    Is this a new thing or just something I've not seen before? I started the household with four teens, unrelated - spellcaster, vampire, mermaid, and alien and all four have this 'Super Sibling - a great relationship with ally siblings, blood or not' relationship with each other. Is it because they are all occults?
    Would it impact the romantic relationship between the two? They've since aged up and the female is pregnant and when she tells the father he acts like it's not his, he just gets the happy moodlet because of a family member, not his own child. He's also self-absored, I don't know if that would have anything to do with his reaction.

      This does not have anything to do with occults, I've seen this in my normal human sims. As long as they are not blood-related, and you have an option for romantic interactions, they can get married to each other. A while back I was playing a household with 3 teens, two boys, and a girl, and none of them were related to each other. While they were teens I did not get them involved with each other, but after they became young adults, two of them became romantically involved and did get married to each other. They had the super sibling relationship.

      I had no idea this was even a thing, and I'm not quite sure I understand it completely. How can they be 'siblings' if they're not related?

      @ShadyLady89 It has to do with the type of relationship they had before they became young adults, the closeness, the bond they share.

      Hmm strange - I thought Parenthood only gives this relationship to actual siblings or half-siblings, not roommates?

      This has to be a glitch. You should report it on the AHQ bug forum. So far as I know only siblings, half-siblings or siblings by adoption should have that relationship status.

      It's likely based off of interactions the Sims did as Teens. Some of those came with the Parenthood pack and were designed for siblings/step-siblings. If those Sims used those interactions and it contributed to their relationship, it would trigger that relationship trait regardless of their blood relation (probably to allow for joined families and siblings who aren't blood-related at all in those).

      Strange. I thought these sims get the special sibling relationship after becoming young adults:
      • Full-siblings (those who share same parents with the sims)
      • Half-siblings
      • If child's parents aren't in the same household, then caretaker's children and their other dependents.

      These special relationships with parents, grandparents, and siblings came in Parenthood game pack.

      As in my brother from a different mother type thing? This is truly weird.

      I thought it was basically for sims who grew up together. It says, blood or not, so they must not have to be related. I've only seen it with step-siblings.

      Okay, now I'm worried. I have a household like the one the OP mentioned, and I can't remember if they've used any of those interactions or not. :s

      I dont think it matters if they use parenthood specific interactions, just that they live together when they age up to young adult and have a strong friendship. If I think there may be romance in the future I keep them in seperate houses.

      A sweet innocent girl grew up besides a peeping sim, they become super siblings despite no connection between them. the peeing sim moves out and then proceeds to look in through windows an hour later, enjoying watching his super sibling walking around in her smalls.

      in someways i can understand what @GalacticGal is saying a few posts above. it does seem a bit... odd. more so if the peeping sim is caught by his super sibling and then he is invited in without losing any friendship score. okay, this is really getting creepy, i'm gonna stop.

      It's not based on interactions. Teens that live in the same household when they age up will get that relationship bit. You can avoid it by moving one of them out during the other teen ages up to adult. I've done that several times and it works like a charm.

      I haven't played past the second generation in my main save as teens, so I've never seen this. Thank you to everyone for clarifying.

      my sim and her wife have this super sibling relationship and it makes me so uncomfy LMAO

      i still have no clue why..? they met when they were both YA so they shouldn't have "triggered" anything prior.

      Do you use mods?

      Sounds like a bug to me. You could always try to send your save to the EA-bug-people.

      I have that, too! I mean, they grew up in the same household, so I kind of get it...but that was mostly for my own convenience of not switching between households not because I thought of them as having any kind of "sibling" relationship. ^_^;;

      I've had siblings grow up together from babies to adults, never being mean to each other, and I've never seen this at all.

      On an unrelated note, my blood siblings flirted with some guys in the presence of each other, and now my blood siblings have a pink romance bar with each other! Ick!

      True. As long as a sim aged up from teen to YA in a household they will get a parenthood related relationship thingy with other sims in the household.

      I had this come up with my sim and it was with her step son. She raised him as a dependent from when he was a toddler.

      It's odd as heck. How about "Super Family".

      I've been playing the sims games for years and while I was playing the new cottage living pack I noticed that my two sims had this in their relationship tab. They were both teens when I started playing because I really like starting a new sims play as a teenager and I moved in the mayor's son sense that's who I wanted my sim to have a relationship with and now I kinda feel weird having them be in a relationship when they have this super sibling relationship trait.

      As far as I know, that’s not supposed to happen unless a) they’re actually related (whether they’re in the same household or not) or b) they have the same Sim assigned as a caregiver. :/ I aged up several teens from the same household recently and none of them are Super Siblings, but I can’t remember if I separated them first. I did remove them as their caregiver’s dependents, though.

      I first started to make 2 teens & 2 adult sims. Then I made the teens siblings & the adult siblings. I then made the female adult the teens Mother which made the male adult their Uncle. I temporary put them in live mode to make sure that the teens don't know each other that well. I resaved them in the Gallery as a back-up. Then I divided the household. Mother & Daughter live in one home whereas the Uncle & Nephew live in another home.
      These two family related households are based on Star Wars with a twist. The Mother is Padme' with her Daughter Leia, her Son Luke lives with his Uncle who's Obi-Wan. I made them a year ago.
      They are in the Gallery along with Naboo Palace & Tantee home. I also have my Star Wars Scoundrels as Cousins household with their home saved in the Gallery.
      What can I say, I've been a Star Wars fan since I was a little girl back in 1978. I even read all the Star Wars Novels up until 2010. ;)

      "Super Siblings" is basically "Brother from another mother".
      Or "Sister from another mother". ;)
