In order to avoid an EA face spouse and in lieu of cloning/pollinators/ghosts, I'm planning on marrying my gen three heir to a Champs Les Sims townie. (I know this strategy probably risks a lot of bugs/save file bloating--I planned poorly, and this is all I could come up with in my already-in-progress attempt.) I was thinking my Sim will either marry the townie while the family is abroad, if the game allows it--I've never done this before, but online sources seem to say it's possible--or after inviting him to visit once back home.
It seems to me like this plan falls in line with the rules, but I don't think I've ever seen anyone do this before in an ID and that makes me nervous. I just wanted to check in here and make sure it's okay before I go forward with it!
