@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:
(Click spoiler tag)
Not 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!
