Sims 4 step parents
It would be so nice for step parents to be recognised in game. Is there a mod for this?

I can't link it of course, not even sure if I can say the name of the mod, but there is a mod that lets you set family relationships that I remember seeing not too long ago. I tried it and it didn't quite work properly for me, then again to be fair my game hasn't been updated in a very long time so I'm sure it was a conflict of game version and mod version. I'm not sure what the latest version of the mod is, or if it will work on the latest version of the game, but it might be worth looking into for those of you that want more family relationships.
Oh and by the way, I TOTALLY didn't put the "set family relationships" part in bold because that is the name of a mod or anything. I'm just... uhh... telling you how to potentially Google it.... yeah... that's it....
@daikoyu The mod I'm talking about has what seems to be an optional add-on mod to stop romance. No idea how it works, or how well it works, though I would guess that if you set any sims to a family relationship with the main mod then romance between them will be blocked.
If anyone is curious, I just looked it up again and here is the list of relationships that it says you can set.
- grandparent
- grandchild
- stepbrother/sister
- aunt/uncle
- niece/nephew
- cousin
- stepmother/stepfather
- godmother/godfather
- godson/goddaughter
- adoptive parent
- adopted child
- great-grandparent
- great-grandchild
- ancestor
Yeah, this mod is basically a Must Have for me, just to avoid really uncomfortable romance stuff. I cannot stress enough how much I DO NOT WANT a sim who raised another sim from childhood to suddenly be able to or even want to do romance interactions with them as soon as they age up to young adult. Sims should have the option to adopt the children of their partner, and honestly, kind of wish there was just a "like family" designation you could have the option to put on basically any sim relationship. You wouldn't have to use it if you don't want, but I'd personally love it if sometimes I could have two really good friends who just are NEVER going to be "that way" about each other because they're more like siblings. There just needs to be a lot more family type things beyond the really limited ones in game, and I'm kind of annoyed they didn't do more to patch this when Growing Together came out. There's all these "family dynamics" now, but such limited relationships they can be applied to.
