The only problem with that is that unless you kill them off after they
become adults, pretty soon you've got a dozen households with the same last
name. Before long, none of the family trees in your neighborhood will fork
anymore. LOL Having a neighborhood with too many families in it who have
lived too many generations will make your computer grind to a halt. I did
that with Pleasantville and had dozens of Broke houses. After the third
generation, everyone the kids met were related to them. I had to create new
famlies for breeding stock. By the fourth generation, it was taking so long
to load Pleasantville and then to open a house that I could start it up, go
fix supper and come back just as it was ready to play. Bah. Too much like
the old Sims 1 game, then, when it took nearly 30 minutes to load the game
with all my downloads.
