So. Pursuant to this DE a month or so ago, I have acquired a copy of The Sims 2. And so far, I am enjoying it. Even though I managed to not get the toddler in the first family I made toilet-trained before she aged up, and her demands to be let out of the crib absolutely wrecked her parents' sleep patterns.
But. One of the reasons I got it was to try running Golden Sun characters. And it's there I've encountered the problem.
First, some of them are not easily replicable in-game. Particularly the ones with blue hair. But that's okay, TS2 is very open to modifications, and plenty of people have made custom hairs and so on. Plenty. But then there's the second problem.
Naturally, one of the characters I want to make is Felix. And it would be silly to not concurrently make Jenna, given that she's both a fellow party member and his sister. The problem arises with the Family Tree requirement: every Sim in a given family must be related to, or be, at least one adult (or possibly elder; I haven't tried a family with elders but no adults). But Jenna, moreso than her agemates Isaac and Garet, strikes me as a teen Sim. So I go in, make an adult Felix and a teen Jenna... and it turns out there's no option to set an adult and a teen as siblings. Nor is there an option to set one adult as the child of another adult, so I can't just roll up a couple of parents and have them both be their kids.
So. The options, as I see them: 1) make Felix on his own; possibly make Jenna separately at a later time. 2) age Jenna to adult, and set them as siblings. 3) de-age Felix, and possibly Jenna, so that they're both juveniles; make parents, who may be able to be killed off when Felix is an adult. 4) just set Jenna as Felix's daughter, and live with it; what could possibly go wrong?
