Family members outside of colony

[Hyomoto]

I couldn't find a good topic on this, and I assume I kind of know the answer, but I was looking through my colonists because there had been only one marriage but there aren't any social problems (except for Pepper who sometimes starts fires, don't know if that's a SOCIAL issue but anyways), and it's been like 22 years?

Anyways, the point is I was digging through people's relationships just to see what they thought of each other and sure enough there are a lot of good friends around the colony, but I noticed something I hadn't realized before: Pepper HAS a family already, a husband and a son, who are parts of other factions. Is there a way to ... invite them to the colony? Or I dunno, let Pepper go back to her family? I mean, it probably explains her poor mood: she was the sole survivor of a shuttle crash, and whether or not she decided to stay I can't help but want to at least OFFER the chance for a reunion.

Which brings me to a second situation. I had a quest where I was asked to watch over two people for a month. It just so happens that one of my colonists not only fell in love with, but was arranged to be married to, one of these people. Now, mech serum is worth way more than your happiness Legend, but nonetheless I can't help but feel a tinge of regret.

So, this all leads me to the question of whether or not there's a way to encourage a visit or even just to let them talk to these people?

Short answer -lol scratch that- (it is getting late/early), if you play Vanilla, no way but luck.

If you play modded, there is a way:

Enjoy!

(I have not tested it, but there is maybe another possibility: mods EDB Prepare Carefully + Reunion + Character Editor and try to access the wife + children bios and give them Reunion Ally trait during the game via Character Editor on hubby's social tab, or I have noticed that there may be an interaction via Dev Mode and a way to tag the trait Reunion Ally, but I am not sure you would get a relationships list, I think it would only let you tag an onscreen selected pawn. Edit: all named world pawns can be tagged with Ally and thus become part of an event that will make them join your colony at some point, it works.)

As for relationships,I use

and I got 2 mariages already (year 3 of the colony) and with Hospitality mod I got something very fun going on, a male guest (mariied with children) started an affair with my non violent empath, I had enough goodwill so I recruited the guest and now the wife and daughter are visiting regularly but they have not figured out the affair so far (even though hubby never sleeps again with the wifey!). It is very funny to watch.

I'm not surprised if mods are the answer. I'm probably "lightly" modded compared to people with thousands installed, but yeah, that gives me some mods to look at. Thank you for the detailed response.
