That is a tall order! Old game, lots of mods, lots of windows files/folders. Probably a lot of tinkering just to get that far.
You doing real family trees, or sims family trees?
For real ones: Gramps is not particularly easy to use, but it is real genealogy software and supports the open standard for importing and exporting data.
As for the game, this is what I would do: I would grab a $20 machine or re-purpose an older one. Put windows on it. Put your game on it. Remote into it (either RDP, or use moonlight). Clipboard is shared, the screen is the game, it works really, really well. And you can preserve your SIMS game when Windows starts to force changes that break things because your main computer is used for the secure stuff like browsing and email, and other games.
That said, I have seen the Sims 2 complete repacked with patches for Lutris that is basically click and run. How many of your mods work, I don’t know.
