[LD] Relationships lost with sims after rebirth

Hi rostsit​ 

there's currently a few threads on this. First one sounds most of what you are seeing but maybe you also have the others

• [LD] Relationships lost with sims after rebirth | EA Forums - 11708958 
• [LD] Rebirth: Previous Self Deleted From Family Tree | EA Forums - 11714844
• [LD] [HSY] Rebirth: Romantic Relationship not possible with Sim from former life | EA Forums - 5050339 

Yes, looks like the first one. However, that thread is closed and archyved without any fix, why???

I didn't encountered the second bug.

The last bug is the opposite to what I have.

Did you read the thread I linked you last time ? We have a new style bug forum now and threads could not be migrated into the new one because of that. Hence the archive exists. Thread there are still open.

Info here: [PLEASE READ] Information/Questions about the bug forum | EA Forums - 11850203 and here: General Information About The Bug Reports Forum | EA Forums - 4965007 

If someone makes a new one, the old one is put on archive and linke so you can find it easily.

Will use this as new thread for that then.

I did. I just didn't realised this is the same situation, I imagined bug reports from LD aren't that old to be in that old forum. Ok then, thanks!

By the way, despite the first and the last bugs are opposites, I believe they are obviously connected to the same problem - the mismanagement of the special traits that should be applied after rebirth.

So after some more testing today I can say that this bug is totally random. 

On my sixth try it worked. I have no idea what are the reasons that trigger it. It's not the urn for sure. And it also doesn't seem to depend on which family you choose (new, old, none).

It's everything that was migrated from AHQ :D

I'm playing with the rebirth feature for the third time now and relationships to loved ones from a past life are not maintained as intended. Either my Sims don't recognize anyone from their past life, neither friends, romantic interests, family members, or they remember only a few select people they meet during their infant life stage. I've done a bit of testing with my current save and in order to recognize someone from their previous life they had to quickly meet up after reincarnation. If I wait longer than a few days the reborn Sim will no longer recognize them. And sometimes reborn Sims won't even recognize their loved ones after immediately meeting with them, so it's a random hit or miss for me.

For example in my current save file the reborn Sim remembers one love interest from his previous life who I immediately introduced to him after rebirth. Then I played a little longer and had him meet his former best friend and son and there was no recognition. In a different save file another reborn Sim would recognize his former sister and some friends he met as an infant, but not his former parents who he met as a child.

All of my affected reborn Sims had the romantic sage reward trait before rebirth, which is known to cause some issues, so I removed it with a cheat code before they went into the lake. But I don't know if the persistent bug I'm having with relationships has anything to do with that. Please investigate this issue. Rebirth is marketed as a major feature for the Life and Death EP and ought to be working properly. Those missing relationships, and therefore missing sentiments and dialogue options, are ruining the storytelling potential.

I play on PC without mods or CC. I did use mods in the affected saves until last year but deleted them before this issue started to appear.
