Have More Than One Husband or Wife on the Sims 2
Do you ever get bored of seeing just two married sims interact day after day? As addictive as The Sims games are, they can sometimes get pretty routine. Wouldn't it make your game more interesting if your sim could have more than one spouse? Unfortunately, within the game's original mechanics, that's not possible. But why limit yourself? Polygamy is possible in real life, and with a few modifications to your game, your sims can experience it too!
Steps
- Download a multiple-marriage mod. A simple google search for "Sims 2 Multiple Marriage Mod" can lead you to some useful links. It would also be beneficial to find a mod that prevents your sims from experiencing jealousy, but that's really your call. After all, jealousy can make for some fun (or at the very least, interesting) gameplay. Make sure you've correctly installed the mod, and that you aren't going to break your game (or computer) by doing so.
- Create an adult sim. Go to the Neighborhood screen and click on "Create Sim." You should go through this process as if you were normally creating a new sim. Its gender, appearance, or aspirations don't have an effect on whether or not the multiple marriage mod will work, so go crazy.
- Have your sim meet other sims. You can either create them within the same household as the original sim, or separately and move them into your original Sim's house (as long as there are less than eight sims already living on the lot). Moving them into the same house isn't the only way to meet sims, though. If you have the Nightlife expansion, your sim can meet other sims through a matchmaker or during a night of partying out on the town. You can also have your sim visit a community lot during the day (like a gym), invite other sims to your house, or chat with sims on the computer. There are always opportunities to meet new sims!
- Get your sims to know each other. There are tons of social options in The Sims 2, from just chatting to telling dirty jokes. You can even make them flirt a lot, but be warned: flirting only works if your sims have a certain amount of social recognition for each other. But once they start flirting, it won't take too long for them to fall in love.
- Once your sims are in love, they can get married. If they're happy and in love, you can have one sim get down on bent knee and pop the question. You can have them move in first, if they aren't already living together, but once they're married they'll be living together anyway.
- Repeat with another eligible sim. You can go through this process as many times as you like, marrying as many sims as you would like.
Tips
- If you have a sim with a Fortune aspiration who wants to marry a rich sim, do not have the two sims move in before marriage, as the funds will be added to your Sim's household before they can get married. Doing so will leave your Sim's Fortune aspiration unrealized.
- If you don't want to download any hacks or mods, you can do something similar by following the same steps, without having your sims marrying each other. You can even have both lovers living on the same lot.
- If you're using the gypsy to meet new people, be sure to pay well. If you don't have much money, try using the money cheat (motherlode) to How to Make Money on Sims 2.

Warnings
- If you don't have any jealousy mods, it would be best to not marry either sim, as this situation would probably result in a divorce. You also should be careful if both lovers are on the lot and are both either awake or in the same room; when your sim acts romantically towards one of the sims, the other will consider it cheating.
