Once the twins are born, you can use SimPE to change the family tree but you can't change the genetics.  (They probably look better if Peter is not their dad, though -- he makes UGLY babies!).  If you can't use SimPE, you're just out of luck, I'm afraid.

Yes, I'm afraid I've never used SimePE and I'm too scared to try it. What is the worst thing that could happen whilst using it? Is it possible to actually make your games unreadable or something equally terrible? If not, I might consider it. :p

Couldn't they use Insim? You can remove family ties with Insim and then reset them to the right family member. Easy enough for those who are too terrified of Simpe, there is very little they could actually get confused about, especially if they use Insim object edition because then they could just use the relationship object and would only be fooling around with the options related to the relationships.

Insiminator is very easy to use, is it? Is there anything I could do on it that would potentially annihilate my game? Thank you, I'll see about that.

phyllis_p:
Before making changes to your game with any kind of editor, it's always advisable to make a back-up in case something doesn't go well.  Yes, you could mess up your neighborhoods or characters, but if you've made a back-up, you're in good shape.

SimPE has gotten easier and easier to use over the years, in my opinion. Still, it can be a bit overwhelming if you don't feel confident in your ability to pick up and use unfamiliar software.  Based on your questions, I don't think I'd recommend that you use it.

Oh, I didn't know Insim could do that -- have never used it.


Doesn't TJ's Simblender do this as well?

Zazazu:
Yes, it does. I use the SimBlender a lot to set up my jerked over townie families. Dayuma's quadruplet siblings are actually the genetic children of her and her grandfather and born of her body, yet they show properly as siblings using the Blender. The grandfather doesn't show properly on their tree due to the fact that they have no parents, for all purposes.  The Valerios....Walter is genetically the parent of his brother Nicolas, who was co-fathered by Flint Kitamura. But with the Blender, severed ties to Flint so that he doesn't show as family and Walter shows as a sibling.

And so on and so forth...a good 1/4 of my families wouldn't be possible without liberal use of Inge's teleporter cat and TJ's SimBlender. Plus, Free Love household group marriage had issues with half the relationships not posting over as marriages. Fixed now.

Changing relationships with SimPE is easier than it looks. I used to do it that way all the time, but it's so much quicker to use the Blender if I don't have anything else that requires SimPE at the time.

phyllis_p:
I've never used SimBlender, either.  Once I started using SimPE, that was it.
