It's time for Create a Sim (CAS) to get a Family and Relationships update.
This is something I've just been begging and hoping for since Growing Together and Love Struck came out. I also been posting about this recently on Reddit and Twitter, but Family Dynamics and Relationships seriously needs to be updated in CAS. This was something I really had high hopes for and had hoped for along with being able to use special the eye colors and features on normal sims which I am very happy that we finally got them TvT.
When it comes to Family and Relationships there needs to be more in CAS, it sucks being limited to mother, father sister and brother and household member. It would be nice to set sims as Aunties/ Uncles, Niece/Nephew, Cousin, Grandparents or even God/Step-Parent without having to created the parents, it adds more diversity when creating families and we don't have to go through so many hoops adding and deleting sims just to create the family we want. There's also an issues where you can't set a sim to have two mothers or two fathers without playing with genetics which is very annoying and I hope that one day we can just set a child to be able to have two parents of the same sex without having to play with genetic this really applies more to already existing sims too when you pull sims of the gallery.
The ability to have more than 1 spouse. This was something I was really hoping for when lovestruck came out. I like playing with polygamous sims and it also sucks that when I'm creating them in CAS only one of them can be set as spouse. it would be nice to be to at least be able to set up up 2-3 spouses in CAS.
It would be also nice to have Friend, Rival, or Nemesis instead of just leaving someone as a household member. It's a little weird when starting a save with sims that a just household members.
With a Family and Relationships update it would allow Simmers to create more chaotic stories and playstyles
Like Example: if I could start my sims off as Enemies living with it other and I having to play with them to get them grow to tolerate or even like each other. What if I could start off with a child sims and there grandparents because the parents died young... you know stuff like that.
I hope the Sims Team takes this into consideration and add these thing in the future even if its little by little. Again it kind of just sucks when you are limited to 1-2 type of household, and it would just be nice to have a little more variety in the game when it comes to family and relationship. What do you guys think?
