These families have beef that dates back years, and many of them have generational ties to The Sims universe.
The Darong Family Dynasty
“The Darongs are a philanthropic Dynasty who have worked tirelessly over generations to bring Dambele into a golden age of flourishing arts and wealth. Their family words are spoken throughout Dambele: Strength Through Union.”
The diplomatic and creative Darong Family can be found in Dambele.

As a family unit, the Darong Dynasty has no Allies or Rivals, but they do have a Secret. Adekoya has a Secret Child, Afua Ananou. Because he is not a present father to Afua, her maternal grandfather, Ekene Ananou is raising Afua. This tension has caused Ekene and Adekoya to become enemies.
It is also interesting to note that Dirk Dreamer is a distant relative of the Darong Family.
The House of Thebe Dynasty
“Strong as the tides, fierce as the sea, the Thebe are recognized by their family words: We Ride The Storm. This Dynasty is proud of their adventures and the treasures they’ve collected. Theirs is a mixed lineage which counts both princesses and pirates in their ancestry.”
Located in Verdemar, The House of Thebe is comprised of two members: Grand Duchess Cordelia Thebe V (Dynasty Head) and Grand Duke Thiago Abrantes (Dynasty Heir). Members of the Thebe Dynasty thrive in Mixology, Logic, and Swordsmanship, and strive to uphold the Nature-Loving, Jolly, and Bold Ideals.

In the Thebe family from The Sims 4 Royalty & Legacy, Cordelia and Thiago are married. Thiago is the son of Margavine Ermelinda Abrantes and the brother of Lady Sofia Abrantes.

Despite the feuding ladies, The House of Thebe and The Abrantes Family remain allied.
Although Cordelia and Thiago seem to have the perfect marriage, Cordelia has begun a secret affair with Fia Acosta, the Royal Robber. How will this affect the Dynasty’s Prestige if people find out?
