Re: [ARCHIVED] Partnered Sims turn into siblings/family relationships

@crinrictI am only playing with a single household for this save. It only affects the couple. They can still use romantic interactions with other sims. The issue persists after deleting localthumbcache and removing the mods. I will test whether it will trigger again on an older save with mods removed.

Edit: I figured out what's the issue. I checked my save and sim A became the aunt of sim B even though they were married. Sim B, who was supposed to be the stepmother of sim C, became her aunt as well. For some reason, it was showing up correctly in the family tree. I managed to clear it with MCCC but I will test whether it triggers again.

@crinrictIt's probably not the same issue. I tried to see whether entering CAS would trigger it earlier but it didn't. Sure, I have a save that still has the bug. How should I send it?

Edit: I think I know how this happened. I've been trying to set both sims A and B as the mothers of sim C with MCCC. I don't understand how the spouse ended up becoming the aunt though. The older save should have also been affected too.

@crinrictHmm, it's still triggering. Sim A is suddenly the niece of sim B again. I used MCCC earlier to clear all the relationships for both sims, so there should have been no problem. I've also noticed that sim A mysteriously gained an unknown parent in the family tree but this unknown parent is not related to sim B. I'll try to create parents for sim A to see if that solves this issue.

Edit: Creating a new parent for sim A doesn't solve the issue. I think the issue lies with sim B since both sims A and C are turning into her nieces.

When looking at the relationships in CAS, you have 4 Sims

Sim A is Mom to Sim B and Sister of Sim C and Grandmother of Sim D

Sim B at the same time is The Daughter of Sim A and the Wife of Sim C (which kinda makes her married to her aunt), Sim D is her Daughter

Sim C is The Sister of Sim A and the wife of Sim B and Aunt of Sim D which probably has something to do with Sim A and Sim Sim C being sisters)

Sim D is Granddaughter of Sim A, daughter of Sim B and nice to Sim C

So yeah, I think the weird constellation of a Sim being married to their aunt is causing the issue.

Maybe you changed something in a way you didn't want to in MCCC ? Is that Sim A - Sim C sisterhood on purpose ?

@ongoingwhy If I remove Sim A as being the sister of Sim C, I can get the aunt/niece relationship cleaned up but I had to re-set everything in cas (which you can basically only do if you place them in a new save)

Maybe if you remove the sister relationship with MCCC it can work ?

How did you remove Sim A from the equation ? If the relationship is still there somehow, then it still be a factor.

Maybe it is the same as the other as I assume you didn't set them to be sisters ? LIke Sim A suddenly became the Sibling of her daughter-in-law ?

This is relationship Sim A and B have. also the daughter if the niece is also a niece (great-niece ?)

EDIT: Tried removing relationships via cheats as well but it seems whatever messes this up, is so dominant, it comes right back.

@crinrictYeah, I've already tried removing the sister relationship with MCCC, Sim B and D are still the niece of Sim C.

I used MCCC to clear all the relationships of Sim A.

Yup, I created Sim A with CAS and set her as the mother of Sim B. She was household mates with Sim C when I closed CAS.

I've tried using the family relationship cheat earlier too. The CAS full edit mode doesn't work either. The only method that temporarily works is clearing out all of their relationship via MCCC.
