More relationship types coming in the next expansion pack's pre-update?

I hope so! And while they're at it, I read a post a couple days ago stating that Agnes Crumplebottom and Mortimer Goth are related, so I hope they don't ignore that.

I didn't pay much attention to the fact they were said to be cousins. You brought up a very interesting point. :)

@greydonn she's Mortimer's aunt, and Cornelia's sister. I would love if the game recognized them as family, but I'm not sure the devs can do that in the engine while adding a new world, we might have to do that ourselves later (i just hope we have a way to do that without adding all the other family member,s if not I have a recreation of the Sims 3 Goths and I might age up Cornelia and Gunther to add them in my games. hehe

@QueenMercy I believe Sims 1 is the same Agnes from Sunset Valley, but older. The one thats harder to connect is the Sims 2 one. We have her in the Goth family tree dead, but we also have a Ms. Crumplebottom in downtown smacking her purse on nasty sims haha Maybe she's Agnes daughter, or they could even make her be Agatha's daughter. I would love to see the connection, but I think Agnes and Agatha are the only family members coming for now. Maybe in Sims 5 we can have a proper family tree connecting all of them.

@Paigeisin5 yes, more family relations in CAS is something that's been asked for a lot of times and for a long time.

Not sure that this would mean getting more relationships in CAS, though (as much as I want that). You can already create a relationship by using genetics then deleting the older-generation Sims. They might not even have done that but just made them cousins in the Sim household info.

I don't think it'll be a selectable relationship, but they'll probably just have premade family trees.

Guys, am I missing something?? Don't we already have cousins in the game?

The topic made me think more relationships were confirmed until I opened it.

Edit: We already have Cousins in CAS. If you create an elderly sim, then two adults kids of that sim, and give each of those two a child, you'll see that the game automatically branded them cousins. So, you simply need to create the relatives that makes two sims cousins.

I don't expect them to have a common family tree. I think they said "cousin" as in saying they are not very close family (not sisters), but have the same family name. A cousin gets more vague as they don't even need to state whether it is via the father or mother.

I don't think EA should change family relations of sims that we have played since 2014. Many simmers made up their own stories, and I see it as weird if EA wanted to conflict with what simmers already set up. I never played the Goths but I'd be a little upset if they added changes to other pre-made sims that I do or did play.

Anyway, would be cool to learn their family history somehow :)

I honestly don't think they'll add it with this patch. But honestly if they ever do a Generations EP and won't add additional family relations with a pre-patch I'm gonna... cry in my emo corner a lot I guess.

In TS3 Agnes Crumplebottom was Cornelia Goth’s younger sister, but there’s no guarantee that they’ll take that route since she’s apparently only the TS1 version and not the TS2 one anyway?
