real parents and adoptions
Madame Mim:
As Ness said you can still get them back from there and as Gwill said - trees are severed at adoption - so you simply look for the child in the default (I think) family and move them in from there.
If the family tree has been severed you basically have to go back and reconnect everybody in two places in SimPE. This can be a PITA if you have been playing this game for generations.
You have to add and set the relationship type to every family member under the relationships tab of the Sim Description and you have to do it again for 'immeadiate' family - mum, dad, siblings in the Family Ties panel. The Sim Description/Relationships panel sets the family bond between the Sims while the Family Ties panel builds the actual tree that you see when you click on the special icon under the relationships panel in the game.
Of course if you've adopted them on you'd have to first remove all the new connections and then re-establish the 'old' ones. Messy. And just as likely to lead to a fubar if you miss anything or (as is normal) there's another setting that we either don't know about or just haven't been able to find yet.

i have done it in simpe, thats why I would like to know why its not possible to make a hack that prevents the conections from been cut in the first place. It would be fine to set the new parents as undefined relatives, or not?

Thanks Madame Mim, I was having issues because I'd somehow forgotten about the Family Ties panel. Fawn found herself an orphan when everyone else in her household died in a pool-meets-lightning accident on her uncle Edge's birthday. The social worker took her overnight, while Charisma the Freak moved in the house. When Charisma adopted her, her great grand aunt was suddenly mommie. (More like mommie dearest). Fixed now.
