How do I edit family relationships?

Recently I've been recreating my favourite families from my Sims 2 days so that I can play them on Sims 4 and by 'families' I mean one huge interconnected family which involves uncles, aunts, cousins, great grandparents etc etc. There's at least 20 members so obviously I can't create them all in one go and sort out all their relationships there and then. I've made them all separately and have painfully pieced together all of the family relationships (or so I thought).

Anyone familiar with the Curious siblings? Jenny (Smith), Lazlo, Pascal, and Vidcund? They're the problem. On my sims 4 recreation, Jenny's family tree says she is the sister of all 3 of the Curious brothers, however Lazlo for some reason is not the brother of Vidcund and Pascal, despite being Jenny's brother (who is also their sister). I was hoping the game would automatically correct Lazlo's relation to the other brothers but no.

testingcheats true + cas.fulleditmode haven't helped me because my only options are to make Lazlo their father or son, or to have no relation at all ('Cannot edit pre-existing sims'). I've also tried the ID relationshipbit thingie and it didn't work.

I could leave it as it is and pretend I never realised but I just know it's going to bug me, so can anyone help please?

    @Psychotps I managed to sort it out but I assume you didn't see the message. Thanks for your help anyway.🙂

    I had to delete Lazlo and his family because he was the one causing the problem and then I added the family back into the save and got the siblings in one household. As 3 were already related, when adding a brother/sister relation to Lazlo for one sibling, the rest automatically changed to brother/sister.

    MCCC is a script mod that allows you to cheat various things for your sims. It is like the testingcheats cheat from sims 2. You can edit a whole load of things from a menu which you wouldn't be able to do in un modded sims 4. I can't remember what it stands for but if you search up sims 4 mccc there will be a website for it.

    Me too. And MCCC is a mod, but I've never tried it. Hope there's a mod free solution to this haha

    Do you have a solution for console? I create a woman and a son and a guy and a son. (Basically two single parents living together)

    Somehow the son of the woman is now claiming the guy is father.

    I am Consol player and also need help with this problem, so I put two households in the same house and I want to make two of the sims brothers but even with the cas cheat enabled it won’t allow me to do this. Yes both sims are the same age and interestingly it will allow me to set as a brother all other housemates just not the two I want. I am a PS5 player.

  • The only issue I’m having with this is every time I edit a sim in CAS, it will reset every relationship cheat I’ve done with MCCC. Is there a way I can fix this or do I just have to keep doing it after every CAS edit?
