Best Sims 4 Spouses for a Happy Virtual Marriage

As an avid Sims 4 player with over 200 hours logged building families and relationships, single Sims looking for that special someone often ask me—who are the best Sims to marry for a fulfilling virtual marriage?

Based on compatibility, lifestyle habits, career prospects, domestic skills, and overall spouse potential, these 5 candidates top the list of Sims 4’s most exceptional and foolproof marriage material:

1. Akira Kibo

According to my personal gameplay and various online polls, San Myshuno chef Akira Kibo edges out the competition as the number one choice for Sim marriage.

As a Foodie and Romantic with high Cooking, Mixology, and Charisma skills, Akira makes an ideal domestic partner. He enjoys reading, has Fitness and Wellness aspirations, and brings home a comfortable $136/day as a celebrated 5-star chef.

In my current save file, I’m 50 Sim hours into a file with Akira as my Sim-wife’s husband. He autonomously cooks 3-star meals daily, has loyal friends, maintains the household in his free time without complaining, and has 2 toddlers he adores spending time with.

Akira has the perfect blend of professional success, sociability, domestic ability, and eagerness for romance that makes him every Sim’s dream husband.

Traits
Foodie (loves cooking elaborate meals)
Romantic (frequently autonomous flirting)
Outgoing (maintains positive moods and relationships)

Key Stats

• Cooking: 8
• Mixology: 5
• Charisma: 6
• Career: Celebrity Chef

2. Salim Benali

For Sims attracted to Salim‘s humor, creative spirit, and commitment to music, look no further than this dedicated DJ for the total package.

Aspiring Music producer Salim devotes his early adult life to building his DJ skills and expanding his repertoire of tracks. When he isn’t at the club behind the turntables, you can find him joking with friends at the humor & hijinks festival, playing violin in the park, or upgrading his gear at the local electronics store.

Salim‘s Musical, Goofball, and Outgoing traits make him a lively, engaging Sim perfect for Independent or Creative types able to thrive when Salim is caught up producing his latest EDM track.

His lower $42/day income means financial stability requires some strategic planning early on. Have one Sim pursue a lucrative career until Salim’s music career takes off. But once he starts headlining club events and music festivals, his Creative aspiration truly pays off.

Traits
Goofball (frequently plays tricks)
Music Lover (gains powerful moodlets from songs)
Outgoing (high charisma skill potential)

Key Stats

• DJ Skill: 8
• Comedy: 4
• Charisma: 5

Caleb Vatore tops wish lists for Sims seeking adventure, loyalty, and eternal love from a vampire boyfriend committed for life (and beyond).

As an ancient vampire, Caleb has seen civilizations rise and fall. He cherishes knowledge and culture. By night, he pens bestselling novels that have spanned decades. By day, he sleeps in a regal coffin bed dressed in Victorian era sleepwear.

Caleb desires a life of intimacy and passion. His Soulmate aspiration compels him to seek deep emotional connections. As a Romantic, he craves affection, gifting loving tokens like roses and frequently embracing his beloved.

Once married, Caleb is devoted for eternity. He maintains playfulness with a loving spouse by autonomously flirting, whispering sweet nothings, and enjoying WooHoo anywhere his temptation strikes.

For family-oriented Sims, dedicated mom Grace Anansi is a perfect match. She enjoys childcare, cooking, and maintaining an impeccably clean home.

As a Neat, Family-Oriented Sim, Grace autonomously cleans, does laundry, pays bills and cares for children without being asked. And with a maxed Cooking skill and Culinary aspiration, fantastic homemade meals are always on the menu.

Though her Fertile trait allows chances for multiples, she handles the chaos of a large household in stride. Combined with her innate desire to nurture, children flock to Grace‘s caring and protective nature.

When the kids are off at school, Grace maintains her supply of quality ingredients through fishing, gardening, and grocery runs. And on weekends, the whole family enjoys trips to parks, jungle gyms, and play spaces.

For Sim parents craving household harmony with a loyal, domestic partner, Grace Anansi is the clear choice.
