    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 I'll go ahead and merge your post.

Guess that's not usually something that will happen as your ancestors are usually dead by the time the Sim grows up and is only really an issue for immortal Sims.

Also, in RL there's countries where you can marry your cousin .. that's closer.

Lol. So thankful that I didn’t have to marry any of my cousins.

Thanks again for the help.

    So incest is "by design", ok, I guess.

    But may I remind you that my original question is about family trees. The bug reported in this thread is that ALL but last generation recognize the WHOLE family tree, while the last generation recognizes only a part of it. How come some sims have family trees with great grandparents and even ABOVE, while others don't??? There is something wrong with it.

    Please, make a separate thread, call it "incest with great grandparents" or something and mark it "By design". This thread is about FAMILY TREES first and foremost.

    @crinrict It's totally not the same. I don't have blank photos on the family tree, can't you see? And it's not like the tree is completely corrupted, it WORKS, just not for every generation, only the 6th generation has its tree cut.

    Completely different bug.

    @rostsit The romance interactions are not related to that you can't see your prior ancestors. It's because it doesn't go back that far (which is what Nick posts about).

    Will leave this to a CM to handle further cause I don't have any insight in the design notes I can only go by what QA has said.

    @crinrict You seem to ignore what I am saying. The romance interactions is again - another bug. Or not a bug - it's by design, as Nick said, I don't really care. 

    This thread should be about family tree being cut for 6th generation, not about incest (which is related, but still not the first thing I reported here), and NOT about blank portraits on the family trees (which is unrelated at all).

    @rostsit As said, a CM/QA will assist you further.

    With Xmas break this might be in January though.
