Expanding eligibility for dynasty membership

When playing the Thebe family in R&L, I found that the Thebes/Laurents from MWS were not able to join Cordelia's dynasty, even though they descended directly from Cordelia I.

My suggestion is to allow any sim who you can see from the head's family tree to be eligible for dynasty membership. This way, sims don't suddenly become ineligible when the dynasty head changes and the dynasty remains stable.

An alternative would be for dynasties to be split into houses, where sims can create cadet branches and have their own leadership, but still have an overall head.

    Honestly, my suggestion (just to make things simple) would just be to have Arnessa Thebe, Hector Laurent, Greta Laurent, and Jace Laurent be members of the Thebe dynasty from the get-go. No need to change dynasty joining eligibility — they should just be part of it.

    Maybe there is some drama involving Hector, after all, he shed the Thebe family name and took his wife's name (at least it appears this way at first glance, maybe he changed his name prior to marriage?), so maybe he was excluded from the dynasty for some reason?
