At times, Sims who do not stay loyal to their spouse or commit somewhat incestuous acts by marrying relatives often create conflicts when it comes to labeling family relationships. Below are some of the examples:
At times, Sims who do not stay loyal to their spouse or commit somewhat incestuous acts by marrying relatives often create conflicts when it comes to labeling family relationships. Below are some of the examples:
*If a man has kids with two women who happen to be sisters, his two children will be both half-siblings and first cousins.
*If a man has kids with two women who happen to be sisters, his two children will be both half-siblings and first cousins. In real life, aforementioned children in this situation would be labeled "three-quarter siblings", but that kind of serious coding would be too deep and potentially affect other things.
*Because ''The Sims 3'' only recognizes the first cousins (the children of a Sim's parent's sibling) and is only considered an Aunt/Uncle if she/he is the sister/brother of the Sim's parent, therefore, it is possible for a Sim to marry their parents' first cousins. The Sim's parent will originally see their cousin as "Cousin" but will see them as "Daughter/Son-In-Law", regardless of their age.

The Sim's parent will originally see their cousin as "Cousin" but will see them as "Daughter/Son-In-Law", regardless of their age.
*Excessively adulterous Sims can have as many children as they want. Because they are only related through one parent, half-siblings can marry their half-siblings' other parent. This will consider them as both half-sibling and step-parent. A step-child is only labeled as one if one of his/her parents marries another spouse. Therefore, if his/her biological parent dies, she/he can opt to marry his former-step parent and have children with him/her. If they have children, their child will be the half-sibling/nephew/niece of any child the former-step parent and his/her former spouse have.
