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

I'd hope, but I am not holding my breath.

Oooh, nice catch! I didn't think about that. Wow, I wish they'll expand the current relationship options, they're really lacking right now.

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

Yes, and in my game they want to kiss so I brought in some fresh blood.

LOL ewwww

Yeah, this is Strangerville, not Shelbyville!

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 :)

But I'm talking about more relationships without all of that workaround. @Simmerville Anyway, I'm ok with them adding another cousin to the family tree, its not a major change to the lore as we can think we never knew her because she was living far away or whatever. What I don't like is what they made to the premades like Cassandra being way younger than Don, Dina and Nina or Johnny Zest being older than Malcolm when in Sims 3 Malcolm was their first kid/heir. A cousin is just a cousin.

I think you're not the first to say we can create a bunch of family to have cousins, but I'm talking about more relationships without all of that workaround. @Simmerville Anyway, I'm ok with them adding another cousin to the family tree, its not a major change to the lore as we can think we never knew her because she was living far away or whatever.

Ah, okay. I totally want complete family trees and I often make up names and portraits of anyone needed just to get it right, if not in game, at least in my on-the-side notes :) Btw there's several mismatches between TS3 and TS4 because they called it an alternative universe (just to make it easier for themselves perhaps). I like to se the lines through all the sims games, but sometimes I just had to cut it and simply set for one option.

If we can now play the Crumpletons I will need to find a way to make them reproduce... might be tricky as they are both elderly, LOL. Hopefully we can access them in CAS.

@simmerville I'm not sure about Agnes, since she seems to be a special character with unique interactions (like hitting the purse and all of that, which I was hoping to be a new trait that only she has as a premade but we can use in our own manner), but maybe thats why they added Agatha? Agnes doesn't seem like the type that would have kids after a lot of marriages gone wrong, but Agatha could keep the family line going.
