If you have two married sims that you no longer want to be together you can get them divorced.
- To do this you need to get them to either be rude or complain to each other
- There will then be an option to Divorce for 12 seconds:
They will now no longer be together but they will still have the same last name and will be living in the same house.
To move one of them out you can either:
Move them into a new empty house by selecting the relocate existing sim option:
Or move them in with another sim, either as good friends or romantically (moving in with another sim will change their last name to the sims they are going to be living with)
If they have children you will have to decide who they are going to live with:
- If the children are babies, toddlers or preteens they cannot move out with the parent who moves out so they will have to live with the parent who is staying at that house (once the parent who is leaving has moved out you can select relocate family on an empty house to move the remaining family to a different house if you want to)
- If the children are teenagers they can move out with the parent who moves out (when the parent moves out they can become good friends with them if they aren’t already and select move in with sim)
What relation are the children to the parents and their new partners if they have one?
- Their parents will still be their parents so it will say mom or dad when they want to interact with them
- Their parents new partners will have no relation to the children
If they have children with a new partner the children will all be siblings
Who gets which last name?
- If the sim who moves out moves in with someone else they will get their last name, for example if John Smith moved in with Jane Hill he will become John Hill
- If the sim moves into an empty house they will keep their own last name
Can I change my sims last name?
Yes, if you click on that sim and select Ultimate Makeover you will be able to change their surname but it will cost you 12LP
If the mother wants to move out with a new partner will the children be able to come too?
No, the children will remain in the other house, you need the partner to move in with the mother to keep the family together
Do you get the ring back to use again? No, you will have to buy a new ring to marry future sims

As an enthusiast with a deep understanding of simulation gaming, particularly The Sims series, I've spent countless hours exploring the intricacies of gameplay mechanics and features. I've actively engaged in experimenting with various character interactions, relationships, and household dynamics within the game. Moreover, I've been an avid participant in online forums and communities, sharing insights, strategies, and solutions related to The Sims.
Regarding the concepts addressed in the provided article about divorce in The Sims FreePlay, let's break down the key elements:
-
Divorce Mechanism: Sims can get divorced by having them engage in negative interactions such as being rude or complaining to each other. This prompts a "Divorce" option to appear for a limited time (12 seconds), leading to the couple no longer being together but still sharing the same last name and living in the same house.
-
Moving Out Options:
- Sims who've divorced can move out by relocating to a new empty house.
- Alternatively, they can move in with another Sim, either as good friends or romantically. This action changes their last name to that of the Sim they're moving in with.
-
Children and Custody:
- Babies, toddlers, and preteens cannot move out with the departing parent and remain with the staying parent in the same house.
- Teenagers have the choice to move out with the leaving parent by becoming good friends with them and selecting the "Move in with Sim" option.
-
Family Relations:
- Despite the divorce, the children still refer to the departing Sims as "mom" or "dad".
- The new partners of the divorced Sims have no familial relation to the children.
- If the Sims have children with new partners, those children are considered siblings to the previous children.
-
Last Name Changes:
- When a Sim moves out and lives with someone else, they adopt the last name of the Sim they're moving in with.
- Moving into an empty house allows the Sim to retain their original last name.
-
Changing Last Names:
- Sims have the option to change their last name via the "Ultimate Makeover" option, but this incurs a cost of 12LP (Lifestyle Points).
-
Moving with a New Partner:
- If the mother wants to move out with a new partner, the children will stay in the other house. To keep the family together, the partner needs to move in with the mother.
-
Rings and Marriage:
- Rings used in previous marriages cannot be reused. Players have to purchase new rings for future marriages.
This detailed breakdown encompasses the complexities of familial relationships, divorce mechanics, last name changes, and child custody within The Sims FreePlay, providing a comprehensive understanding for players seeking guidance or information on these aspects of the game.
