ARRANGED MARRIAGES MOD | The Sims 4 | Mod Overview

hello everyone and welcome back to yet another mod review i am very excited to show you all this mod because it is something that i have been looking for for my gameplay for a very long time it is the arranged marriages mod by missouri yuki if you were wondering why i am so excited for an arranged marriages mod it is because i i feel like at this point i should just say i solely play royal gameplay on my channel or just in general i just pretty much just royal families if you're new here i do have a royal family let's play series that i will link below if you are interested in checking it out and then i also have a royal starter save that is available to download and that is what i am using to show you all this mod today but before we jump into game and i show you everything let me first go over the important information for this mod now this mod is currently available as this video is coming out it is available for early access but it will be available for the public on february 13 2022 this mod allows sims to marry without any romance being required allows neutral weddings and you can arrange in three different ways for different play styles with more options being added at a later date such as matchmakers and placing ads which i don't know what that is but we will find out in the future and please note too the creator says that the that they consider this to be mostly beta testing for a couple of reasons one is mostly just to make sure that it's working correctly for everyone and then also because ea is releasing a wedding themed game pack at some point and it may fall in the early access period which i don't believe it does i think it comes out like february 17th or something like that so the first and main focus is of course arranging marriages for other members in the active household with a member of another sims family second is arranging marriages for the currently selected sim with a member of another household and the third is a regular marriage of convenience option between your sim and another sim of choice so you can see more details about how each one functions under the arranging choices section so we're just going to go ahead and jump right into this and then we will see how it all works in game last thing really quick is the mod requirements there are none it is just base game compatible for now so that might change with the wedding game pack as i mentioned before i am using my royal starter save to show you all this mod i do stream my gameplay for this mod on my twitch channel however i am using a newly like i just downloaded this from my download post so pretty much nothing has been touched i'm like using it as like a brand new save file however only thing is i thought it would be easiest to show you all how to do the arranging marriages for the sim self i am pretending we're going back in time for the royal family of wittenberg so this is before the king and queen are married and then we will go to the other households to show you guys the other aspects of the arranged marriages mod so since we're pretending this is before the king and queen are married this is mary and she is currently living with her sister in the more city area of windenburg technically i would imagine that his parents would have been alive and and maybe done this arranged marriage said it for him but um i didn't create his parents for the safe file so i am just going to have him do it himself um there's not really much of a relationship at all with mary and edward the instructions for the mod does say that the sims must have met each other first in order to use the interactions but you don't need a high friendship to select them there's also a bit of a scoring system so it's based on several factors if the score's too low the interaction will instead fail with some minor relationship loss factors include things like mood traits skills careers reputation fame and character values and money oh my goodness that is very complex i love it okay so i mean they have a bit of a relationship we're just we're gonna see if this works okay so i didn't realize that you actually have to ask a person in the sims household that you want your sim to be in an arranged marriage with so i've teleported mary's sister here and i am going to instead ask her so go to friendly other sims and arrange marriage for self and you can do this for like the sims parent or you know older sibling or pretty much anything i think okay arrange future marriage whose hand and marriage should king edward ask for marry devlin so oh okay so they're shaking hands i guess that's like okay deal so king edward has just got engaged to marry now i do know that this will depend on the ages of the sims that you're doing this for so instead of like the arranged marriage for self if we did arrange marriage for so you can arrange marriage for for example if they had kids we'll we'll actually do this in just a little bit but it will say betrothed if they're teenagers or kids so then that way when they turn into young adults then it will switch to engaged and we're about to see that in just a moment but first let's see what this wedding looks like so plan a social event it is going to be the smallest wedding but pretend it's a giant wedding because it's a royal wedding all right so yes if you go all the way down here it says neutral wedding i want to keep on the gold event because i'm curious what the goals will be so okay we're really only going to have like one guest i'm just going to invite his sister or her sister i'm gonna buy mary's sister oh two are required okay oh the earl the earl of windenburg we'll invite him we'll pretend that the earl and the king are like real good friends so we don't need all this we're good we don't need to throw we'll pretend it's a big wedding but it's not a big wedding i just want to see the ceremony specifically and how that works let's do this this is like my favorite place in wittenberg let's go to the chalet gardens the von hans estate all right so it is neutral wedding time and we're just going to get right to it so it looks like the goals are the same as a regular wedding so talk to guests have guests watch ceremony and have drinks we're going to just go ahead and have them get married because i'm so curious what the ceremony is going to be like we're going to go to the archway back here get married to marry devlin i'm so used to playing this game with so much cc and mods it's very weird not having any in here i hope for the upcoming wedding pack that guests will actually be able to sit and watch the ceremony instead of like stepping into the picture because it is it happens a lot okay so they're having their ceremony okay so you can have a choice if you want to kiss them or not i i feel like this is actually really great um because i feel like some