Relationships!
Hi! I wanted to come on here and share a suggestion I’m sure has been brought up hundreds of times, however, I figured bringing more attention to it couldn’t hurt. I think that the gameplay of the Si...
@Simmer2029 Yes! I too would like to be able to set more familial relationships in CAS. If I may, I'd like to take it a bit further. It would be so great if I could create families in CAS and then have a way of setting their relationships in Live Mode. There are cheats and mods that give us the option to add relationship bits but they are somewhat limited in scope. After creating several families, perhaps I could play one of them and visit the others, then click on the sims to mark them as sibling, cousin, aunt, uncle, etc. This would be especially helpful when loading families to a new save that I've played in other saves. I realize this could be a complicated venture where the Simology panel - Genealogy is concerned but I have faith that the Sims team could make it happen. :-)
It would also be great if more of the relationships were displayed in the relationship panel. For example, when I click on my sims' great-grandparents, that relationship isn't displayed, even though it does appear in their Simology panel - Genealogy.
Brendan's great-grandfather is Jona.
But in Brendan's relationship panel, Jona is simply listed as an acquaintance. :-(
All great ideas! I posted somewhere on Twitter/X at some point about my desire for a genealogical update, where even vampire "families" are tracked. And adoptees are more visible (not that they aren't part of the family, but just so I can see the difference between bio children). Perhaps different colored lines to indicate these different "additions" to the family (again, no way to track vampiric offspring)? I was hoping it would be part of Growing Together, but I do think that pack was fleshed out nicely.
