Sim proposing with a ring in hand under soft lighting, representing the Autonomous Proposals mod by PolarBearSims.
This mod lets Sims propose or break up autonomously, adding romance spontaneity and dynamic relationship gameplay.

Autonomous Proposals by PolarBearSims is a tuning / autonomy mod for The Sims 4 that lets Sims (including NPCs) propose marriage or relationships on their own, without player direction.

Key Features
The mod offers multiple “flavors” or versions so players can choose how proposals work in their game. One version enables only autonomous proposals. Another includes both proposals and breakups. There are also versions that retain original interactions (like the “giddy” proposal animations) or remove romance requirements.

Mod Release Date & Updates
Originally released in 2017. There has been a hot fix released in February 2021 to address issues—particularly one where certain animations were removed by the base game, breaking proposal interactions unless the fix was applied.

Gameplay Role / Impact
This mod adds surprise, spontaneity, and realism to romantic gameplay. Sims can get engaged autonomously, which can bring unexpected drama or emotional moments. It makes relationships feel more dynamic rather than always being driven by the player.

Community Feedback
Players often enjoy the surprise and life-like feel this mod provides. Many like that NPCs can propose or end relationships, which adds layers to storytelling. Some report needing to choose one flavor only to avoid conflicts, and others noted needing the hot fix so animations work correctly.
