I would love if anyone would give me some family ideas to make the game interesting I have already come up with one but I have no other idea for my the next heir here's mine

get married three time, get pregnant two times to the first husband then he dies of electrocution when he dies turns out he was in debt you have to pay 20,000 to the bank, marry the second husband get pregnant once to him you find out he's cheating on you so you go out and have a fling with a stranger that ends up in you becoming pregnant. you divorce your second husband and decided your bad with love but when your an elder you find your soul mate

    Try killing off sims, and not having them have happy lives. My sim currently lives with her husband and 2 kids(one child and one toddler) and her child sim brother. Her parents wished to try for a baby as adults days before elderhood. So he wasn’t left alone since they died she took in her younger brother and is raising him with her kids. Thing is everything have been going well for her so I’m planning on sadly killing her husband off so she’ll have to raise all 3 herself. I had a past sim who to make things exciting was a doctor and had a family but he would often flirt and romance his patients. He has a couple kids around town an sometimes he finds them in the hospital coming to be cured

    Here was something I did in the past (with a few pictures). This was a family that really kept things interesting.

    I normally play the happily married couples with children, and no cheating.....but once in a while I like to spice things up a bit. I had started off with a young adult sim, and after her third relationship and second marriage she met her soul mate. I never had a sim before who had such rotten luck in the area of love. But eventually she met and married the love of her life.
    First boyfriend.

    First husband.

    Going through heart break after her divorce. Her husband decided that he preferred guys AFTER they were married.

    Finally after nearly giving up on love, someone wonderful came into it.

    They ended up having 5 beautiful children over the course of their marriage.
    But once their two eldest children became teenagers something happened.
    She was not looking for an affair to happen, but an affair did happen. She ended up getting involved with a local politician, Victor Feng.

    Even with that happening she was still deeply in love with her husband, and eventually she did call it off. I'm guessing she must have went through some midlife crises.
    Their golden years, fortunately he never discovered his wife's short coming.

    When I saw this I had an odd feeling that her time was coming to an end.

    When making your Sims, mix in some "negative" traits -- traits like Hot-Headed or Mean. Or you can take a Sim and put them in a career they're totally unsuited for -- like a Lazy Sim in the Athletic career. I had a Loner Sim in the Social Media career where you have to be out meeting people, and she was constantly Tense.

    I have just been letting my sim wonder and she got a whim to flirt with this guy Ivan who by the way is married with two teenagers and too old for her usually I would just cancel that whim but decided to roll with it so now my sim is pregnant by Ivan she of course doesn't' know that Ivan is married with a family so she's living in bliss thinking she found the perfect man. So now Ivan has two families so i don;t know what to do next if to continue the two families or just break them up

    I wouldn't break up his other family, but I would first go and play his household just to see the how things are going there, and what his wishes are. But if you do decide to have him divorce his wife, just remember he will be very miserable for 2 days, he will have a very negative moodlet. If you want to make things interesting, let his wife witness his betrayal.

    Try creating an LBGTQ couple. Have them marry and with kids. I apologize if that idea offends anybody.

    I agree when using "negative traits" add in a positive trait/neutral trait. The same goes for positive traits have a neural or negative trait to make things interesting. Use custom Aspirations and custom traits. I have a lot of custom aspirations and probably too many custom traits. Use custom jobs, there are a lot of great Simmer created jobs that are awesome out there.

    Breaking them up would make him depressed but having him eventually caught would embarrass and shame him and make his spouse enraged.
