## Competitive Kin

Starting dialogue:

> **Sibling:** Nice of you to make time to hang out with your favorite sibling, I know! Let's play that game I beat you at last time!
>
>
> **Your sim:** Why don't we just hangout... like friends, you know? We don't have to compete ALL the time.
>
>
>
> **Sibling:** I think someone's bitter about losing, but sure! It'll be nice to spend time together without the stress of giving a victory speech.
>
>

Ending dialogue:

> **Sibling:** Have you seen the new Cat Detective movie yet? I've seen it twice already.
>
>
> **Your sim:** Wow, I didn't realize I was in the presence of such an "accomplished" movie-goer.
>
>
>
> **Sibling:** Whatever. Being able to see movies indicates superior time management skills!
>

## Disputing Descendants

Starting dialogue:

> **Sibling:** I brought over one of our old yearbooks so we can reminisce together.
>
>
> **Your sim:** Oh. Is that the only reason you brought it over?
>
>
>
> **Sibling:** Sure! Hey, remember that time I got voted hall monitor even though you really wanted it? Let's look at the picture together.
>
>

Ending dialogue:

> **Sibling:** There's this juice drinking challenge on Simstagram I thought we could take together.
>
>
> **Your sim:** Um, okay. It's just for fun, right? It isn't a competition or anything?
>
>
>
> **Sibling:** Yeah, I said it was a challenge, not a competition. Forget it. I can tell you aren't really social media savvy. Or fun savvy.
>
>

## Rivaling Relatives

Starting dialogue:

> **Your sim:** You know, it's been a while since we've really talked. We used to talk all the time when we were kids.
>
>
> **Sibling:** Well, Sims change. We're jaded, bitter adults now!
>
>
>
> **Your sim:** Come on, we can be jaded and bitter together.
>
>

Ending dialogue:

> **Sibling:** I never noticed before, but I love this flooring you have. You must have been inspired by what I have in my place.
>
>
> **Your sim:** Actually, I had it first. You just got yours put in; how could I have copied you?
>
>
>
> **Sibling:** This is just like the purple backpack in school all over again. You know, it's okay to admit I've always been the trendy one.
>
>

## Thin-Skinned Kin

Starting dialogue:

> **Sibling:** I never though you'd ever get a house. I pictured you in an apartment or a lean-to or something.
>
>
> **Your sim:** Okay. What's that even supposed to mean?
>
>
>
> **Sibling:** It's a compliment! Your surprised me with your ambition.
>
>

Ending dialogue:

> **Your sim:** I feel like lately we've spent a lot of time squabbling. Can't we be friends?
>
>
> **Sibling:** Squabbling? I thought we had a nice banter going on. Maybe I just see the world in a more positive light.
>
>
>
> **Your sim:** That's certainly one way of looking at it.
>
>

## Fussing Fam

Starting dialogue:

> **Your sim:** We should chat about holiday season plans for next year. There's no such thing as planning too early.
>
>
> **Sibling:** Sure, I guess. I could be in charge of the table settings.
>
>
>
> **Your sim:** What? That's what I always do! I mean... sure, okay. I'm happy you want to help.
>
>

Ending dialogue:

> **Sibling:** I drew up some plans for the table settings for next year's holiday dinners! What do you think?
>
>
> **Your sim:** Plans? Wow, okay. I'm glad you're getting into this, but these really are intricate.
>
>
>
> **Sibling:** Yeah! I know! They're going to be so much better than the ones you did all those other years. No offense.
>
>

## Siblings in Strife

Starting dialogue:

> **Your sim:** Why are you constantly trying to upstage me? I don't understand.
>
>
> **Sibling:** Upstage you? You asked me to help. I'm helping and now you don't want my help.
>
>
>
> **Your sim:** Forget it. Let's try to get along.
>
>

Ending dialogue:

> **Your sim:** I don't understand why it has to be so difficult to get along with you. Did I do something to upset you?
>
>
> **Sibling:** Sounds like you're upset because I don't meet the cookie cutter standard for the perfect sibling.
>
>
>
> **Your sim:** Even a crumbled cookie is sweeter than you are.
>
>

## Offspring Opponents

Starting dialogue:

> **Sibling:** This might not be the best time to tell you, but I'm having a party if you want to come. I sent an invitation.
>
>

> **Your sim:** Gee, thanks! Hey, wait, this is on my birthday!
>
>

Ending dialogue:

> **Your sim:** Why would you have a party on my birthday? You even invited all my friends!
>
>
> **Sibling:** Gosh, this is so awkward. I can't cancel the band. Maybe you could just celebrate your birthday at my party?
>
>
>
> **Your sim:** What? No one hires a band anymore. It's like you did this on purpose.
>
>

## Feuding Family

Starting dialogue:

> **Your sim:** Hey, you posted my joke on your Simstagram account, but didn't give me credit!
>
>
> **Sibling:** Big deal. You have more followers than I do anyway. For now. Besides, does anyone own anything anymore.
>
>
>
> **Your sim:** It just would have been nice to be acknowledged. We're family, after all.
>
>

Ending dialogue:

> **Your sim:** Why are you always so competitive? We can't even talk without it turning into a contest.
>
>
> **Sibling:** That's rich! Everyone knows that YOU'RE the competitive one. You can't fail. You're the "favorite" child.
>
>
>
> **Your sim:** What?! You think I'm the favorite?
>
>

## Squabbling Siblings

Starting dialogue:

> **Sibling:** Don't pretend you don't know you're the favorite. Our parents always are bragging about you. I'm just trying to keep up.
>
>
> **Your sim:** Our parents brag about you all the time. Even if they didn't, that doesn't mean they don't love you.
>
>
>
> **Sibling:** Maybe it is all in my head. I just always saw you as the perfect one and me struggling to keep up. I'm sorry I came off as competitive.
>
>

Ending dialogue:

> **Your sim:** I'm really happy we can be honest with each other!
>
>

> **Elder:** Yeah! You can finally admit that I'm the trendy one.
