Pets connection to owner's Family Tree

Hi there,

I have a tiny request for The Sims 4.

Could you please add pet/owner relationships to the family tree?

This can be done for example via a green line. One pet would be connected to just one Sim who happens be the main owner. The pet would seem like a sibling or offspring, but the connection line would be a new color.

The reason I love playing The Sims 4 so much is because of how happy it makes me on a deep level by allowing me to do generational family gameplay. I love my pets too, so I wish to be able to keep track of them in the family tree of my big family.

If you can make my honest request a reality, I would be extremely grateful. 🙂

Thank you!

    I doubt that will happen. If you look at a real Family tree you don't see any pets in there either.

    There are no aliens and PlantSims in real life either. The Sims has never been about realism.

    I simply posed my request as a lifelong Sims fan.

    @greentrees811, while I also doubt that your request would happen, at least in The Sims 4, I also wish EA would do this!  Growing up I had human siblings but we always counted the dog as part of the family!  Therefore, my only sister was canine! ❤️  Now I'm married and I have a dog, and my mom refers to my dog as her "granddog"! ❤️😃  Many people can't have children (and can't even adopt them) 😢 so they rely on cats and dogs as their children! 🐱🐶  And of course many families have children and still consider their pets as part of the family ! ❤️

    Even if EA doesn't do this for TS4, if there ever is a TS5 maybe they will consider adding this! 🤞 😇
