DreamGoddessLindsey Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Say I have four people all related, with A and B as the parents of C and D. If I enter A related to all three, will the game fill in the rest and make them all related by blood? Like if I enter A being related to all three, will the game also make B related to C and D as well as C being related to D? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg McNeish Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 'Fraid not. You have to enter each relation manually. As someone that has brothers from three different fathers, this actually is something that shouldn't be automatic. If my mom and dad each had children with different partners, then both kids would be my blood relatives, but they wouldn't with each other. As well, I really hope that you're not making the parents blood relatives. The kids will have webbed feet, or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Lyrium Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 This would've been the case in '07, but it was changed in '08 for the reasons above, as well as others. If A is related to B, and C is related to A, B and C won't automatically be related. And like Greg said, A and B definately should not be related in your example! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurningHamster Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 That is one thing that annoys me greatly. Adding each blood relationship is so tedious for large families.:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the development phase of '08 I suggested a system to add workers into a group which was their family and automatically gave each worker a blood relationship. It would be much easier to simply leave one member out, and give him the family feud relationship than to one by one add every single relationship. However since I know nothing of programming I don't know if something like this was ever possible, simply the wishes of someone who knows the horror of trying to add every blood relationship of a little family of Samoans. And don't even get me started on luchadores, is there anyone in Mexico who isn't someone's son or brother or uncle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
