Please use this thread going forward: [CHEAT] Cannot edit pre-existing sims | EA Forums - 11924857
Hi! Thanks for responding. I did try the Play with Genetics feature and once it generated, it said “household member” instead of “Mother”, even though I selected to play my sims mother. I haven’t tried to test it on a new Sim because I really wanted my favorite sim to have a mother. I should probably mention as well that this particular sim had a mother, father and siblings but I noticed one day that everyone gone from her genealogy so I tried to re add the mom and sisters for starters to the household (sacrificing their lives and storylines) and it just never worked. The only relationship options for the mom are the two I mentioned and the only relationship options for the sisters are now “household member” and “mother”. It’s ssoo backwards. I can definitely go back and add all my in owned packs to the report, thanks for that tip.
@ILN22 in that case it's not a bug if they had previously already had a mother. As @DizzyDee-K rightly says they can't add another mother as far as I know.
So it's working as intended. I'll mark this as Solved.
You could always just recreate the family but then you lose your progress.
If the Sim had been teen age or younger they could have had a new adoptive parent though. I've done that before and selected Adopt as Care Dependent. But with young adult or older they can't do that. I've also added unofficial step parents for Young Adult Sims. I know it's a step parent even though the game doesn't as yet have the title of step parent which is a shame.
