There is no way to make them siblings in game they have to be born that way You can change their sexual orientation to become incompatible with each other.
It seems like the game will prevent the choice one the romantic relationship bar has been set in.
The only thing I can suggest is to save the sims to My Library, set them to siblings, and re-add them back. This will destroy the relationships and the inventory, but the skills, traits, careers etc should stay. If you can find a way to completely destroy the relationship so these sims don't know each other, you'll either have to accept it or do the My Library/Gallery method.
@913735837 Not sure if any of this will help, but just in case... About a year ago I had a family that I wanted to combine that were actually all related, but I had saved them to the library (or some similar dynamics) and lost the relationship of most of them to each other. I needed to fix this in order to play them in a new save as a combined household. These are the notes I took on what I did:

SpoilerNot sure what all was needed of this, but I separated all 8 Sims (including the child/children) and saved them individually into my library. Then...
1. In Manage World/World Map view I clicked "Create New Household to Move In" (lower right corner). This opens CAS.
2. I left in the 'default, game-created Sim' and clicked my 'Open the Gallery' icon in CAS to view 'My Library', and chose one of my individually-uploaded Sims
Sim > 'Placed Household' > Merge Household? > then choose "Merge". Now the Sim is in the new household.3. I deleted the 'default, game-created Sim', then I proceeded to add all of the rest of my individually-uploaded Sims from my library in the same manner.
4. I made everyone but the two original parents of the adult children (plus they are grandparents to a couple of the household Sims) children. So the whole household was made of children and the two original parents (who are also grandparents).
5. Then I went through one at a time... made the two adults married and parents to their children (and checked for visa-versa).
6. Then I aged up their two children to adult. I made them parent to their children in the household (and checked for visa-versa).
7. Then I aged up the daughters-in-law and made them wives and moms to their children (and checked for visa-versa).
I went through then and double checked, that everyone had the correct relationship to each other. I had to re-add their traits for the most part, I think they still had their jobs and skills!
