The Sims 3 is supposed to be a prequel to Sims 2. A bit of a poor decision by EA, but they're known for that kind of thing. It's kind of ridiculous since TS2 is apparently supposed to be about 50 years after Sims 3, which would make Kaylynn somewhere around about ... 60+ if she were the real thing?
I do wish they had tried to keep to a much better timeline than what they did. But they seem to be of the idea that whatever they can't explain away, they just throw into an alternate timeline or universe and call everything good to go.
Kaylynn doesnt even look remotely attractive or like her TS2 self when aged up, but this isnt unique to her, Bella also looks a bit weird aged up, as does Gunther and Michael. The only returning character from 2 that doesnt look weird compared to the Sims 2 version, is Mortimer, who looks real good as both adult (TS1 Mortimer) and elder (TS2 Mortimer). Kaylynn has the Skip Broke problem too, he too appears too early in Sims 3. I think both of these two, if following Sims 3 rules, found and used elixirs, or wish for a long life from a Genie. But generally occult stuff like that isnt too canon in the stories right? (Although it IS canon that Mortimer invented the Elixir of Life from 2)

They simply screwed up and that's all. They also screwed-up the Capp household (where is Cordelia?). Maybe because 'only 10% of the players care about lore, so we put zero effort into that'
Cordelia needs to be born in-game; Contessa starts off pregnant with Kent, although his gender wasnt set; he can be born female (Kentessa? XD) or as twins. Cordelia would be conceived after the point that Roaring Heights starts with. The Monty family has a similar situation with Claudio; he starts off as an unborn baby, and isnt flagged as male only, and has to be named Claudio manually.
The Capp/Monty situation gets even more bizarre if you try to link up both families to their Veronaville origins; The Capps and Montys have never met in 3, while in 2, the rivalry started off rather early, although the memories in Veronaville are known to be mixed up I guess. the family album DOES show Patrizio arguing with Consort while hes balding.. The Montys are all about a long line of culinary cooks, while the Capps are a line of business people, yet in Sims 3, Patrizio is a doctor, while Isabella is a journalist. Even in Sims 2 PS2, the Montys are present, and Isabella is established as a good cook. Their parents are also all elders, while in Sims 2, they died as adults.
