Small improvement I'd like to see

[surprised_by_witches]

This is just a minor thing that's been bugging me: I don't know why the game stops family relationships at 3 generations. I would like to see at least 4, and 5 would be great.

Right now I've got four living generations in my game and I'd really like it if Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa had a family relationship with the great-grandkids. They keep getting wants for more grandkids, and their kids are all approaching elder (or are vampires, LOL). In any case, the likelihood of more grandbabies is small. Great-grandbabies, now, that's a different story.

But the game doesn't show their great-grandchildren as family members. :(

So, anyway, just a small enhancement I'd like to see.

i think if this was the case then everyone in my neighbourhood would be related... that would not be good...?

But the game doesn't show their great-grandchildren as family members. :(How do you mean? I've been so wrapped up with Errol and friends that I haven't played with later generations since Dear Emmy. But in that family, if I looked at the family tree of Emmeline I could trace it back to the founding Duke Sparrow, her great grandfather.

Do you mean wants? Is 'family kiss' not available for Great Grandma?

No, I mean in the relationships panel. Great-grandparents simply don't show up as family. They're in the family tree if you go back far enough, but they don't get the little blue "family" icon. Castor and Zaire, for example, don't show up as family in Fisher's (their great-grandson's) relationship panel, but Alice and Chuck (Fisher's paternal grandparents) do.

Great-grandparents don't get "credit" for great-grandbabies being born and have no desires around them. However, I have noticed that if they kiss or something it is "family" related.

To answer your question Caduto, with this request the only relationship that would be added is that of the great-grandparents to their direct descendants. Cousins more than once removed would still be able to date.

As far as I can tell anyway.

Yea I think that would be a good thing to have. They are still family after all.
