Extended Family PLEASE!

I know I am just sounding like a broken record of many simmers before me, but, PLEASE can't we have our step parents/siblings, in-laws, cousins (1st, 2nd, 3rd), great/great great grand parents, and what-nots added to the family trees?

In addition, I'd really like family interactions to be more familial and not just friend to friend like it currently is. How about having sims have interactions talking about things they already know about each other? Like, have siblings tease each other about their school crushes or threaten to tell other kids/teens about their siblings crush (blackmail for homework/chores...if we ever get any etc.), have a wife go with spouse to company gathering and meet co-workers and learns the trait of one very friendly female co-worker that is a hopeless romantic/romantic sim and became "weary" of that sim. Show that specific flirty sim in Relationships panel as "Acquaintance" and "Weary" or "Suspicious". This can be useful with jealous family oriented sims. They can now have interactions where they ask about the spouse's day at work and fish for info to see if the weary sim gets mentioned. They can have little jealously flareups and depending on the spouses flag to either allow or not allow affairs they can argue back or try to assure the insecure spouse.

I don't know, just...interactions amongst family should not be 98% identical to that between friends. IMO

And can we fix genealogy? Sims can be cousins but not even have the aunt or uncle in their personal family tree. And when there's limited ancestors, we should be able to make a create-a-sim portrait. And have the option of having that sim in world or not. And editing relationships.

Like:
1. You have a sim you're making and decide to make her parents too. Cool.
2. But you want her to take after her Grandma who doesn't exist. POP On Over to "Edit-Geneology-Mode"(trademark pending lol). Make Grandma add her traits. Maybe give her some fulfilled lifetime achievements (myb sims 3 era stuff). Add her beaus.
3. Grandma married Grandpa Elroy but dated Louis Marx first, and Mom looks just like him.?
4. We could have a panel for "Past Relationships" sims can be exes. Ex bffs etc, without us having to cheat it all. Or suffer through it.
5. Ooooh and we could add a "Search for Ancestry " sims who are the first in their families can have randomized backstories of where their ppl are from. Sims with ancestors can learn about the lives they lived.
6. And I can FINALLY add relatives. MCC only has parent or siblings, or kids. What about aunts and uncle? Or if you have a relationship with multiple spouses we could have Mom/Dad #x or a difference between bio-parents and raising parents.
