Building romantic relationships is one of the most interesting and challenging activities in The Sims 4. Gamers need to find the perfect match for their Sim and then they must work hard to initiate and grow the level of romantic interaction.
Speaking of romance in Sims 4, in this guide, we’ll answer one of the hottest questions when it comes to romantic relationships.
Can Sims move in together although they’re not married? Sims can indeed move in together without getting married provided there’s high friendship and the Invite to household option should become available. An alternative method is to simply use the Manage Household tool and add them in.
So, even if your Sims are not married, they can still live together as a romantic couple and have children together without being married.
Many gamers use this strategy with romantic couples before they start Uni. In this manner, it’s a lot easier to get them both through college. If the relationship evolves in a harmonious manner, they can get married after Uni or not.

But there are some exceptions
There are some particular situations when Sims may refuse the invitation to live together with another Sim. For example, they will refuse if they’re already in a relationship or have children to raise.
It seems that Sims are quite precautions when it comes to protecting their existing relationships. Obviously, if they have a child, they prefer to focus on raising the child than investing most of their energy into a romantic relationship.
Conclusion
The fact that unmarried Sims can move in together offers both Sims and players a lot of flexibility when it comes to organizing and managing their households. This also reduces the pressure of getting married. If the two Sims that live together eventually get the whim to live together, they can get married. If they don’t want to, they can live happily under the same roof without getting married. It’s as simple as that.
And now you know.
