I started the household with four teens, unrelated - spellcaster, vampire, mermaid, and alien and all four have this 'Super Sibling - a great relationship with ally siblings, blood or not' relationship with each other. Is it because they are all occults?Would it impact the romantic relationship between the two? They've since aged up and the female is pregnant and when she tells the father he acts like it's not his, he just gets the happy moodlet because of a family member, not his own child. He's also self-absored, I don't know if that would have anything to do with his reaction.

This does not have anything to do with occults, I've seen this in my normal human sims. As long as they are not blood-related, and you have an option for romantic interactions, they can get married to each other. A while back I was playing a household with 3 teens, two boys, and a girl, and none of them were related to each other. While they were teens I did not get them involved with each other, but after they became young adults, two of them became romantically involved and did get married to each other. They had the super sibling relationship.

I had no idea this was even a thing, and I'm not quite sure I understand it completely. How can they be 'siblings' if they're not related?

@ShadyLady89 It has to do with the type of relationship they had before they became young adults, the closeness, the bond they share.

Some of those came with the Parenthood pack and were designed for siblings/step-siblings. If those Sims used those interactions and it contributed to their relationship, it would trigger that relationship trait regardless of their blood relation (probably to allow for joined families and siblings who aren't blood-related at all in those).

Strange. I thought these sims get the special sibling relationship after becoming young adults:
Full-siblings (those who share same parents with the sims)
Half-siblings
If child's parents aren't in the same household, then caretaker's children and their other dependents.

These special relationships with parents, grandparents, and siblings came in Parenthood game pack.

As in my brother from a different mother type thing? This is truly weird.

I thought it was basically for sims who grew up together. It says, blood or not, so they must not have to be related. I've only seen it with step-siblings.

I dont think it matters if they use parenthood specific interactions, just that they live together when they age up to young adult and have a strong friendship. If I think there may be romance in the future I keep them in seperate houses.

A sweet innocent girl grew up besides a peeping sim, they become super siblings despite no connection between them. the peeing sim moves out and then proceeds to look in through windows an hour later, enjoying watching his super sibling walking around in her smalls.

in someways i can understand what @GalacticGal is saying a few posts above. it does seem a bit... odd. more so if the peeping sim is caught by his super sibling and then he is invited in without losing any friendship score. okay, this is really getting creepy, i'm gonna stop.
