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

Did a little further testing with a save prior to my Sim learning any magic but still having the spellcaster occult trait. I can confirm now that the trait doesn't matter. This issue doesn't crop up unless you enter CAS after your Sim is duplicated either by the spell Duplicato or the science career's cloning machine, but I wanted to confirm now that I'm able to reliably reproduce this issue only after learning and using the Duplicato spell.

I cannot get it to reproduce prior to that point.

My working theory is that, because the cloned Sim is always listed as a sibling to the caster, some flag is getting set or some value's getting duplicated that's causing the "sibling" flag to get reassigned to the casting Sim. I guess the fix is to revert my save back, but that's days of progress lost (or kill one of the parents...). Kind of a bummer, but it is what it is. 

I've also confirmed this doesn't seem to happen when the couple is opposite sex; it's only when they're a same-sex couple.

I'm also not using any CC or Mods (in fact I never have).

Hope that helps too! Good luck!
