Right now your game is thinking that the mother is the only one that has genetic ties. You have to link both parents for the child to be considered both their genetic offspring. Hence the reason the daughter is showing up as a "step-daughter".
I don’t really understand how the relationship got broken. I’ve fixed it now though thanks to @igazor and the MC mod.
Before I started to add mods to my game in 2014/15 I had stopped playing families altogether because the family tree always broke and I'd have toddlers who were not even in the family and the relationship with their parents was Stranger. So after repeated disasters with the family trees I started making groups of 8 sims with different traits and putting them together in a big house and see what happened. It was always very entertaining and I ended up with lots of interesting sims with lots of skills to add to my new games as townies or even to add as part of currently played households.
Then after adding my mods and fixing the family trees I've found myself doing all sorts of things to my sims. If I have 2 versions of the same sim I either make them siblings with one getting a slight makeover. Or on occasion I've made them cousins by adding an extra 6 sims. The extra sims are the parents of each of the two sims. One of each set of parents are siblings. Then I add the grandparents who are the parents of the siblings. If they are all ghosts I don't need to play them their tombstones just go into the mausoleum. That's all a bit complicated. I'll go now and do something else so as not to confuse you too much.
Main thing is you solved your problem and are enjoying the game.
