"Adopted" sisters

Six weeks ago, I bought the Parenthood GP and I love it! After playing with it almost every day, I thought I had discovered every feature but I was wrong. Yesterday I found out Something that makes me love it even more.
In my Parenthood save, I created a family and was planning to play it like a sort of legacy (at least for 10 generations). But sometimes I got bored of them (especially when the triplets were toddlers and then when they went through phases after aging up to kids). In those moments, I played with another household for one to three Simdays. I started playing with Don Lothario and his wife. They had three children (one child boy and two toddler girls). I created a club for Don, made him woohoo a bunch of women and get a divorce. But since he spent more time with the ladies than with his own daughters, social services came for them. Thanks to mccc, they were adopted by the Delgato family.
Later I played one day with the Delgatos in order to work on Evie's skills (because she was the girlfriend of one of my Sims). I noticed that Don's daughters were still listed as his in the family tree (to prevent immoral relationships I guess). Evie's friendship bar with both of her adopted sisters was quite high but I was a little disappointed they were not officially sisters...
Now a couple Simweeks later, Evie and her boyfriend aged up to young adults and moved in together. As I was playing with them, I saw her thinking about family members a few times. First her brother, then her mother, and then both of her adopted sisters! I didn't understand what was happening since the game did not recognize them neither as biological sisters nor as adopted ones. But when I checked in Evie's relationship panel, they had a new relationship status "childhood buds".
So when a child (whoever he is) grows up with others, they get a sibling relationship. I find that absolutely amazing! I am so happy that Evie considers the two little girls to be her sisters!
I think I am going to recreate that kind of situation one more time to make sure it really is a thing.
Sorry for the long text but I just found it really cool and I wanted to share that with all of you!
Happy simming!

I love this pack. It's so well done.
I thought these relationships were precious as the story was that while their mother barely had time for him he grew close to his nanny, though she married his brother. He had a perfect spot in his family, I don't think the family exists anymore but I'd love to play them again if I found them buried on my gallery somewhere.
All the sims err'day
