marriage and last names.
ZephyrZodiac:
Or a simpler idea might just be whichever parent has the most best friends!

This prestige based last name business sounds most interesting. Would be useful for when I go on one of my tribal organization kicks.
If a family name that I like (stupid townie names are exempt from this) is in danger of dying out due to having no married couples with it that are having more kids and no unmarried males, I usually have one female sim with the name have a kid before she gets married. (With her future husband, of course, to avoid weirdness in the family tree. I can deal with alien necessitated weirdness, but I avoid any other case of sims having kids with more than one sim.) I got into that habit after it happened accidentally and fortuitously, because I had a couple being weird and not rolling up get engaged wants, so I was putting it off, but the woman (family sim) did want to have a baby.
I've got to start keeping my own records of my sims genealogies. I've got a program for it, and it can output all sorts of different nifty things, not just the Sims 2 tree.
ZephyrZodiac:
Alternatively, you could have a female sim have a gay relationship and join union, usin her name. Then you can go into simPE, treat one of them as male, and they can have as many babies as you want with the family name.

I've never tried the 'treat as female/male' option ZZ. Is that all it does, make the sim able to become pregnant? Can you safely turn them back to the proper (displayed) gender when they are done with the pregnancy? I'm always afraid I mess up my sim or my files when trying something out. I probably should do what many players do and build an experiment neighborhood, but I do have so little time to do anything lately :D

ZephyrZodiac:
Yes, you can just turn them back again. The only thing it does apart from let them either get pregnant (if male) or make pregnant (if female) is their voice changes! They look the same and still wear the same clothes - but male sims who get pregnant this way don't get the green alien maternity smock! And if their partner is totally turned off the opposite sex, it doesn't affect their own relationship, so I guess they are still really the original sex, just with modifications!
