Adoption

I recently made a sim with the purpose to adopt. When it came time to adopt I got the option to choose from a bunch of different children from baby to child and it was pretty hard to just choose one. Anyways that got me thinking about how I wish there was a way to adopt siblings. I also wish that these children had little back stories and a family tree to show their original family with maybe even an option to look for biological parents as an adult. Anyhow my sims adopted a toddler boy and in CAS I played with genetics to make him an older sister. It was a sort of work around for adopting siblings.

    Being able to adopt siblings would be an awesome addition! Love the idea of the back stories and original parents but I could see that being sort of hard to develop. My guess is the kids are randomly generated so there may be no real biological parent in game if that makes sense. Great ideas though, I'd love to see the adoption process expanded.

    I'm not saying that it's as good as what you're suggesting, but if you're adopting a toddler or a child, you could always go into cas and make them a sibling. A bit tricky with babies though, since we don't know what they'll actually look like.

    @a_niles06 apparently 'adopted' children have bio mothers..since I know when my sims adopted, more 'parents' show up via Not in world with at least ONE child.

    In an old save, my gay couple adopted a child, later I aged him up to teen and created a younger brother for him in CAS.

    I find that instead of adopting, sometimes its best to just do stuff in CAS. You can add foster children that way or as in my case add a sibling.

    Ooh I would love to be able to adopt siblings and see who their real family is.

    I concur. Ideas you have presented are indeed appealing. It is unfortunate and babies are little more than a screaming furniture and children are...shallow.

    I have had Eliza and Bob Pancakes be foster parents in my save (they 'adopted' Lucas Munch after fostering) and now the foster/adopted son has children, and it would have been nice to have the Pancakes acknowledged as a adoptive grand parents, if we could edit relationships. I also would love the ability to adopt siblings and have a back story (like adopted children IRL)
