How to get the ex-boyfriend or girlfriend status to go away?

[Overworked Grump]

Want two of my sims to get back together, but I can't figure out how. Any help here?

If memory serves, you're looking for the "just be friends" or somesuch interaction. Normally this shows up under the "Mean" interactions since this is how you break up, but in this case it should be under "Friendly." It's going to take some serious positive socialization to make it appear, though. There might also be a "Kiss and make up" interaction, but I think that's reserved for those who confessed to or got caught cheating.

To get the interaction, use only "Friendly" emotes with the ex-girlfriend/boyfriend, until it comes up and says "<exbf/gf name> thinks <your Sim> is being sociable" then you should get the interaction come up. I would also suggest that you make sure your Sim has an amicable friendship with the ex too, because I think this has an impact on whether or not your Sim can "Ask to be Friends" with their ex. Also, after awhile of being ex-with-a-Sim, your Sim might get an action to "Ask to be Friends" with their ex-gf/bf, and this action can't be cancelled, just like when a Sim discovers another Sim is cheating on them with someone else.
