Is There A Mod To Fix The Uncle Thing? SOLVED! Yay

Would an Intel(R) UHD Graphics 620 work for the Sims 2 Ultimate Collection? I have met the requirements, except that my Windows is Windows 10.

This is also my experience with it.

I've used it constantly with Sims to build friendships. Never had any kind of romance be kindled or jealousy if a partner was around.

The problem was the uncle and niece got the lightening bolt attractions after he did this. I was wondering why they were like flirting and admiring all the time etc. until I noticed they had developed a thing for each other. As I stated, in TS2 if your Sim is not directly the next Sim created in CAS, then their kids are not kin (but are technically) enough to not have any romantic interactions after the child grows up. It's been that way as long as I can remember. For example if you make a family tree and I will use the family in my game as example: Sister and Brother, they both have children (no other parents), ok, all good, then another and another brother or sisters to the first Sims created, those on the family line will not be kin enough to not to flirt with children of the first two brother and sister etc.

Usually the first time after you interact with someone who you have bolts with the bolts appear. Even if it's just talk. And talk's not romantic.

I've never had Sims born in game that are aunt/uncle/niece/nephew show up as not related or lose their related status. No matter how many siblings are between them.

If these are supposed to still be kin ( I know I had this problem years ago, too) she or any of them shouldn't be going to bust a move which is a semi flirt. I'm thinking it's the programming and not any mods installed because I also had this problem years ago with another family who developed love interest in his niece and vice versa once she aged up. But if it ever got corrected and kept them close enough kin to not do these things I don't remember it. If it's mod related and was truly fixed in the past, then it might be a mod that causes this that allows me to control other Sims on the lot. But I'm thinking this is all by design and was never fixed to where players were not bothered by it.

When you are saying they are in the family tree but not kin, do you mean in their relationship panel they are not marked as family? I'm guessing that is what you mean since I don't see attraction on a sim marked as family, but want to check. As others have said, I have sims Bust a Move on siblings, on parents, etc. it doesn't mean they aren't related, it's a friendly interaction not specifically romantic. I get where you felt it must be romantic because of the lightning bolt and the fact they have that is interesting, but as Seera said before, any interaction can bring that up. I just checked in my game where I have multiple generations and the families have intermarried and had kids with different partners, some CAS some born in game, etc....ALL of the aunt/uncles/cousins show up as family (as long as they have met of course) not only in the family tree, but also in the relationship panel, regardless of the age gap, full parentage, etc. The same goes for the adult relatives, ALL of the nieces and nephews they have met are marked as family in the relationship panel. Is this only happening with this family?

Have you looked to see if an uncle or aunt has romantic options they can use on the niece or nephew once they are grown? Not the one closest to the neice etc. but one further away on the family tree. It's true they developed the bolts after bust a move, but it's also true this can develop on normal Sims (not kin) who do any interaction not just romantic. The weird thing is they had not been out of the house to flirt or find out who they like or decide who or which gender or whatever. I played them til she grew up and then this happened. I guess they should have gotten out more. (that's a joke).

No romantic options (outside of Family Kiss), regardless of how far out on the family tree they go, or if they are from a second marriage or romantic tryst. (Including the son of a set of twins from one set of parents, and his youngest aunt, who is the same age, and the aunt had a different father.) I am pretty sure, however, that is due to the fact they are marked with 'Family' in the relationship panel. From what I can tell they also do not get lightning bolts when they are marked that way. Did you check and see if they are marked as family in the relationship panel, cause if they are and still have a lightning bolt then that certainly would be strange.

I know I say this with most bugs/glitches but man, am I REALLY glad I haven't experienced this one.

Yes, they were still family on the family tree, but no line to her. Just a line to her mother who then had a line to her uncle (the mother's brother). I moved him out because of this so when they were on community lots when I was playing other Sims I would see them flirt etc.
Since then I have pulled those files and started over, because I think my cc is slowing down my game as I sometimes have way too much and I really can't trust SimsPK CleanInstaller anymore, since if I delete duplicates, I lose recolors and if I say No when installing back in any of my own homes etc. No doesn't mean no anymore in the clean installer and may (often) go ahead and install those same recolors etc. making me have way too much cc for game to perform smoothly and not lag etc. Thanks for the suggestions but I couldn't solve it without a complicated prodcedure with SimPE because he remained on the family tree and shouldn't have lost any of his restrictions placed on family members.

What a weird situation. Sorry you were unable to fix it, but hopefully what you have done and are doing will keep it from getting worse.
