Getting two survivors to get married?

[Jaggid Edje]

Is there some trick to getting this to happen?

I've played through the game 7 times now, and only had it happen one time that any survivor even tried to get into a 'relationship' with another...and that just ended up with hurt feelings because the feelings were not reciprocated.

Are there like two survivors that have a high chance if played together?

Any tips welcome, as it is one of the last few achievements I have left to get.

I always get people to marry lol, current i have laara and krista married.

Just let them work near eachother, relationship wil grow for good or bad, but let them be, like laara and krista they where whining at first, then all of a sudden engaged then i build the wedding arch then a day later "we want to get married" lol.

the more they walk, talk and play with eachother the higher the chance.

You have better luck with the relationships than me then, because when I've had 2 people often spend time together, they invariably have ended up despising each other, as in very big negative numbers. The only exception to that has been the one instance I mentioned above where one person was into the other but it was not reciprocated.

Hmm, sine EA i have basically two marriages per play trough. Dunno how, they just happen. Only thing i have the same is like all crafting stations are near each other. So basically they craft, they whine, they craft, they marry lol. Also i never had someone who hated an other or fights, same with meltdowns that is basically non existing.

Also my starting 4 are:
- Emelin
- Laara
- Ken
- Quin

Every playthrough.

Oh, thanks for sharing the people you use. It might make a difference.

I just completed my playthrough for getting the insane-chaos achievements (and saved connor), so when I start my next game tonight I'll use those as my starters, just to see if it helps.

All I have left for achievements is Bug Mania, I do I did, Bug Whisperer, Getting High, and Master of the Herd, and would like to get as many done on this next run as I can. (if the RNG overlords smile on me for the two that require finding technology).

The only benefit to having a couple get engaged or married is to free up bedrooms, since you move the beds so that the engaged/married couple have beds next to each other.

I'm not interested in benefits, I just am after the achievement. "I do, I did" is the achievement name. And it's one of the hidden ones.

Also had someone fall in love and move in together in my current game, for the first time. Yesterday they got engaged, and I have a wedding arch built, so I suspect they'll marry soon.

Characters are Data and Heidi, both from mod packs, so not helpful for vanilla players, I guess.

Data has been mainly salvaging and exploring in the game, while Heidi has been researching constantly, so they never really 'worked together' when they got together. But I have everyone eat and relax at the same time twice a day, so I guess this is enough for them to have interactions leading to 'lovers or haters', so to speak.

Btw, I also found Rita on an expedition the first year sometime, and she has the trait of cheering up the others. I often see her 'happiness boost' in the other character's mood panel, so having a character with such a trait when everyone are often gathered together might be beneficial for relationships as well, but I don't know...

Good luck with future love endeavors!

I started a new trading scenario this afternoon, using these suggested survivors (I used the more survivors mod to start it with 4 rather than 3 people, just so I COULD). Then Paulette was hired from my 2nd 'contact' posting a job offer (first had no takers).

Anywho, I'm happy to report that as of Year 1, Day 29, Quin and Paulette are lovers! Which is the closest I have ever gotten so far.

Your guidance has steared me closer to my goal, so thank you.

Edit: Paulette has been tailoring next to Quin doing research for many days, so I'm sure that's a big factor. I'm just tickled they have formed a relationship rather than just hating each other like normally happens to me.

I'm over the moon, 2 days later they got married.

I did not know that if a hired hand marries a 'farm owner' in the trading scenario, they became an owner too. Just saved a bundle of money, and super glad I only bought the shortest available contract when she signed up. LOL

Gratz.

Yes once a worker marries he becomes a settler.

I got Samantha and Simon married in my Trading outpost game. But it took 10 years lol!
I choose to start with this 2 because Samantha was described as romantic so I asumed she falls easily in love and Simon seemed to visual fit to her.
So I placed them into the same bedroom.
And the interest in each other went for an back mostly one sided but flipped .. until both once became interested in each other. But then it still took a while before they married.

Anyway as much as I like the game relationship is flat in this game... nothing. I mean it is just..nothing.. no visible action ... no romance
Even the Sims is more alive in this regard.

But whatever .. I guess that is ok. Only point is something is missing... don't know what but if you play a 10 year game somewhen all is set and done... what else is there to do? Maybe I expect too much.
Don't get me wrong I really like this game just think somehow there could be something more. Not sure what thought.

So that was an eventful wedding day!

By the way, I like the searchlights! And sorry to capture the thread a little here... Got excited by everything lol

[Jaggid Edje]

No need to be sorry, I appreciate seeing your in-game marriage and sharing in your excitement.

(Also, I like the search lights too!). My current game I'm playing with my Slower Research mod and it's going to be quite a while before I even get electricity. I miss my turrets and search lights a little bit...

Unless it's random
Daniel seems to get along well with Katia, and Jack with Rita.
