No, this isn't an incestuous issue.
I had two teen females call the matchmaker for a blind date. They both paid top dollar. Sydney got a boy named Knut Baine. They got along well and are now going steady. But that's not the issue, either. Colleen got a boy named Sean Love, which also worked out well. This is what I am trying to figure out: I looked in Sean's family tree and noticed that Knut was listed there, as if he was a sibling. There were also several others, all different names, different skintones, etc. Didn't see a mother, but the father was there. I think his last name was Truceau, or something. When I clicked on his family tree, I saw several relations, many named Truceau, and it looked like a normal family tree. But he wasn't showing Knut, Sean, or any others in his tree. It's as if he was single with no kids.

I know townies are all lumped together, I think they're Bendett and Wilson in NL, but they don't show up in each other's family trees. Has anyone played anyone from the Truceau family, or has anyone used the blind date feature and checked out the family trees? This is obviously for the game-generated sims. I'm all confuzzled. Yet again.

You had me, then with that sentence lost my attention.

Got the same thing. Downtownies are arbitrarily connected in their family trees: Sims will show as eachother's siblings, but their "parents" will not have them in the tree as children, etc..

Last names are not identical, nor is DNA.

So sorry, sanmonroe. if you'd like, I can make something up... ;)

Thanks, Jordi. I guess with every EP they'll organize the townies differently.

No, there is just something wrong about requesting sims incest fanfiction. I will not ask for that.

And my guide to incest on the BBS just vanished. :mad:

Not that there's anything inherently wrong with incest: without it the royal families of the world wouldn't exist (nor half the American south :-p )

Why did you prove the first half of what you said wrong with the second half of what you said?

Ha ha. I live in Georgia.
And my mom is also my grandfather.

Townies are all adopted.

You always crack me up; yes, I was cringing when I opened this thread and waiting for the "the matchmaker set my sim up with her uncle/cousin/brother" scenario. :o

I really resent it when people lump all southerners together labelling them "rednecks" and a "bunch of inbreds."  Not all southerners are like that; in fact, it is a small minority.  It is wrong to stereotype people like that.

He said half, not ALL.

But looking it up on www.internetBBSstylestats.com I found it to be 49.9%. So it is a minority.

The most expensive house downtown has a cemetary and this is where the entire family is buried. You can click on the headstones and the names show up. All the family tree is dead and there is only one living member left. This is the same name as in my Pleasantville and I am sure the same family. The cemetary is there so you can move the graves to the community lot for active ghosts if that part of the game worked and the gravestones did not keep diasppearing for people...or so I have read.

I'll have to check out the family tree of those graves. I'm currently playing that house, and the ghosts are very active. I have to clear them off because they'll slow my game to a crawl when they all decide to show up at once!

See if you can resurrect one of them.  That might shut the rest of them up.  (I don't have any sims rich enough to buy that house yet.)
