@PipMenacethat's interesting, it loses all relationships for me within the new household.
So the newly created family are no longer related and it's been like that for some years now. For one example, I placed a saved family from the library and saw their little girl wasn't related to them. Then I realised the links had gone. In that case I was able to link the parents as husband and wife but I couldn't link their daughter Quinn. It had taken me a while to create her and fill all 5 outfit categories for her too so I wasn't impressed as I had to recreate her. Then I continued noticing it with relationships and since Growing Together I also see it with Family Dynamics.
So perhaps it's a console issue or an Xbox issue.
interesting. I play on both Xbox and mostly PS5. I have these same issues. Once I save some features cannot be modified, both specific to the sim as well as family.
Say I make the mom and a child but haven’t yet made dad. Have to save and leave. When I come back I cannot make him the dad of the pre created child because it’s greyed out. However during game play I can make him adopt the child.

That's really strange because I play on both Xbox and PC and have not actually experienced a difference when it comes to households imported from the library into CAS. With both platforms it preserves relationships for me and allows full editing (just as long as it's for a completely new game). I wonder why those differences would occur for some people playing the same platform and not for others. Possible bug?
- simsplayer8182 years agoHero@Moozilla13 perhaps content related then 🤔. I mentioned it years ago as a possible bug/issue but back then I had a lot less content. Nothing came from it so I left it.
I must test it now I've completed the DLCs collection and see if it's different now with the full game. Thinking of the last time I had an issue it was just after adding the Goth and Castle Kits and I was creating my Goth Sim's family. I've since then added the last pack, Vampires.
So can I ask if you have Growing Together can you edit the family dynamics after returning to a household? Because for me it's greyed out as soon as I stop editing the household for the first time.
I can add a new family member if I use Play with Genetics just fine but it usually won't let me add a link if I haven't used that feature. So that's why when the relationships are lost in the library I can't link them again and get the "can't edit pre-existing Sims" message.
It's been like this on Xbox One, Xbox One S, Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X.
Perhaps this belongs in Technical Issues Consoles.- kisses2kenney6212 years agoNew Rookie
I have growing together and have the same greyed out dynamics once I return. I mostly play on PS5 but I also play on XBOX One. Same on both. Though I don’t play on Xbox much anymore. The more packs I buy on XBOX the slower the game runs and the glitchier it gets. Even with plenty of memory and great connectivity. I don’t have these issues on PS5. The loading screens are longer but gameplay hasn’t been affected.
