Extended Famiy Tree?

I'm looking for a mod that will show cousins on the family tree so I can view the entire family. I'm playing a legacy challenge with Jared Frio and I just found out now that Connor Frio, his brother, had 2 kids with Zelda Frio and I just now found out. It shows half sisters and brothers so why not cousins? Is there any mods that youve found? I've been searching but I only find threads asking for it with no solutions

  • @Mikezumi also im sure your family tree is hugeeeee, id love to see it if you get a moment hahaha
  • @Mikezumi Haha! Love that. I dont give sims makeovers I want them to carry genetics and stuff as best as possible and as for clothing I only change it on sims in my family or that I want in my family if its god awful. I dont have the patience to make over toddlers or kids cause theyre in that life stage for so short. maybe teens or young adults i will. i got the most adorable clothing for babies though omgggg
  • There is an option in one of the NRAAS mods that lets you choose the number of levels in the family tree. I think its in Story Progression. I can't check right now as I have them in a tomb in France and I'm working on the video - but if I remember to check later on I'll let you know where it is if you don't already know how to do it.

    EDIT: If it were me and I wanted the Frios to have parents so I could see their cousins in the family tree, I'd make parents and use master Controller to add their parents to their family trees. I've done that before. I made their parents ghosts though. And I didn't do it for the Firos, but I did it for another sims I was playing with once.
  • Nrass - Master Controller - Basic - Family Tree

    It will show you broader family tree than the family tree button accessed in the UI

    But it might not show your cousin.
  • @Karritz oh that’s smart to just make them as a ghost. Do I have to place them in a house? I’d rather them not really exist in game other than just to connect the family tree

    When I did it I made 6 ghosts to add another generation above.

    I was clueless about what to do with them. I put them in a house and after a couple of days they all vanished and I found their tombstones in the mausoleum. I got them out of that and put them on the ground in the cemetery. It was a few years ago now so I don't remember all that happened clearly now.

    I have copies of just about every sim I ever made backed up so I have a huge resource to draw upon if I want to add extra sims to a game. I've been making and backing up my sims since I started playing the game in June 2009 so I have a huge lot of backed up sims.

    The thing that happened to get me to want to make ghosts to add to a family tree was I found I had placed two different households from my library into a game and one of my sims was in both households. I didn't want to get rid of her in either household so I decided to turn her two versions into cousins. So I made two pairs of ghosts as the parents of each version and then another pair of ghosts to be the cousins shared grandparents.

    With Sims 3 you always have to have a sim in the game, either living or dead, who can join family trees together. Everyone in a family tree has to trace their ancestry back to at least one common sim.
