How to stop INCEST !!

Family trees have been known to break for many players. I haven't had this happen yet either. But when they do break, it's only the display of them in-game that does. It's not that the game forgets or loses track of who is related to whom, only the graphic presentation of them in tree-form stops working.

Yes, that’s true, it happened to me at one point when visiting Oasis Landing. But like you say this only effected the family tree.

In the past I have found that at times I found in Sims 3 that if a (living) family gets 'too big' the game will cut off family ties... Anyway... The Sims is playing with life, so... We just need to play with life a bit to turn things around so our sims aren't with sims we don't want them with; unlike real life we don't just have to 'deal with it' :wink: ... Thankfully :lol:

Really? Just curious what the game will consider too big then? Because it never happened to me and there’s a lot of family walking around in my world. I think the family tree can cope because it never shows every family connection at once (you’ll have to click on the icons of the sims in it to see other connections). To me it only happens when I move sims to other worlds and I can repare that now that I have NRaas MC.

Idk might have just been my computer and sims 3 game hating on me... But was playing with my favorite sim from Sims 3, in Sunset Valley and she had a number of children, I had aging off cause I wasn't anywhere near done playing with her for her to grow old and I guess it is/ was b/c she had so many children in town one of them, a male, invited to a party and Zelda showed unwelcomed interest in him; when I checked it no longer showed/ displayed him as her child. However this may have been that I had kept her as young adult and so was he via cakes and wasn't living the home for a while... So may have been caused by more than just having a 'big family' lol... Wasn't a big deal to me, for the record but it was weird and stuck out to me, so never forgot...

Another possiblity might be that it was a clone, not her actual child (but in that case your sim would have two of them in their relationship panel and the original kid would still be in the family tree). Oh well, Sims 3 is always full of surprises isn’t it :D Do you have Mastercontroller? I’m so in love with the ability to repair family ties, it’s something I’ve always longed for in the past (because I often change worlds with my family which makes them lose their relationships - when you move them in seperate households).

This thread caused me to have a dream that my sim married his fridge, who gave birth to his father.

Hey, some of the more expensive fridges are very good looking and have no negative traits. A sim could do worse for a partner. Can't vouch for the resulting genetics, though. :p

I was hoping you'd come by and crack a joke!

Does that make him his own Grandpa?

At least it wasn't the kitchen sink...I hear that kind of relationship runs hot and cold. *hook*.

LOL, I heard what must have been an earlier version of that song for the first time on a car radio. Good thing I was a passenger (not old enough to drive yet, I think) because I probably would have wrapped the car around a tree trying to figure that out without the TS2 visuals. :p
