The Family Tree CAS

📖 The story

Before a single day is played, you build a whole family that *feels* real — grandparents, parents, kids — each generation visibly descended from the last. It's storytelling in the genetics, all done in Create-a-Sim.

💝 The goal

Build a believable **three-generation family** in CAS, with realistic genetics and resemblance between relatives.

🎀 Packs required

Packs recommended

🏡 Setup

🚀 Getting started

• Start with the grandparents, then use CAS's "inherit/genetics" tools to build descendants who genuinely resemble them.
• In CAS, build elders first, then use **Use Parent's/Inherit** genetics to create children.

📋 General rules

• Each generation must visibly descend from the last.
• Use CAS genetics tools rather than building each Sim from scratch.
• The whole family tree is coherent before play begins.

✨ Specific rules

• Create grandparents, their children, and grandchildren.
• Resemblance must be evident across generations.
• Set up the in-game family relationships to match the tree.

✅ What you can do

• Use CAS genetics tools to inherit features and build resemblance across three generations.

⛔ What you can't do

• Relatives must believably resemble one another — no wildly unrelated faces.
• Build the tree deliberately, generation by generation.

💡 Strategy tips

• Use CAS's "inherit features from parents" to blend two Sims into a convincing child, then nudge by hand.
• Carry signature features (a nose, eye shape, hair colour) down the line for visible family resemblance.
• Give each Sim an age-appropriate style so the generations read clearly.

🔥 Want it harder?

• Extend to **five** generations with consistent resemblance throughout.
• Include believable in-laws who *don't* share the family look.
