A downloadable mod
This is a mod that allows for gameplay around taking the next step beyond boyfriend/girlfriend/significant other in Sim's relationships. With this mod, that can either become engaged or enter a commitment which might lead to marriage or a civil partnership. Additionally, it adds tweaks to MWS to allow for actual reactions and variations with those reactions to the planning and social interactions from that pack and ports the improved versions into the base game. Finally, it adds additional gameplay around the big day itself with the player/Sim being afforded more choices as to how they want to plan that event.
I was able to make a single version that enables the features of MWS if you have it and gives you some of the planning options if you do not. I did not add any attendants to BG weddings! There's a new menu on Sims, Computers, and Phones and during Socials called Custom Nuptials that includes the options.
Now your sims can only propose if they are in a relationship with another sim. They also must first have purchased an engagement/commitment ring. This applies to proposing to be engaged and proposing to be committed. Before proposing, your sims can drop hints to their boyfriend/girlfriend/significant other, browse the internet for rings, and shop for the rings.
Not all Sims who are in loving and faithful relationships want to become engaged or get married. Therefore two new relationship statuses were added with this mod. The first one is Committed. This is the relationship that Sims enter into when they decided to enter a Civil Partnership. Once they elope or have their commitment ceremony, they will become Partners.
In addition to the socials added from MWS for the BG version with additions, the mod includes socials for dropping hints about engagement/commitment if your sims aren't yet engaged/committed, getting opinions from other sims on wedding ring choices, discussing each aspect of the event (wedding or commitment ceremony) with your intended, and the ability to even get into arguments if the visions diverge.
There's also the ability to invite people on a Sim by Sim basis to your wedding/ceremony in addition to sending out formal invitations in case you forget someone!
There is also a new proposal type - Propose Civil Partnership - that will lead to a new type of relationship status that opens up the door to a Commitment Ceremony.
Most new interactions are either available on the phone, computer, and by clicking on the Sim. A few are available before the engagement/commitment, most during, and the honeymoon is available after.
Sims can look up engagement/commitment rings and get opinions from other Sims. They can also go shopping for engagement/commitment rings. They can drop hints to their significant other that they'd like a proposal.
In addition to the interactions ported from MWS to BG and included as an option in the MWS version, including cake tasting, florist, apparel shopping, venue tours, and meeting with an officiant, there's the ability to go to a stylist, financial advisor, legal consultant, counseling, getting marriage license, and a rabbithole rehearsal and rehearsal dinner.
Sims can also book their honeymoon arrangements, start a wedding website, browse forums, check vendor reviews, and look up hairstyles and makeup tips.
Sims can invite others to their wedding via the relationship panel, by speaking with them, or through the planner.Only sims who have been invited by a member of the wedding/ceremony couple will show up as possible guests via the event.
Sims have the option to setup a registry. They can specific whether or not they want to receive physical gifts, monetary gifts, or both. Depending on what they select, they will receive either or both upon the end of their commitment ceremony/wedding. Physical gifts will show up in the household inventory not the sim's inventory!
Some interactions in the MWS version are available within the town square by clicking on the shells.
Upon engagement or commitment, an Event Coordinator should contact your sim. You can decide to tell them whether you're planning to elope, do it yourself, or would like the coordinator's services. The main idea behind the coordinator is that they ask guided questions about the setup of the event, will precheck off things based on the consult in the planning checklist, and will periodically check in with the sims to see how the planning is going up until the big day. The coordinator will also be present at the ceremony.
Hiring an event coordinator unlocks the ability to access the planner on the phone, tablet, and computer but the checklist is always available by clicking on the Sim. The checklist will help the Sim to keep track of important details or arrangements or options available to help plan a successful event. The Sim can get information on how to complete the checklist items, they will be checked off once complete, and clicking on an unchecked item will either push the sim to do that interaction or give them information about what must be done for that to be complete.
Your sims can browse honeymoon getaways and book travel arrangements and accommodations before their wedding/commitment ceremony or after. The price of travel and accommodations fluctuates, so depending on when it's booked it can be more expensive or less expensive so keep an eye out for potentially better prices later in the day or next day.
Sims can only go on honeymoon once married/partners. There's a new option on the phone in the Custom Nuptials menu to go on the honeymoon once those arrangements have been made. Using this option versus the Plan Vacation will allow for special moodlets. This also works with SimNation Travel.
Requirements:

*This mod does not require My Wedding Stories. If you have MWS installed, more options are available to you via the mod, but if you don't have MWS, a few features (listed above) from MWS are cloned into this mod.*
