Aside from the wedding itself, a proposal is the biggest occasion for any couple.
It may end well, or maybe not. Either way, the one popping the question definitely will want to do things right – and that includes making sure the environment and atmosphere are perfect.
Proposals are almost as big of a deal in The Sims as they are in real life.
Unless you want to force the romance through some cheats, whether or not your Sim’s special someone says “yes” can determine the whole future of your game.
A bad reaction really throws a wrench in Legacy plans, that’s for sure.
But if everything goes right, you’ll really be glad you put the time in to set the scene. It’s a special time in your Sim’s life!
Sometimes proposals are sneaky, and it’s not done until a date is drawing to a close.
Other times, people will just go straight for it with grand gestures.
And that’s pretty much what we have here.
A giant light with “Marry Me” in all caps basically says it all, right?
For some, cutting the chase is just how they roll.
That doesn’t mean the moment has to be any less spectacular. This will look really sweet incorporated into a little spot outdoors, so your Sims can profess their love to the whole world.
The newly betrothed couple will always be able to remember what a unique setup they had for their proposal, and so will you.
If you play The Sims anything like I do, then you probably like to draw out the night of the proposal a little bit.
Sure, if it’s two Sims who met the day before, then a quick proposal in their living room will suffice.
But for those Sims who you have been focusing on for a while, gradually and painstaking building up their romance meter, it’s nice to have something more intimate.
This set has everything needed to create an incredibly romantic space for your Sims to spend their last moments before they’re engaged. Even just with tables and chairs, you’ll have plenty of options.
There are two table sizes, both of which are covered in a nice white tablecloth.
One seats four Sims and the other one seats six, so it’s totally up to you whether you want the proposal to be a public affair or a one-on-one deal.
The chairs can match the table with either the white swatch, the cushions, or bows on the back.
But what good is a romantic table and chairs if you don’t have much to go with it, right?
No worries!
There’s plenty here in terms of decorations, including candles with roses, a rose petal mat, decorative roses, and flatware.
Even the pergola, with its greenery and pink little flowers, adds a nice lovey-dovey touch.
Here we have a CC set dedicated to the four most important words in a Sim’s life:
Will you marry me?
Actually, I think it probably goes something more like “floopy shoo sna gibar?” in this game, but Simlish will never appeal to human ears.
Everything in this set is honestly so adorable that if you don’t already have a couple in mind you’d like to get engaged soon, you’ll have to make one.
I can’t continue any longer without pointing out the heart-shaped personal pizza…wow.
That’s next-level stuff.
Who could say no after being presented with that?!
Something extra noteworthy here is that there is even a decorative ring and box. I had actually never thought of looking for one of those before, and now I’m kicking myself.
That is definitely how you separate a regular date and something more.
There are several heart-themed decorative items here as well, including a tea kettle, a bundle of sticks, cupcakes, and a box. Plus that glorious pizza.
If you plan to send your Sims on a date for the proposal (as so many people do), you’ll need all the CC you can get to make the space less empty.
Most of the stuff we have in the game just isn’t geared towards that sort of thing. And if it is, then you’ve probably already used it dozens of times.
Do you know what we don’t have?
Alcohol. Liquid courage.
The stuff that’s at the center of thousands of dates every day, for better or worse.
Yeah, Sims have juice, which is pretty much the same thing.
But even if you buy a bar and hire a mixologist, there’s no guarantee your Sim will ever actually see the drink they ordered.
Champagne has a bit of reputation for being romantic, so what’s better than leaving a bottle of it right on the table while your Sim proposes?
These bottles have very realistic detailing.
They’re based on real-life champagne, and a rather pricey one at that. There’s no better way for your Sims to declare their love and celebrate their futures together than with champagne, as millions of people do.
