Is it possible to adopt relatives with the Life and Death Pack?

While I don't have the answer to your specific 'Family Relationships'  question, I have to admit that I think it would be great if we had the ability to add and adjust different levels of intersim familial relationships. You know, after their original CAS creation. with some kind of cheat code. I have sim families that I created back when TS4 just came out, and it would be great to adjust those family designations now. I can see making it so we could only adjust those relationships with the sims that we created on our own, rather than the Townie sims and ones we dl from the gallery. 

Just a thought.

I thought there was an "Adopt as Caregiver" option? Would that work if it's available?

Really? I'm not sure I remember hearing of that one. That would be a neat option to have; well, as long as it's not just for child sims to use if their parent/s die. I'll have to keep an eye out for that choice.

Can't remember all the details but I believe it's an option your adult (non-parent) sim can do via their phone's "home" button with a child in the same household.

djsboonieGameGirl2168aAdopting as a caregiver doesn't change the relationship as far as I know. It is not a way to official adopt. To use adopt as caregiver they dont even have to be part of the same household. I think it just gives your sim more care related activities when interacting with the child

torifaith470I haven't heard of the option to adopt a specific child. So I don't think we can. Though I dont have life and death. 

I had a sim adopt his new wifes kids, so you should be able too. The problem was when he adopted them their biological father was removed completely from the family tree. This was a few months ago, I think the option is under the relationship category now. It is different than care dependent.

I think "adopt as a caregiver" comes with Parenthood gamepack, it doesn't change family tree but kids can get those relationship bits that came with the pack when growing young adults (like daddy dearest etc.).

Then if I remember right, Growing Together introduced a new way to adopt and it also changes the family tree so previous parents disappear etc. Can't remember if this was patched to basegame or is it ep exclusive.
