Family relations and more

I would like to se more relationships between family-related sims. And now Im going to aleborate.
I am a big fan of family gameplay and in all my games I use to marry the sims as they very young, and then they have children very young and grandchildren and greatgrandchildren (sometimes even when they are adults). So that's why all that issue is very important to me.
First-i think that when a sim becomes a grandparent and he's not living in the same household with the new grandchild, the grandparent doesn't know at all his new family member. As well as aunts, uncles, cousins and greatgrandparents. Another thing is when a sim is aging up to toddler all his relationships (except to the household members) are delered and he needs to meet everyone again. Thats horrible!
Second, in my opinion there is a big lack in the relationships in the panels of the friends - for example a sim can't identify his greatgrandson and even can date him!!! Also there is not in-laws relations which I think is very important.
And also I want to see more special and functional interactions between grandparents and greatgrandparents and their grandchildren, also between sims and their parents in law and sons/daughters in law.
I think that these additions shouldn't be as a part of a pack or something but as a free update because it is necessary for the game. What do you think?
