Also, an option to set another playable (another relative, or the aforementioned godparent) as a child's guardian. If the parents die and the child gets taken by the social worker, they (and any funds from selling the house) get moved to the guardians' house. Ideally, the social worker would bring them, but teleporting them would probably be easier.

Those ideas actually sound like fairly fun and easy things to make. Godparents could just be done with found family, all it needs is a social interaction and maybe a token if you want the social to work before the child is born - a token would result in yet another conflicting birth mod, so it might be better to just allow proposing godparentage to already-born babies. Naming a guardian and teleporting a child to them would also be easy, but I wonder how actually difficult modding in a new social worker scenario would be, since the code for bringing the child already exists. The main difference would just be that it would skip all of the family tree and memory rejiggering that normally happens when kids are adopted (although we would probably mark the guardian as found family, unless you wanted to do that at the time that the guardian was originally assigned).
