It was, in fact, the same situation with Patella Skeleton and family. I've attached screenshots this time.
When opening the skeleton family in manage households, both girls Patella were the daughters of skeletal Tibia Skeleton.
I have no idea what might be causing this. Again -- I don't use CC or mods. And I only just noticed this tonight. So, I'm reporting it, in the event that there is something wrong in-game.
Thanks,
Amanda
EA StaffThat's unsual!
Would you be willing to send your save files? If so, instructions are here:
That would help us a lot!.
Thank you very much!
Absolutely! I apologize for getting back with you so late... I've only just logged on the my laptop.
The save file has been attached. I should tell you though, that I did separate and delete the Skeletons. It might've made for great story telling, but I was afraid it might cause problems down the road.
On the forums, another woman posted that she had seen the same thing happen in her game -- but that it really didn't seem to cause any problems with her either. In any case, here's the link where I initially posted it on the forums as well.

It doesn't seem harmful. At least not right now... it's just weird.
Thanks!

The first time I didn't zip it up, and it listed it as an unsupported file extension. It seems to like the .rar file better.
Thanks.

This is a link to the file on my google drive, just in case.

Seems to be related to this bug: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-Gender-Preference-Attraction-Bug/m-p/6705996#M60744
The game just makes couples from whatever sims despite all their features, so skeletons also are victims of this.
@rostsit Thank you for taking the time to respond on this post. I appreciate that you are willing to help!
I really don't think it's like the bug you linked, though. By all accounts, it appears as if the development team has taken measures to prevent any kind of relationship building between the skeletons and other Sims.
The family seems to spawn randomly, because I have no idea what the skeletons do when they're not assisting, or on temple guard duty. (probably, they go somewhere to learn how to crack their bones, and perform various feats of double jointedness... I'm kidding. Mostly.)
In any case, the skeletons aren't flirty with the sims I've played. It's just, later down the line -- I've met other "not in world" Sims, that are somehow the children of SPECIFICALLY the skeletons I have had interactions with. Its like they decided they wanted equal Sim rights, and had a family out of rebellion. (Again. Kidding. Probably not the right time or place)...
The picture is of Patella Kost when I summoned her as a skeletal assistant while vacationing in Selvadorada. Ella (my active Sim) and Patella interacted with one another -- but not in any way flirty. And no matter how many "friendly" interactions were preformed, their relationship bar remained neutral. It wasn't until later that I met the children of Patella... and further on, the daughters of Tibia Skeleton, another assistant I had summoned.
So, no romance or flirting... just randomly spawning families after my Sim had interacted with them.
