Q&A: Royalty & Legacy

PREMADE UPDATES

Family Trees

Several premade families have connections that exist in lore/speculation but not officially in their family trees... Until now. The update we just had included several, but here are the ones related to the premades in this pack (as long as you have the other packs the Sims came in):


Laurent (via Thebes)

The original Cordelia (Cordelia I, aka Queen Thebe) has a family that branches into to 3 families by blood, and another 2 by marriage for a total of 5 families in the game connected to her descendant, Cordelia V, in some way:

[MWS] Laurent Family in Tartosa - Hector Laurent is the Great-great-grandson of Queen Thebe, but with her 3rd pirate boyfriend, Rodrigo de Pablo. They had a son together (Rodrigo Thebe), who later had a mystery child. That mystery child became a parent to Arnessa Thebe.

[R&L] Capp Family and Monty Family - Julliette and Tybalt are also the Great-great-grandchildren of Queen Thebe, via her Husband Etion's line, who she had a daughter called Andromache with. This is the only partner she officially married. Capps are related by blood, and the Monty's by Julliettes marriage to Romeo.

[R&L] Current Thebe Family - Current Cordelia (V), also a Great-great-grandchild of Queen Thebe, is descended via Cordelia I and her 4th pirate boyfriend, John Wilson Beard Beard. Yes, two beards (maybe he was particularly hirsute, we'll never know).

[R&L] Abrantes Family -  Cordelia V's in-laws. Mother and Teen sister of her Husband, Thiago.

Thebe Family Tree from Queen Thebe's POV:

Dreamer (via Darongs)

The Darong connection to the Dreamers is shown, as well as Adekoya's Secret Child when looking at the tree from his POV.

[GF] Dirk Dreamer - Jawara's (Darong Head) Grandfather Ade Darong was the brother of Dirk's Great-grandmother Lina Darong.

Alto

[GF] Holly Alto - Her and Enzo Alto are first cousins. Holly's father, Nick Alto, was the brother of Bert Alto, Enzo's dad.
