    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.

@Rae_Regenbogen Are they still family members ? How closely related ? Do they have family member status in CAS as well as on the info tab ?

Her family tree shows a relationship between each family member (She only interacted with two ancestors and a brother before I reported the bug), so I went into CAS to look at family relationships. I didn’t find a section to view those. However, while in CAS, I linked and then unlinked the sim’s mermaid form (I hadn’t done that in my past attempts to figure out what was wrong) and re-edited her mermaid form. Then, I saved the household to my library and restarted the game. I invited everyone over to view the socials, and she no longer has a romance option with her close family members. However, there is still a romance option with direct ancestors on her family tree.
Side note: this also made her tail appear for the first time in her life. Yay! 🧜‍♀️ 👽

    @Rae_Regenbogen How far away ancestors ? The game only retains relationships up to level 4 or 5 (not sure)

    When you hover over her with the other Sim in the relationship bar, what info can you see there ?

      It says “ancestor.” The Sim on the tree below her says great-grandmother.

      Here's one to stump you. I'm on my 5th gen, they are all toddlers, all but 1 of them shows the whole 5 gens of the family tree. The other sims tree shows up to her grandparents but not further up. Why does great great gran show up for everyone else but her?🤔💚🍀

        After all the latest patches (but I am not sure which one, exactly), family tree is now expanded.

        As previously, the first sim on the tree can see them all.

        But the last sims are now able to see up to grand-grand parents (called ancestors in the game). They can't see anything above though.

        And romantic interactions with grand-grand parents are still possible.

        P.S. Please, whoever did this, remove this "be design" label, this thread is NOT about incest, for gods sake, I've repeated this many times already. It is about family tree and it IS being worked on and now even fixed partially.
