Do you let your sims woohoo before marriage?

[hersheybar22]

Some of my sims I will, and if I let them try for baby, then when the first bump happens is when they get married because they're usually engaged. With my family sims, though, I try not to let them woohoo before marriage because I believe that they would want to be pure before they get married. My family sims usually woohoo right after the wedding party is over and I let them try for baby too. What about you?

Personally I don't believe in "no woohoo before marriage" whether its in my game or true to life. Sometimes my sims have had their first woohoo after marriage though cause I sometimes forget to have them woohoo or just rush them into marriage lol I usually have my newlyweds woohoo in the hot tub during the party cause it always makes it an amazing party haha rude sims

I almost always have them woohoo before marriage.

It depends on the Sims and their wants. If they go one a date and roll the wants, and I know they are going to be married, I allow it. Romance Sims... well, you usually have to or they shrivel up and die, or something...

[Laura]

Yup, my Sims don't hang around in that regard. Woohoo usually induces love which paves the way for marriage. Very rarely do my Sims wait until there's a ring on their finger.

I don't really keep track. I really only have Sims woohoo to have kids, so... I guess it's after marriage.
Or, if my Sims are on dates, and they like the other Sim enough that they can, I'll do that to get the date up to "dream" level.

I think there might be a mix in my game. There's a few sims in there which I've probably forced to hold out, but ultimately I very rarely marry my sims. I also do it to score high on dates!

I guess it depends on personal beliefs and whether you want to uphold certain traditions (as well as the sims wants). I used to be very rigid with my sims and they lived quite 'proper' lives; yet even then, that wasn't how I thought real life relationships should work - it was just a fun way to experiment. I'm sort of a huge commitment phobe though. The very idea of marriage would have me clawing the walls looking for an exit.

As what most people said, I usually only make my sims WooHoo until they actually have a want pop up for it. If there is not want, then I'll just wait until their married. I usually always make sure that the couple ends up married though in the end, so it's like I only let them WooHoo if I know that they're going to be with that one Sim (unless they're a Romance sim, which is a TOTALLY different story *rolls eyes)

[betharies2]

Sometimes I do let them before and sometimes after. It just depends on the story I have in my head for them and sometimes it depends on their own wants.

[LadyofShalott]

Like everyone else, I usually don't wait until their married, for one reason or another. I can't really remember ever having a couple that I purposely had wait... *shrug*

I guess it has to do with the values you were raised with, but to me it's just a game. I was always raised to wait until marriage, but, like I said, I don't do that with my sims. If they want to, I'll make them happy. Plus it can sometimes make things a little more interesting.

[bgh13]

It depends on the family really, If it's a 'perfect family' challenge, then they won't, but If I'm playing normally or a baby challenge or something, I'll woohoo them or just use BoolProp.

[coocoosim]

*BUMP* (tehehe, sorry- but this is such an interesting thread)

Personally, my sims do WooHoo before marriage- however normally only once. I tend to do it as sort of a relationship building 'exercise'. I mean, people do it in real life and personally wasn't raised with "No 'woohoo' before marriage" values

This is an interesting thread.

Personally, I don't mind letting them. I have ACR installed, and its automacy settings on "high", and quite often it's hard to stop two sims from following their desires.

[Samantha]

It's hard to keep Sims from not doing it when you have ACR installed (as legrande said). However, for me, it usually depends on their LTW. Romance Sims? Have at it. Family Sims? Eh. They can wait until marriage (or until my back is turned and I don't cancel out the ACR command in time).

[Lonniecat]

It depends on the sim to be honest.
Some sims go on dates and roll the wants to woohoo in the car or closet or whatever, and I'll let them. Doesn't matter if they're going to marry each other or not. It's sort of like real life in that respect.
College sims - depending on the personality I usually have them woohoo (or try to woohoo) as many sims as possible. Like real life: get it out of their system. Haha. Maybe if they're knowledge sims or whatnot I don't really have them woohoo at all. Usually in college I have my sims get engaged and stick to one sim and all that though...
Once they're married I only allow them to woohoo to produce offspring though.
