Marriage is a blissful union of two souls and their children. Their children? With the increasing number of non-traditional families there are more single parents in Greymount and SimCity. Getting married with children takes some special effort, for now two families are blending instead of two Sims.
First, make sure your future partner and your children have a good relationship-friendship is not necessary, but all family members should know your partner. Even though marriage creates unknown bonds between family members, it is better if the bonds are worked at before the marriage.
Make sure to discuss the possibility of more children and that it is expected that all the children be treated equally. There is nothing else that causes a child to hate a Sim then when that Sim plays favorites. Also make sure your future spouse is ready and prepared for the instant family, some unions come with one or two children, and others come with sisters and parents that the Sim is caring for.
When planning the wedding, involve the children. Children can be flower girls, ring bearers or even (jr) bridesmaids and (jr) groomsmen let them in on the decision process and remember to reward their efforts with treats and toys-ok bribe them if you must.
Now you’re ready to be married with children.
