Let's talk about the GENEALOGY tracking / DNA Testing System again

FULL ORIGINAL INFO POST ON WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT

I mentioned this in my post of yesterday, but in case you missed it, let me sum this up again. This stuff has been Partially done and sitting in my to do list for now a year, which is getting pretty stressful.

 it was in one of its aspects / settings NEARLY releasable already, and has been for all this time. Due to how I've been so far unable to find time to finish it, I worked on making releasable the aspect of it that was already nearly ready as its own thing.

So, What you ARE getting now:

•  automatic marking of family members: auto track and auto label for you up to great great grandparents / children, second cousins, first cousins twice removed / great grand aunts / nieces, and such. ("Choice A: all Sims automatically have their DNA in the database, and therefore, all relatives known = all relatives in existence.")

  • + auto-tracking of 'marital' extended family for sims in committed relationships (not just married)

What You are NOT getting yet:

• gameplay of having the sins discover their relatives through DNA testing, as opposed to auto labeling. ("Choice B: only Sims who decide to do DNA testing appear on the SimLines app and therefore only them exist in its database for other sims to find out a connection to them.")

  • WHY you aren't getting it yet: that system's core is mostly functional and has been for a year, BUT it does not have reactions, social interactions, etc, which are the parts that matter, so it's not ready to ship out.

HOW IT WORKS:

You don't need to do anything particular, just putting the files in your mods folder and launching the game, the system will do its work. For the genetic family part, it will also retroactively apply on your existing sims automatically.
