Adopted baby only showing as one parents child.

I have an elderly couple who have just got married and decided to adopt a baby. When the baby arrives the mother shows up as the mother but the father comes up as step father. The same happened with my same sex couple.
  • TS3 has always been horribly inconsistent with step-relations and I don't think there's any way to fix that. But sims should not be interacting with and reacting to what the game labels as parents-children and stepparents-stepchildren any differently from each other especially if they are all in the same household.

    However, you may wish to use NRaas MasterController to remove the mother-child relationship at some point in the future if you do not wish the stepchild to be passing down genetics from a sim who is not really their biological parent.

    Thank you for the advice.
