Vernon & Gladys MorseThese two are quite the couple. Gladys is always out looking for excitement in all the wrong ways and Vernon usually finds himself glooming over the tiny details in life.Vernon Morse and Gladys Morse are sims who were used in various promotional materials for The Sims 4, including several trailers and an appearance on the base game's old cover. They can be found in the Gallery where they can be downloaded from SimGuruZephyr's profile. Their relationship is unclear; they are roommates when downloaded, despite having the same surname and being referred to as an "odd couple" in the family bio. Opinions amongst players differ as to whether they are a married couple, mother and son, or siblings. It is implied that Laney Voom is Vernon's love interest, and among Gladys' love interests being Chuck Cenzo.I am making a save where I add all the sims from the trailers, starting from the very beginning and pre-release of the game, to the latest pack released. But I'm at a point where these two sims stumped me, 'cause they share the same surname but they're not married, they're not siblings or have a mother-and-son relationship (Vernon is a fully grown Adult, while Gladys is an Elder), they're just roommates when loaded to Create-A-Sim. And as mentioned above, Vernon is in love with Laney, and Gladys has many love interests.Any SimGuru, especially SimGuruZephyr and SimGuruJill if they're still active, can anyone answer this question regarding their relationship? It has never been stated but they were referred to as a "couple". Whatever that means, either romantic couple or couple as in "two people" paired.

@diavolosims , I do not work for EA, but here is my head-cannon: I think they are just 2 roommates who happen to have the same name! Morse is a common enough name for that to happen. (One of my favorite music bands had 3 members with the same last name , but none of them were related! 😅) I think what really happened is that they meant to give them a relationship , but forgot. That has happened to me more times than I can count! 🤭🤦♀️😅Alternatively, you can give them your own story. Perhaps they are really mother and son, but Vernon is too embarrassed to admit to still living whith his mom, while Gladys might think not want to admit she has a grown son as it makes her look even older... which she might be doing in order not to scare off the much younger Chuck! Anyway, I hope you get the true answer.🤞 but in the meantime you can have fun with any of the things I suggested, or you might come up with even better ones! 🙌

@PugLove888 Hey! I vote for mother and son but the relationship, as you said, was inadvertently left out. I've done that before too! Also, maybe Gladys should hire Sarah Jessica Parker to intervene. ;-)@diavolosims I too am curious now about the true answer to your question. So, I also hope someone is able to provide it.

@JonaO703 , lol 😄 Yes, while I still am going with the "2 roommates with the same last name" scenario, I do feel that they were really meant to be mother and son, like you also suspected. It really is common to leave off relationships before hitting the "done" button! Usually for me, I forget to set as spouses the two adults I intended to be spouses, and then either have to cheat their relationship later, or else I have to get them married in the game. 😅 But I've also have forgotten to set as siblings some adults I made in CAS , and was so upset to have them be roommates only! 😓🤦♀️

I wonder if these 2 have fallen victim to a bug I've found with saved families. I keep noticing that when you create a family and save them, for example to your own library... the relationships immediately vanish.So I stopped saving my families to my library because if I was adding them back I'd almost always forget that they would just be roommates. I wonder if that's what's happened here.

My vote:They are mother and son, and were not marked as such because the base game lacked genealogy when released. (Justice for Johnny Zest!)

@simsplayer818 you could be right. But I don't know if there is a way to really check this out, unless the OP remembers if they downloaded them before the bug appeared or after. 🤷‍♀️

@PugLove888 Yeah I absolutely agree. It's been a really interesting one trying to figure it out!
But if it catches attention and it is the same bug, perhaps it will get addressed. I hope so anyway. I wasn't sure if it was by design or accident that the link is lost. Maybe we'll find out one day thanks to @diavolosims spotting these 2 interesting characters. 🤔
I love a mystery!

@simsplayer818 , yes, I agree -- @diavolosims has piqued my interest! Now I want to know for sure what the true relationship of these 2 Sims was supposed to be! 🧐😅

That's not possible, because EA has shared a render where both are children.

This image has the same sims as the original cover.
