Making Sim Twins
Zazazu:
You have to set the relationships for both brothers to each other and for the kids towards their new uncle/uncle to new nieces and nephews. Not sure about cousin-to-cousin as I haven't done it since forever ago. The relationship changes don't like to cascade like they should.

I'm no expert on the matter and I may be completely wrong. (If so, someone will come along and correct me and you'll get useful information.)
I don't think the game even knows twins are twins once they've been born. If I'm not mistaken, you could create some really messed up twins (without using any hacks) by just buying a birthday cake and forcing one twin to grow up as early as possible in each stage while keeping the other one "young" as long as possible. You might even be able to get one to adulthood while the other is still a child.
I think you're probably right. After having gone through just about everything I could think of to go through in SimPE and doing more searches it does indeed look like the game doesn't actually classify any sims as "twins". Ah well. Thanks for the reply at least.
Madame Mim:
On the subject of the marking as reletives you have to mark it in two places - in 'relationships' under Sim Description (and mark it for everybody as it seems the ties are generated at birth etc) and under Family Ties (for it to appear in the family tree). Although you only mark siblings, parents and children under Family Ties as there are no links for more 'distant' reletives.
As for the twins question. The Sims themselves will only know that they are siblings, but there is twins marker that you can add. It doesn't mark them as twins it marks them as more likely to concieve twins. It's a token in memories - so you can't do it if you're running a Seasons game (until SimPE is updated), but any other version should work.
Basically you 'add' a token in the memories and then alter it to read
Properties Tab
Token: Token - Pregnancy - Modifier
Raw Data Tab
Length: 2 (and then click the 'set' button
Line 00: 0x0009
Line 01: 0xfffb
Then check back on the Properties Tab and the 'Value' should now read 9 (it was zero before you editted the Raw Data). Commit and Save.
If all of this doesn't make sence then have a look at Pleasant View. Joe Carr always has a twins modifier in his memory.

I'm not sure, but I think the Caliente sisters should have the twins tokens too.

Thanks Mim - that was one of the things I had a note to ask you about since you do this sort of thing so much. I have to set Horace and Henry Vaughan back to twins in the newly re-created Little Carping. I have never had twins look more alike in game. I have to dress them differently to tell them apart.
