you could easily just make them do mean interactions on them.
Pointless, because being mean has no lasting effects in TS4.
In TS2 sims would hold a grudge. Get their relationship into the red, and all autonomous actions between them would be mean.
If you have Parenthood, mean interactions within the family will have a long-term effect on the Sims' relationship label in the relationship panel. I haven't tried this with step-parents who have adopted a Sim as a dependant though.
I like all the ideas in the OP! I've always wanted Sims to be nosier, so I like the idea of options to interfere more in others' lives. I think the Aspiration for having a successful lineage is great for storytelling but could have a lot more gameplay and side effects in game than it does. It would be fun if a Sim with that Aspiration could get upset if their child went against their recommendations of a good match. You can do this on your own, but I'd love it if the game had more interactions like that built into it to make decisions within the family have repurcussions.
