I don't know about TS3, I usually play single adults in TS3. Kids were just too boring.
But in TS2 in CAS we can't create a single mom with kids. Or even a single dad.
I guess because TS2 was all about mixing genes? and this was done by clicking the pacifier in CAS. I hope I can have these type of households in my game, created in CAS. Single mom with kids, and maybe her mom or dad, too. (Maybe she had to move back home or whatever) Or a single dad and kids with his dad or mom in the household, also.
I hope we get to make different families or households like an aunt..the mom's sister or whomever she is, and mark what relationship she is to the mom and the mom be able to have kids right in CAS.
Does TS3 allow us to have single parents in CAS. I hope TS4 allows us to create sinlge parent households in CAS. Or maybe no relation at all.
It would also be nice if teens could be created in CAS without adults, but I guess that is asking too much. At least allow us to have an aunt or someone like that in CAS with them instead of having to be a parent or grandma or someone.

I agree with a lot of what you said though.
I had posted about this too. I thought that choosing a random male sim to be the father just for the genetics but not actually be forced to play with him. Or make a male sim, make the female pregnant and not have to play with him because you simply wanted certain genetics. I din't think that would be too difficult.
Yes. It sucks having to kill off a parent if you want just a granparent/grandchild household. Because then all the sims are in grieving and have a bad mood
Like Party of Five.
Aside from these that people has mentioned, i would also like to create Adopted Sims in CAS. I would not like to just pretend they are adopted but let they know or something among these lines.
In TS2 you could make Single parents with a child, but in their memories still stated the child is theirs with the infamous Mystery Sim but not actually adopted.
Might be a good feature to create Stories too. :-)
The other method I used for making single parents was for my sims having affairs and not getting married. My male sims could do this in a full house of 8 and his love interest would get pregnant and then have the kid. My female sims could only do this if there was only 7 or less in the household.
I was thinking the same thing. I play that way a lot. I usually have a mom and a couple of kids. Works for me.
For the sake of my family tree I do like my child sims to have two identified parents rather than just a blank portrait where one of the parents is supposed to be but I also don't always want one of those parents to be living on the same lot. Sure, it only takes 5 minutes but it's 5 minutes I could be utilizing to wreck some virtual lives!
