Clone Surprises!
My sim, Annie, wished to clone a sim, so I decided to let her. I'd never done it before, and it definitely wasn't like I expected. My sim got her DNA sample from one of her best friends, Sun Young K...

How do you make a clone in game? Does the game recognize them as clone or are they just an acquaintance?
I've been watching Orphan Black and after reading your post I might want to try something along those lines. In CAS I could make several sisters from the same sim, giving them different personalities. But the game would not recognize them as clones.
You can use the science station to clone a sim from a DNA sample. Your sim needs science skill level 9 to clone samples, but they get the interaction to ask for DNA at an earlier level. This will give you a baby.
Or you can use the Clone Drone potion from the alchemy skill. This will clone the sim at their current age span.
There's also a clone voucher LTR which I think gives you a child aged clone of the sim with the voucher.
It's been a while since I've used the 1st two methods, and I've never used the last one. I don't recall the relationship level with the cloned baby or clone drone sim, but they aren't connected to anyone on a family tree.
I don't know what you mean by "recognize them as a clone." In the 1st two methods the traits may not be the same as the source sim, but they will look exactly alike. There's nothing in the sim description or family tree that indicates the sim is a clone. After creation they are just another sim. The clone from the science station is added to the household. I seems to recall that a clone from the Clone Drone potion is not, and I don't think the relationship level is all that high (years ago I once had a sim marry his clone, I don't remember how I added the clone to the household).
