You can edit (create) family ties in SimPE.  Just remember to use the backup facility in case you cause a spontaneous family combustion ;)

This is the Larson family that I'm using to give you an example to work from, I've first selected jason in the left-hand panel.  Kate Larson isn't actually related to Jason, so I've right-clicked on her in this panel and added her to the family.

She defaults to being Jason's new sister, but I could also make her a child, parent, or spouse.

The 'Keep Consistent' checkbox on the bottom-right is to make sure that when you commit changes, the relationships work in both directions.

You first need to use the Neighbourhood browser to pick out Strangetown, or load the package file for that neighbourhood yourself, and click on Family Ties as above.

Bear in mind that changing family ties may not have the desired effect if the memories of the two Sims conflict - for example, if Sim A remembers having had Sim B as a child, they'll continue to treat them as children.
