    It's unfortunately by design that great grandchildren can have romantic interactions with their great grandparent, our incest checks just don't go back that far. I'd call this more of a feature request, not a bug, pretty sure it's always been this way.

@rostsit Issues do tend to happen if you have really big trees

We currently have these threads:

All are a bit different but yet similar.

Does one of these fit your issue ?

    @crinrict I've looked carefully through the threads that you linked. My issue is not the same. Others are either CAS, culling or visual problems with a tree. In my case, nobody was culled. The CAS didn't changed the relationships among my sims, moreover, I had noticed the issue even before I used CAS for the first time after 6th generation sims were born and became toddlers.
    And its not only visual. It is affecting gameplay, as romantic options are working where they shouldn't.

      @rostsit How many generations back do you have the issue with the romantic options ? newest to 6th ? There might be a limit to how many generations are recognized by the game.

        1t, 2d, and 3d generations have romantic interactions with 6th. There could be a limit but somehow all generations but 6th see the whole family tree, so the problem occurs from the "bottom" of the tree. Something wrong with this specific number of generations. Because the difference between 6th and 3d is the same as between 2d and 5th (and so on), but only 6th has the problem.
