Complications changing family tree
Hi! So I have a 7 sim family. I recently decided that I wanted to add parents to one of the already adult sims, so I enabled testingcheats and cas.fulleditmode to create the sims and the relationship...

I made a test save and tried this, I deleted them from the world and added them again. All their (non player) sim relationships were gone, their inventories were empty and I still couldn't add the father relationship for that specific adult.
I can add it to any other sim in the family, but not to the one I already did it for which definitely points to it being the game thinking it's a relationship that still exists. So it's only the one sim with the "pre existing" deleted father that I can't do this on.
Unfortunately I've made quite the progress since then, so it would be very tedious to have to do it all again. I remember even thinking after I realized I saved the game that "oh no, I hadn't saved in ages before this" right after I tried adding the father. I wish I hadn't been so lazy, haha.
@phoenixjklin I definitely understand not wanting to lose a ton of progress. Maybe just humor me and take a look at the saves available to restore. There is an auto save feature in TS4 and you might be surprised that one may exist which has at least some of the progress you made in the game. I only learned of the number of saves available a few weeks ago. It was a little tedious finding the right save because I didn't know the exact time of the save I needed but after a bit of trial and error, I found that save and only lost a couple days' progress.
Edit: Also, I wouldn't call it lazy. There have been a number of times I wanted to kick myself after a crash, thinking "why haven't I been saving more often???" I didn't realize at the time that there are a number of auto saves available in the load menu. We learn as we go. :-)
