Hello. One of my sims is in a good relationship with an NPC sim (level 9) and I plan to move that sim in. However, reading some of the earlier posts made me doubt with all these problems that could be encountered, and I’m not sure if I understood correctly.
1. If the relationship reaches level 10 and the story ends, will the NPC sim eventually age up at one point? If they age up, they will not be able to move in. Do you strongly recommend moving that NPC sim in before the relationship reaches lvl 10?
2. I plan to have these both sims married. I have an empty slot ready for the NPC sim to become one of my active sims. If the first sim retired or divorced with the new sim, will that new sim disappear as well?

If you promote the NPC while the husband/wife is still playable, you can make them divorce and both will still be playable.
3. Same question if the first sim retired while still being married to the new active sim?

Not sure the NPC will age up when the story reaches level 10 but there is something I would like to make clear.
NPCs move in to a household only if they marry one of your playable Sims. The NPC will move in and take it’s place in the family as NPC. Then, you will be able to promote it to playable Sim.
Another thing, you don’t need to wait until the relationship reaches level 10 to make them marry. The proposal option appears at level 4 of a relationship, so you can do this event and then the marriage event. As soon they are married you will find the NPC in your family portrait as NPC.

If the couple divorce while both Sims are playable, they will still be young and playable Sims.
If the couple divorce while one Sim is playable and the other is passive, the passive Sim will leave the household and eventually age up. The playable Sim will still be young and playable.
If you retire one Sim while both are playable, only the one you retire will age up.
If you retire an active Sim while the husband or wife is passive, both Sims will age up.

@SalixCatTo sum up with the correct terms,
Marrying a playable Sim to an NPC will bring the NPC in the household as a passive Sim.
Promoting a passive Sim lets the Sim become playable.
These two statements should be correct, unless "passive" and "NPC (when moved in)" are two different terms, and/or unless "active" and "playable" are two different terms?

How did you get 6 non-playable sims in your household? I have 2 playable and 2 non-playable, and if one of my playable tries to ask anyone else to move in it says there isn't room in the household.

@A_d1600 Hi, if the sim you’re trying to move in has a blue plumbob over their head it’s another player’s sim. In order to have that sim move in, you should have a slot open for a playable active sim.
As a side note if it was another player’s sim: Moving in another player’s sim goes as a request to the other player to adopt their sim. Some players don’t want to let go their sims to another player since it means that the sim in their game is then retired.
edit. Typos and missing words

Hi! I have the same problem as them. my sim is married to a NPC and their a level 8 in there relationship. It gave me a button that says “ask to move in” right after they got married. so then I pressed it. Sadly it said “no more room in the household” so then I thought it was bc of my sim’s roommate (which is my other playable sim) so then I moved that sim out to a different plot. And they no longer lived with me. But when I went back to the NPC sim it still said “no more room in the household” so I made another room bc I thought it was bc of my baby room (my sim and the NPC sim have a baby together) so I finished the room and it still said “no more room in the household”. If this does sound similar and IS to what they commented. How do I send a request to the player’s character so that they could move in with me? I don’t want to play their character I just want there character to be there for there child bc I went a long way for level 8 and I don’t want to restart can you please help me?
btw another question. my sim and the NPC sim have a child together but I cannot play the child is it bc she’s a newborn? (She lives with me though btw)
