my sims will have the option to propose?

They are not teens

Did you report it?

Having this issue. My sim was part of a bad family situation so as a teen she moved in with her boyfriend's family where they got promised to one another and aged up on the same day via a birthday cake. Ever since then, they have not had the options for "ask to be boyfriend/girlfriend" or "propose". As others have mentioned, they both have the option for "ask if single" even though they've been in a relationship since teen years. Both of the Sims are part of my played household and neither of them have any of these options. It really seems like this has something to do with promising as a teen, I'll never be doing that again. For story progression purposes, I'll be using someones aforementioned workaround by marrying them in cas.fulleditmode and then staging a vow renewal as a faux wedding. This is a pretty crappy bug that I hope gets sorted out soon! I have no CC or Mods.

I understand that. Sometimes IF either one of them had been promised to another sim as a teen then it would interfere with the ability to propose with this new bug. If not you just need to make sure that all other romantic relationships have been cleared. You might also have to have them be just friends and then rebuild their romantic relationships.

You said that they were promised as teens... that is a key element of this bug. Have them become just friends and then rebuild their romantic relationship. IF there were other romantic relationships or partners at all, clear them.

So, I'm bitter. For about five days now, I've been having an issue regarding romantic relationships and proposals. I had two teens dating, and rather than aging them up with a cake, I did it through CAS. When it came time for my male sim to propose, the option never came up. Their friendship and romance meters were both maxed out. I read somewhere that this could be a mod issue, so I took ALL my mods out and tried again. Still nothing. So, leaving the mods out, I repaired my game. Still nothing. I thought the patch might fix it, but alas, nothing. I left it alone and decided to get back in game today, starting with a completely different family. Yet again, I had two teen sims begin a romantic relationship. She asked him to be her boyfriend, they exchanged promise rings, the whole shebang. I aged them both up on the same day via birthday cake and then moved them in together. On their relationship chart, it shows that they are "lovebirds", "promised", "just friends", and "just good friends", EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE BEEN DATING SINCE THEY WERE TEENS. And now, my female sim wants to ask her boyfriend to be her boyfriend. Their friendship meter is almost maxed out, and their romantic meter has been maxed out for a while. I'm on the brink of throwing away my laptop. Send help soon.

@emilymargaret16 merged your post with an existing bug post on this issue.

I'm getting this issue too.
I created a sim, within 10 mins of him being in the game, i built him up to boyfriend and moved him in with my main.
One of my sims is married to our gardener, had no problems there.
But this new guy that has moved in, we have high relationship, he is a secret agent and I can't propose because he's "my employee".
He's not. How can i dismiss someone that ISN'T employed by me?

I don't use mods or cheats or custom content. And neither are in a "romantic relationship"

The ONLY way i could solve this, was to propose the other way around.
MY thinking is, because HE is a romantic, maybe the "tradition" of it is that HE has to do the asking, not her?
But then the "dismiss employee" option isn't accurate.
I'm rambling. Sorry

See my explanation of what causes this earlier in this thread and how to workaround it if you encounter it again.
