Getting a Gold Medal for a wedding in The Sims 4 is all about planning the details, keeping your Sims and guests happy, and making sure everything goes off without a hitch.
Picking the Perfect Spot
The first step to a Gold Medal wedding is picking the right location. The setting really sets the vibe for your Sims’ big day.
If you have the My Wedding Stories pack, Tartosa is a dream. It’s full of gorgeous wedding-friendly spots.
No packs? No problem. Base game players can host at Municipal Muses in Willow Creek. It’s small but lovely.
Snowy Escape players can check out Center Park in San Myshuno.
If you also have City Living, adding the Party Place lot trait can make your wedding guests have more fun, which makes hitting Gold Medal goals easier.
Once you’ve got the location, start planning the ceremony and the party. Think slow dances, toasts, music, add all the festive activities.
Completing Wedding Goals
When your Sims’ wedding starts, the main goals pop up in the corner of the screen. Every task you complete earns points, so keeping track is key.
Here’s what you need to focus on.
Main Goals
Exchange vows and officially get married. Click the wedding arch, do the ceremony, and make sure the newlyweds share a kiss and flirt a little.
Have guests watch the ceremony. Place benches or chairs so everyone can sit comfortably.
Secondary Goals
Cut the wedding cake. You can bake one yourself or order it from Tartosa’s patisseries. Don’t forget a fancy topper, it really makes a difference. Afterward, the couple can feed each other cake.
Make sure guests have food and drinks, and they enjoy the party. You can prep it in advance, hire a high-quality Caterer, or serve the group from inventory.
Don’t skimp on the Caterer. Cheap ones might fail to show up or bring bad food.
Play background tunes or hire a skilled Musician. You can also add a bar with a Mixologist to keep drinks flowing.
Have your Sims chat with guests for a couple of hours and thank them for attending. Friendly interactions here really help with points.
Pro Tips for a Smooth Wedding
Some extra tricks can make sure everything goes perfectly.
If you have Seasons, stick to an indoor location to avoid rain or snow ruining the party.
Keep your Sims’ needs in the green. Potions or cheats can help if they’re low on energy, hunger, or fun.
Take a few days off work around the wedding. You don’t want a Workaholic Sim leaving mid-party.
Skip toddlers, children, and elderly Sims. Toddlers and kids can be high-maintenance, and elders dying mid-wedding brings down everyone’s mood.
Avoid inviting exes of the bride or groom. Drama can ruin your Gold Medal chances fast.
