I was thinking of MyHeritage, but it's really for actual people and I don't want to mess up the AI of the site with matching my sims with possible real people haha. I might just go to Family Echo, it's a basic site that doesn't link anything to anyone else

Actually I might be thinking of the other one, Ancestry or whatever it is

You can tell it to not synch with the site. Like I said, I use it for my writing (and, yes, my own family tree, but that's the only one I let talk to the site.)

Oh! Thanks for letting me know. I will have to have a look at it!

I was going to suggest Family Echo as it works well for me, but I see you mentioned it. That is what I get for posting before reading all the posts lol.

Yeah, it's a simple family tree, just wish I can add my own sections for information.

I made family trees of my main save there, so I'm sad to see it go. I didn't use it very actively though. Thanks for the info!

Just found out about it a little earlier. I have 3 (technically 4) family trees on there and have been doing some rescuing of them via taking pictures and videos of the trees so I can move them to a new spot. One of them is a dud legacy, wound up losing interest for some reason. The largest is my Willoughby historical family from Sims 3 that I 'transferred' to Sims 4 after I encountered an error that pretty much wrecked my save despite my careful cleaning of the files. Was only so much I could do but the old tree I had did manage to resurrect them. Started a new tree continuing from where I'd left and I've done little videos on both for the move.
Any recommendations on what other family tree apps or sites I could use? I feel a bit weird using ones for ACTUAL people, I don't want some random person mistaking one of my sims for their long lost uncle because they have a similar name, it's why I'm hesitant to use Family Echo. Is it private by default or do you have to alter the settings?

Don't they provide some export file routine, in order to transfer info to another system?

Reading this I'm so glad I programmed my own tree. Sorry for you all, knowing how much time you have invested.

Any suggestions on alternative family tree apps or sites?

I didn’t use it much, but know it’s been useful for some Simmers. I wonder if anyone will come up with an alternative?
