My sims can't get relationships

[maudlovesjb]

Everytime if I want to have like a boyfriend or girlfriend for my Sims, I start flirting and stuff and after the first kiss they are in the next stadium of the relationship. But normally there would be one more kiss and then you could ask to be you boyfriend. But my Sims did have sex and a baby and they still can't even ask for a relationship. So now they will be forever alone.

Can someone help me with this please?

Was either of the Sims in a prior relationship ? Sometimes the game doesn't properly clean up those and then you can't be in one anymore.

There's several things you can try like moving them out and back in via edit town or make sure that the prior relationship is ended properly.

Okay thanks, i'll try that

The man already moved out... And the other couple didn't live together

But was either Sims in a steady relationship with another sim before ?

@maudlovesjb to have a new relationship you have to find your ex-boyfriend/girlfriend and talk to them as friends until the option shows up to just be friends and once this option shows up and you click it you can then have another relationship
