No, a Sim cannot be married and have a girlfriend in The Sims video game series.
The game mechanics are designed to reflect real-life relationships, and monogamy is a core aspect of marriage. Sims can only have one romantic partner at a time.
While Sims can have multiple romantic relationships, they can only be married to one Sim at a time. If a Sim is married and enters a new romantic relationship, the marriage will remain intact, but the Sim will have an affair. This can lead to various consequences, such as divorce, strained relationships with family members, and even cheating scandals.
Here are some examples of how this works in the game:
- A Sim who is married can flirt with other Sims, but they cannot have a girlfriend or boyfriend.
- A Sim who is engaged can still have a girlfriend or boyfriend, but they will not be able to get married until they break up with their current partner.
- A Sim who is divorced can enter into a new romantic relationship, including marriage.
It is important to remember that these game mechanics are designed to reflect real-life relationships. In real life, it is generally considered unethical and often illegal to be married and have a girlfriend or boyfriend.
