Marking second cousins as family - Okay or not?
eevilcat:
Sleepycat: I have been enjoying your Riverhaven story. I've no idea how you keep up with the inheritance as my sim relationships are complicated enough without twiddling family flags.
On a related note, I was wondering how marriage affects how the game determines family relations. I haven't altered any family flags, yet some sims show lightning bolts but only have family interactions available. For example Baron Tamar married Patrick Ottomas (youngest of the fugly Ottomas spawn). Baron shows 3-bolt attractions for both of Patrick's half-alien twin sisters (who are in turn living in another house and married to Ramaswami spawn). When Baron invites either sister over, the lightning bolts are there but he only has family interactions available. I am running with both ACR and the romancemod so that may affect things.

I'm currently playing a neigbourhood with 5 playable families who interbreed on a rotation scheme. Come to think of it, that means that everyone is at least a second cousin by now.

I have nothing useful to add, but I think of Sims as like cats. Some of my favorite Sims have been inbred as Kentucky hillfolk*...though they didn't know it. One day you kind of go "wow, this neighborhood has a lot of redheads."
I understand your concern, though.
*I make this slur because I am one generation removed. These are my people. I can barely see the screen due to my crossed eyes.
I've always believed that there must be some sort of correlation between literacy and nightvision in inbred Kentucky hillfolk.* The less you can read, the better your nightvision. That's the only way I can explain the poorly lit roads there.
Thanks for go-ahead, JMP!
*I'm from Indiana, so I have to say this kind of thing about Kentuckians. It's nothing personal, just the natural order of things.

heh, the other day I realized I have a sim who can say "My niece (mothers side) gave birth to my Uncle (fathers side) ::)
Close but no cigar, you're not allowed to crow about it until one of your sims can say "I'm my own grandpa!" :)

There's a thread over on S2C about "scandals" of various kinds in players' neighborhoods, and one person posted about having used that song as inspiration for a storyline. I think it was that the father in Household A hooked up with the daughter in Household B, while the son in Household A hooked up with the mother in Household B, so he became his own father's stepfather.
