Sims 4 - Ancestry Project

Sims 4 - Ancestry Project

The aim of this project is to recreate the full ancestries for the most memorable pre-made families in the sims series spanning from The Sims Medieval era to The Sims 4.

Required Mods: MC Command Center | Zerbu - Venue Changes
Primary Information Source: The Sims Wiki

Although every effort is being made to stay true to canon, the creation of Fictional Sims and the designation of Unknown Relation Sims will be required in order to connect family branches to a common ancestor. In these cases I will do my best to form logical connections using the available source information and any further possible research.

Windenburg Chapel & Cemetery

  • All deceased ancestors have gravestones/urns
  • All families have their graves arranged together
  • Notable characters have memorials (Princess Cordelia Thebe / Admiral Landgraab/Ebenezer Alto)


Completed Ancestries

  • Hemlock, Straud, Spencer-Kim-Lewis, Sargeant
  • Alto (Ojeda, Hale, Wahine, Kahale, Hernandez, Medina)
  • Landgraab (Zest, Buckingham, Darktide, Landegraab)
  • Shallot (Escargot, Alcorn)
  • Goth (Crumplebottom, Bachelor, Caliente, Al Mahmoud, Libros, Gilman, Dalton, Branson)
  • Capp (Thebe, Caesar, Albion, Dane, Scott, Gale, Anjou, Norman)
  • Monty (Pantalone, Zanni, Arlecchino, Brighella, Dottore, Capitano, Amantes)
  • Littler (Angelista, Perry)
  • Broke (Newbie, Simovitch)
  • Lord Lycan & Lady Sanguina
  • Pleasant (Burb, Oldie, Marsh, Danders, Ruggbyrne)


Deviations from Canon

Goth


Shallot, Escargot, Alcorn

  • Lord Bernard Escargot Shallot IV and Lady Mimsy Alcorn Shallot have been given ancestors based around characters from the poem they were inspired by: The Lady of Shalott
  • This ancestry allowed the creation of fictional modern day descendants of the Shallot, Escargot and Alcorn families, who are all currently fighting for control of The Von Haunt Estate after Bernard and Mimsy died without heirs.

    Hey :smile:

    I was going to get as many of the memorable families done as possible and then release the save file.

    I'd love some suggestions for families that people remember and would like to see again.

    Currently adding this traffic jam of a family tree: https://sims.fandom.com/wiki/Curious_family
  • @Rosysimmer Very cool! Now I'm wondering what happened to Dmitri, and whether or not he became a vampire! Nice to know there are others out there who enjoy a good backstory.

    As for this project, I unfortunately had to leave the country to look after a family member back in September 2020 so haven't had access to my PC since then, but I've just got it shipped to me today, so I'm about to continue with the ancestries.

    Will update soon =)
  • Unfortunatley It turned out I arrived home to a corrupted hard drive, so I've lost the files for this save. I'm contemplating wether to tackle this again but I'ts probably more sensible to wait until the Sims 5 and hope for better family trees.
