Talk:Matrilineal families

The Sims 2 family tree for Malcolm Landgraab IV, as well as his name, shows that his branch of the family is definitely not matrilineal. As for the branch shown in TS3, Geoffrey taking Nancy's last name could be a one-off. Dharden 16:55, October 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * Apparently, the IP adding this family here has not played the Sims 2. However, since we are basing the events in the Sims in a chronological order, the Sims 2 (most recent) family tree is in effect. As such, remove the Landgraab family. :D - JEA13  [ iTalk  ] 16:58, October 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * But actually, the IP mentions that only the Sims 3 Landgraab family tree is matrilineal, so it is fine as it is now. - JEA13  [ iTalk  ] 17:01, October 23, 2009 (UTC)

Rethinking
Nancy appears to be the only married, pre-made female Landgraab who was definitely born into the family. Her mother and paternal grandmother appear to have married into the family, and to have taken the Landgraab name when they did.

As for the Greenman Family, would the concept even apply to a PlantSim society in which reproduction is asexual? Dharden 20:36, March 2, 2010 (UTC)

Yup, she was originally a spore plantbaby, and we know spore plantbabies are all girls. So yeah, technically there cannot be patrilineal plantsim families. And yep, the landgraabs do not count as matrilineal. (Actually, Geoffrey is implied to be the brother of Nick Knack. Apparently, Nick and Geoffrey were poor while growing up, so they married influential ladies.) 94.37.98.213 (talk) 13:51, June 2, 2014 (UTC)
