their best interest to invest in party objects, such as a [[stereo]] and [[buffet table]], and ensure that everyone is in a good mood.

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]]'' ? -->.
Line 88 ⟶ 101:
In ''The Sims 3: Generations'', if a Sim catches their spouse cheating (doing anything under the Romantic category with another Sim), their relationship will go down and it will take at least five days for the Sim to make the negative moodlet disappear. If the cheating is constant, the Sim can sometimes involuntarily (as the player cannot cancel the action) divorce the cheater on the spot.
In ''The Sims 4'', there is a "divorce" option under the "mean" option for a married Sim to
===Avoiding
To avoid divorce, it's necessary to wait for their [[fury]] with each other to subside or, in ''[[The Sims 2: Apartment Life]]'', have them perform the interaction called "[[Life skills#Couple Counseling|Repair Relationship With...]]" which will have the two Sims attempt to deal with their marital problems. In ''The Sims 3'', if one's [[charisma]] is high enough, the Sim can use the smooth recovery interaction to try to repair the relationship.
