Sims 3 family biography questions

  • I rediscovered the bio area in the scrap book and the bio button in CAS. I've decided I want to fill it, but have no idea what to put.
  • I'm trying to fill up a town with my own, custom sims with backstories, instead of just using spawnmoreoverlords and calling it a day.
  • I'm trying to add dead sims to the family tree, but I am not finding a way to select their names.
  • A question or two about family trees and deceased sims

    I'm combing through everything I can find relating to the construction of family trees for the sims in Lucky Palms, especially since I've learned that most of the ones that are shipped as dead in the graveyard look like they're supposed to be related to living playables. I think I've got the method well enough from this thread, at least to start with.

    However, in another thread, Chain says: "If he is EA those ghosts have data inconsistencies that are better wiped out." So I just want to make sure: this is talking about resurrection, right? I have no intention of resurrecting these sims, I just want them in the family trees. That would be okay, right?

    Another family tree question: I forget actually what depth I set the family tree at, but I think the EA default is 4 generations, right? If I leave it alone, will it sever the deceased sims to create the allowed depth of family tree, or will it just not display more than 4 generations? For example, if I have a family that's really 9 generations deep, will the game ignore 5 generations in display and in family behavior, but depending on which sims's family tree I'm looking at? So if I'm looking at the newest generation, "Famil

    I have had the same problem. It’s really annoying, family tree and a sims legacy is a fundamental part of the game.

    It seems to be worse if sims have children through multiple partners.

    It is well known and has been like it whilst a few game updates have come out, so presumably is not an easy fix.

    I'll leave it yeah? Let you get on.

    '' It seems to be worse if sims have children through multiple partners. ''

    How is that possible? Or do you mean the frequency of the problem? Because I don't see how not being able to see your family tree can get any worse.

    Sorry Ronnet, I should have explained that better.

    Yes regarding frequency, for me the problem only seems to start occurring once the family tree gets ‘complicated’. Where I have had simple ‘nuclear’ families I have had a nu
