If the DLC is about family, I'll be bummed that I can't play it anytime soon.
Never played much of Fable to make a fair comparison.

Not so much Sims, since you don't have the option to trap them in a room and make them stew in their own blue liquids. You can find a couple of kids out of some strolling around and have them live with you as opposed to being an orphan just because or a few victims of shitty in-game mission circumstance (i.e. their guardian gets slain on a quest mission, so now they don't have a dad). They don't provide money like a spouse, but they seem to collect shit in their chest in their room while they go out and play that you're free to take... usually food or alchemy ingredients from what I've seen so far. If you bring a dog home, they'll beg you to keep it.

I only have the one girl, so I don't know how they interact with another adoptee, nor do I have a wife yet, so I don't know if there are any dynamics at that, either.

I also don't have any other DLC. I got Hearthfire simply because I like the idea of custom building a house. I'm also the same kind of guy who bought a couple wrestling games simply to dick around in the CAW for hours making various friends and celebrities and barely touching the gameplay. The game itself isn't even mine, but I will end up picking it up soon.

On a side note: enabling direct child killing is a hot-button no-no for games, but witnessing one scripted to roam around and sleep out in the rain behind the inn if you don't decide to provide them a place to stay is a perfectly healthy kind of player trauma to enduce.
