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...

@JonaO703 Yea, that's always been a limitation. They need to be one age group higher (at least?). Not sure if that goes for teens as well. If the kids are teen and YA, and the parent is Adult, can the adult be parent to the teen?

Glad its working for you! It worked fine for me once I moved the sim to library and back.

@Psychotps Yes, in my test save, one of the siblings is a teen, which I think was part of the problem for me.  When I added the parents for the teen, they generated as YA but I didn't realize that at first.  Then it dawned on me that adding parents for the YA sibling created Adult parents both of whom were set as parents for the siblings.  I felt rather dumb afterwards but that's why I added my "edit" response to check for the possible age conflict.  :-/  I think you mentioned we learn through the process.  It's one of the reasons I started trying to help players here.  I enjoy helping, even if it's not perfect, but I'm' also learning a lot. I really appreciate you and others for helping too. :-)

    @JonaO703Just FYI... tested this quickly and Elder, Adult, and YA, can all be parents of anyone lower than their age group. So, Elder can be parents of anyone from Adult down to toddler. Adults can be parents of YA to toddler... and so on.
