Regarding the original topic, I went through with SimPE and marked all of the three Curious brothers + Jenny Smith + Lola and Chloe Singles as "family" and "siblings". Yet, despite being seen as family, Chloe has options to Flirt with Vidcund and Lazlo. I don't know whether this is a bug in the game, or a bug in SimPE (could it be that although I ticked the box in SimPE, the game can't read the correction?). I
I don't think it has anything to do with SimPe since I have never used it. I created a new family the other night, mom, 2 teen daughters and a teen son, the teenagers have the option to "flirt" with each other. I am quite perplexed (and kind of grossed out) as to how this could be.
Ancient Sim:
I've noticed another one now. My first vampire in the game has 1 or 2 flashes (can't remember) for her stepfather, the townie Amin Sims. He married her mother when she was still a child (the vampire, not the mother) so has basically brought her up, although she's been left home quite some time and is 3 days off elder now. They've never been marked as family and of course they're not related, hence the flashes. Nevertheless, neither of them can perform more than "Family Kiss" and "Friendly Hug". Seems weird that it gives them these flashes, yet they can't act on them. There's a lot of confusion as to who is family and who isn't by the looks of it.
The only other explanation for all these anomalies is that the game is actually taking things like aspiration and personality into account, then again that doesn't really work in the case of Desdemona & Jonathan because they're both Knowledge and both have exactly the same personality profile. Damn, thought I'd hit on something there. Would have made sense, too. I can see a Family Sim not wanting to 'carry-on' with their mother-in-law, but a Romance Sim probably wouldn't care two hoots.

Some in-laws exist in a kind of indetermine half-family half-not-family way, where some family options are available (Encourage, Family Kiss), but others are not. It is unknown why this occurs, as it doesn't happen consistently.

It's probably supposed to happen consistently, but since it's triggered by an in game event it's prone to the same weirdness as the memory related LTWs.
