I am trying to remove a dad / husband from being related to the people in the house, but it's not working. I have done "testingcheats true" and "cas.fulleditmode". When it loads to CAS, I click on "husband" and try change it to "household member", it won't let me select it. Same as "father" to "household member". Nothing happens.

Yeah, that will do it. Unfortunately the phantom parents limit what you can do.
I believe this issue is most likely from the family tree update. I can't assign two parents to existing siblings in CAS as one slot is already taken up by the unknown blob in the family tree. And obviously that can't be edited, so there's no way to delete them to reassign say Daniel and Mary-Sue as the Pleasants' parents. It would be nice if manually allocating relatives would just override the unknown one.
One of the siblings' family trees doesn't show a phantom parent, but one does. I assume it shows because one has a spouse and the other doesn't. I guess the parent is the problem. Thank you for the help.
Hi Zosley555
could you check their family trees ? Do they both have phantom parents ? If they have different parents already, then you can't make them siblings.
I downloaded my Sims from an older save file from the gallery. They were in different households, but when I temporarily put them in one household to fix their relationship to siblings, it just. Won't let me?? I tried just doing it in CAS, and I tried the MCCC mod to fix it, but neither would let me change their relationships to siblings at all. I even tried removing the MCCC mod to see if that was the issue, and nothing changed. I'm unsure if this is a new bug or if I'm just doing something wrong.
Yeah sounds like the game still thought they have parents, so basically also the the phantom parents issue. Just curious that they didnt' show in your family tree.
EDIT: That household you uploaded shows them with the correct parents ? Did you upload the correct household ?
I eventually found a fix, but they are uploaded as "Bale's Broken Household" if you still want to check out the bug.
The kids originally had two parents that I deleted and tried to replace with two new parents. I discovered that if you change the kids' relationships with the original parents to "Household Member" before you delete them, then you can give them two new parents with no problem.
Would you mind uploading them to the gallery and post the name here ?
I did that and the children still only have one parent. The other is listed as step-father.
One of the parents has a faceless, nameless parent of his own showing up on the family tree and only when I'm on his children's genealogy, not his own, even though I don't remember ever giving him a parent. I doubt that would be affecting this issue though.
Can you place them in the game and check their family tree ?