ceremonies like if i'm doing ceremonies from different cultures like kissing isn't a thing like they don't kiss at the actual ceremony but i don't know what this is only available for neutral wedding because even if someone's not having a neutral wedding they still sometimes they still wouldn't kiss so anyway um let's try not kissing i'm just curious how this goes so they just chat okay moving in together okay cool so that was a neutral wedding but we'll move her in then now she will become the queen of windenburg but i won't worry about the changing the name i just wanted to see the actual ceremony and what it was like but okay so we're gonna try the next section of the mod with the other families okay so now we're fast forwarding to present time when you first download this save file and for those who aren't familiar the royal family voices springs is trying to have their son be betrothed to the princess of mount komarabi and then also the royal family willow creek is trying to do the same thing but i'm just going to go ahead and do it with the oasis springs royal family the royal family voices springs is here and it looks like prince sanjay showed up in his bathing suit i'm going to change that if he wants to impress his possible future in-laws um so change outfit okay yes the prince consort he is going to knock on the door and we're gonna see how this goes and then we have the emperor and empress over here so we're going to chat we're going to have a friendly conversation ask about day i think they kind of already have a relationship like a slight friendly relationship with the emperor and empress yes okay oh so they're they're fairly good friends with them they know all right akira she is here somewhere and the thing is for also those who don't know so she has a secret boyfriend who is a commoner who her parents would never approve of but we're going to get into that in a bit maybe i should have because they're the monarchs the queen and the emperor i'm going to have her talk to him about this friendly and other sims and arranged marriage for where is akira oh okay there she is akira's right here she's probably like oh no i don't want to do this and then sanjay's here sanjay probably also doesn't want to do this but he's like more neutral about it than akira zakir is very against it okay so this menu will pop up after you say arrange marriage for so she wants to arrange a marriage for her oldest son prince sanjay and their daughter princess akira and we will see if they say yes they're like chat and discussing talking about it all right and they're shaking on it okay prince sanjay is now betrothed to princess akira and will be able to marry when both reach adulthood so they will have this that said oh where did it go they don't have that great of a relationship right now um open sim profile so it does say betrothed it's also awkward right now too i'm going to switch over to play from the mount kumaravi household i'm trying to see if they have any mood lit oh they do okay newly betrothed yes from new arranged marriage contract prince andre isn't sure how to feel about having their future spouse decided for them oh cool okay i like this i have now switched over to the royal family of mount komrabi's household because i want to try something but we are going to send everyone home we'll pretend they had their dinner they had their chat and it does look like akira has the same moodlet that sanjay had and now i'm gonna have her because okay so she does have that like slightly negative relationship with sanjay and then she does have her secret boyfriend sadao and i'm going to see apparently you can have her refuse to marry so let me see how this works okay so she can complain about arrangement interesting that is in the friendly one discuss newly arranged marriage and enthuse about arranged marriage and then she can also refuse let me first have her complain about the arrangement right so she's hugging her dad first and now she's going to complain all right there we go he's like i'm not having it i'm not listening to this um and then let's see does that have okay it does have something unhappy arrangement from unsatisfying arrangement princess akira is feeling hurt sad and disappointed her match isn't exactly what she expected at the same time princess akira feels maybe there is a part of her that is resigned to this interesting so i can also have her go friendly and what if she refuses to marry prince sanjay what will happen then all right let's see princess akira has informed emperor takio that they refuse to marry prince sanjay is he just gonna say okay is he what wait i'm very confused what just happened why was there a romantic relationship increase oh oh she's not betrothed to him anymore oh okay oh okay i just checked it does say that it so if sims are unhappy with their arrangement then they have a chance to break it off with consequences slash reactions coming at a later date okay we will have consequences or reactions to that later on that will be added it does say that all interactions are under the friendly menu but this may change also i don't think we're gonna get into this today but it does say for sims in a marriage of convenience option they can change their mind and stop the relationship at any point and also parents will be able to break off arrangements with the other family in a future update as the system is complicated that makes sense i'm sure this in general was already complicated i'm so happy with the things that were added here in general like this is a great basis for the mod and i'm so excited for the future updates too this will actually add so much to my royal gameplay and i'm very excited especially for this the starter save specifically that i'll be playing on my twitch streams and then i think you could also have a regular wedding if you wanted to like for example if you have sims that were betrothed to each other and they ended up falling in love before they got married hinting at a storyline that has happened in my royal family series then you could do that as well whether you agree or support arranged marriages or not i think that this mod will add so much to royal gameplay or historical gameplay or even like modern gameplay i mean arranged marriages are still a thing in some parts of the world but that is all for today i would love to hear your guys's thoughts in the comments below because this mod is something and i've talked about it with my community as well this mod is something that i have wanted for a very long time the arranged marriages thing has been very prevalent in multiple storylines let me know if you'll be downloading this mod and how you use it on your sims as well if you are not subscribed please make sure to hit that subscribe button and turn on that notification bell and i will see you guys in the next video bye [Music] you
