Family, adult children and later generations

Follow a family over time

A simulated family changes as time advances. Relationships, births, separations, loss and new households can appear in the life record. Children and grandchildren have their own age, circumstances and events rather than remaining fixed as children throughout your life.

Read the newest family events and open the family panel to understand who is living with whom. Family formation and residence can change; a past event records what happened at that time and may differ from the current household.

Work, marriage, leaving home and migration

Adult descendants can study, work, form relationships, marry, move out or migrate when their circumstances allow it. Country, age, education, finances and existing family state affect the available paths. Grandchildren can also reach adulthood and develop later-life events.

The player sometimes receives a family decision about a descendant. Review the named person, choices and any charge before responding. Not every life generates every event, and supporting a choice does not guarantee its eventual outcome.

Use the event record for context

• Check the person named in the event; a child’s decision and a grandchild’s decision can have different effects.
• Work, relationships and household location are separate parts of a person’s life.
• Resolve a pending choice before trying to advance time.
• A changed location or relationship does not retroactively rewrite an earlier family memory.

Simulation limits

Family events are fictional and simplified. The game does not model every legal, cultural or immigration process. A migration event is a game outcome, not a real visa route or promise that a country will admit someone.

The feature-fidelity and translation work is ongoing. This page explains the current feature categories without claiming every original-game branch has been reproduced.
