Question for those who have done Generations in other Sims!

I know we don't have info on how S4 is going to work but in the others... could you link grandparents that were already made and moved into their own house as grandparents?

You can do this now via Manage Households and the cas.fulleditmode cheat. Sims have to be in the same household to add familial links in CAS:


  • Combine the households via Split & Merge (I recommend leaving at least 1 sim in each household to keep finances/home ownership intact. Maybe just move in 1 parent with their parents to form the bonds, for example).
  • Turn on CAS Full Edit Mode.
  • Edit the combined household to add the Grands as parents to the Parent sim.
  • Split & Merge the households again via Manage Households to move sims back where they started.
  • Enter the Parent household and check the family tree via each sim to check connections.


    I also use this method to reconnect Johnny Zest to the Landgraabs (he might not be their son, but that makes the most sense to me based on ages and lack of other Landgraabs).

    If making fresh sims you could also just make the Grand(s) and Parent(s) first in CAS (2-6 sims), place and split off the Grand(s) into separate household(s), before re-entering CAS via the Parent family and adding kids.
