    The updated family trees only apply to saves created after the update, and the dynasties only to saves created after installing the new pack. Neither applies retroactively to pre-existing saves, because you may have already edited them, or had neighborhood stories play out with them, so they don’t want to overwrite existing saves and wipe out what’s already been played through.

    I see. Thank you. I checked the bug reports to see what kind of bugs there were, but it seems I wasn't able to confirm how R&L would affect them. I'll turn off R&L when using existing data from before R&L. That way I won't have to worry about so many things. Your detailed explanation was very helpful. Thank you. I was really surprised and confused...😓
