Orphaned kids/pets taken in by other families

I would love if when a sim dies leaving behind kids/pets those kids/pets go to another family member or close friend.
Example an elderly sim has a cat, dies of old age and the cat goes to their adult son/daughter etc.
Maybe have it be something you can toggle on and off? Have a pop up that says 'John Smith died of old age, do you want his cat Fluffy to move with another family or go to the animal shelter' something like that.
I had a sim in a household that I hadn't played for a while have a baby using the neighborhood stories and didn't realize she was almost an elder, by the time the kid grew up she had died of old age and the kid vanished from the family tree it was frustrating.
  • If you can and feel comfortable with using mods, MCCC enables the adoption of orphans if the last Teen / Adult in the household passes away!
    I do wish it was an "official" feature though, I don't like to rely on mods for everything.

    Agreed. Children that get taken away should be able to be adopted by other families.

    Currently, pets taken away can be adopted by other household. However, children get deleted...

    I know that in The Sims 2, this feature allowed "family love in bad way", but I really wouldn't mind if child's family tree will be the same.
  • I would love this too. If they have no family members or close friends though, it would be nice to see the kid again in the adopt kid menu so other parents could adopt them.
  • I don't use mods or CC in sims 4 but some of the features do seem appealing
  • I'm so tired of kids just magically disappearing for the world. I really hate this aspect of Sims 4. I would love to see kids even just taken away adopted by another family. Maybe even finding their birth family as adults.
  • I use a mod which enables children to be adopted but it would be great to have it as an official feature.

    I would like it if you can choose to add the pet or child and a Social Worker brings them there. Oh, and all the child or Pets need are all filled when they are dropped off. I don't want to have to hurry and have to get the pet a litter box or get them outside before they pee on the floor or starve to death.
