I haven't corrected this yet, but noticed in TS2 if it's the second uncle out or third then they are not kin in the family tree anymore once the child ages up. Example, a Sim has two brothers and a sister, the second brother (farthest out on the line) (family icon) in relationship panel but once the child grows up of the sister or brother, the Sim who is futher out on the family tree will no longer be kin to that adult niece/nephew etc.
I've never seen a Sim lose a family tie in my game like that. Over the years I've had numerous families reach that many generations. I've deleted many of them due to boredom or to save space. I don't typically have family reunions all that often that include that family combination so I may just not have discovered it.
I don't have many neighborhoods where I still have the appropriate Sims still alive to check on that family connection, but I'll keep an eye out for it. Only one neighborhood with the second aunt out and the family connection is still there with one of her oldest nieces (oldest nieces are twins).
If I recall correctly that niece's adult birthday would have been on my previous desktop which had Sims 2 installed via the game discs and I do not own any of the collections short of the Ultimate Collection. So potential for random bug caused by the Ultimate Collection itself as I believe you're on that version just not fully "patched" since you don't want to be tied to Origin.
It will be some time before I see it though since I just started a new neighborhood in a mixture of a BACC and Prosperity challenge for the set up so I do have a few families where I have 4 kids (though they are CAS generated) and I may have some where they end up with 4+ kids.
Even if a Sim dies in TS2 they remain on the family tree. But if you delete Sims in TS2 that corrupts your family trees and the memory system causing corruption with the memory system. The game has always lost the connection of a distant brother or sister and no longer kin to their nephews or neices after they aged up, especially if they are no longer in the same household. I have all the patches as I keep them stored on the harddrive. ETA: Origin doens't patch The Sims 2 UC, it only patches it's DRM.
