Chiming in, alongside 'lil cheese' and 'Luna Rose', to request this be updated, too. So much rich gameplay in this one!

WICKED PIXXEL · December 29, 2025

Pocket · April 14, 2025

I can't open the dynamic relationship settings. I can get as far as 'Add A Subculture' or 'Add Family Drama' but the pop-ups to actually add stuff doesn't show up. And there no computer widget for the family gameplay mod at all. All sims in the household have both the aspiration and trait for the mod.

W
WICKED PIXXEL · April 14, 2025

I'll test this soon. The mod is due for new gameplay and update. I don't have a date for it just yet.

Revive · December 4, 2023

is the family dynamic only for teens and older? i cant make my child the black sheep in the family.

W
WICKED PIXXEL · December 4, 2023

Black sheep isn't restricted from children. Not sure why it won't work on them.
