    Step Parent/Child relationships are no longer missing in the Genealogy Panel. Similarly
    other cases of broken families in the Genealogy Panel have been fixed as well. It is all
    about reconnecting or connecting with what is important.

    Fixed in Patch 1.77.131/1.44

    If you're still experiencing this issue, please create a new thread.

    I don't know if broken trees can be fixed.

    @rostsit Wow. That would really suck. I hope you're wrong about this, too. That would be so disheartening but it makes me wonder that they had to have figured out a true fix, right?Like, they know that a lot of sims players existing families have been bugged. It would be bad implementation if the fix won't apply to current save games.

    @DonLandgraab It was just bizarre to me to begin with, how family trees didn't even exist in the initial development and release of sims 4. Sims 2 and 3 both had family trees and the fact that Sims 4 started without one and was later patched in, only concluded how out of touch the Sims 4 is compared to previous games. I feel like the sims team doesn't care about us family players at all and that's really disappointing. They boast more about builders and new object and cas content than they do about the actual simulation part of the game. That's why it feels so lacking bcus actual live mode and family content have gone ignored for so long. Then add bugs into the mix that affect that type of gameplay and it's just an utter disaster.

    @procianDo you have any backup saves or have any of the missing sims saved to your personal gallery? I tend to save all my family members, especially when I play on rotation. If you have any of that, you might be able to salvage some of those family ties that your game is missing. Also, use MCCC so that your sims, alive and deceased along with their graves, don't get culled. Make a note that usually every time there's a patch, the game tends to cull ghosts from the family tree and their graves. At least, in my experience.

    I also have the same issue because my supersim has just over 25 kids or so and the tree is broken when you go down.
