Bypass Sim Culling...

Hello,

So I have a question about the "Bypass Culling" in the MCCC Mod. Will enabling this affect my gameplay in anyway? like performance wise, the loading times etc. I enabled this because some of my households even if they were in my favorites disappeared, the 1st generations are gone and the other families were disconnected because of the culling. Like I have a 4th Gen family where the 1st gen on the maternal side all got culled, I cant rebuild the genealogy that far its to much.

Because I play a lot of households, I'm slowly connecting them all so I'm consolidating the households and building the family history generation by generation. I want my households to have some sort of history to them and be able to see the entire family tree. But the culling is getting in the way so I enabled the Bypass.

Anyways to anyone who can answer this, I thank you in advance for answering me. :D

As I wrote the family tree has a limit on what it can show. Played characters (and favorited) don't get culled but they can die and their ghosts later be culled if you do not play them.

It looks to me like you are really talking about the limitations of the genealogy tree which is a max of five generations that can be shown. There may be a mod that can extend this. I am not sure though.

Thank you for answering @jpkarlsen
So even if I Bypass sim culling it would still delete my previous sims? I just really want to keep my family tree safe in game with no sims disappearing because families branch out and if one disappears it cuts out the other branch families. One time I had a family who started with the a single father and two sons who each and respective families later on but one of the brothers got culled and the connection got cut. This is why I want to save the family trees.
Thank you

Thanks again

I'm not familiar with what that setting does. You can probably get better support with that on the authors Discord. Link is where you got the mod.
