The option does not disable culling.
Setting the limit to unlimited, just means you can put as many families on the save list as you want.

Do you have culling on Sims you have put as safe ? I'm currently a bit unsure how the family tree is supposed to work but as it seems broken with the issue that dead Sims show alive in it, that could just be a related issue.
Hi Crin,
Thanks for your comment. Yes I was aware of what you said but i read on this link that if you put the household under 'My Households' they are protected from culling? Even though their family tree still gets culled :/ Also in the link it says this:
Ghosts will now no longer disappear from family trees when they are returned to the netherworld or culled by the game.
I read that as no matter what happens to the dead they should still remain on the family tree? Just not the case with me ☹️
Yes I have dead Sims appearing alive on the tree and also generic portraits too :S so strange..
Just to add to the above... I'm pretty sure the mod I was using before to disable culling was working until the last patch. But now no matter which mod I chose they don't solve the issue :/ I'm a bit of a novice with these mods... I just downloaded the files and placed them in the Mods folder... I then enabled Mods in the settings. Was I correct in doing that? Such a shame I can't get mods to solve this bug ☹️
I won't comment on mods. You will need to take that up with the creators.
Are we JUST talking family tree culling here ? As I said, there's a few issue with it currently and the problem is that once the Sims die, they're not under the usual culling protection but it works otherwise but I need to read up on the current status which I don't have any time for this week, unfortunately.
Hi Crin,
Yes I think we're just talking family tree culling... I can't see any others in the neighbourhood disappearing.. although I could be wrong. The strange thing is... my very first sim in the game and thus first in the family still exists as a playable ghost even after culling has removed her from the tree! So weird.
Many thanks
Gareth
sorry for not getting back to you earlier.
I'm a bit unsure if this is connected to other family tree issues that are going on.
Did you play more and had more disappear ?
