How to import grandparents.
I’ll start by saying I’m on the PlayStation five. That means no mods. I created a couple married them off and they had a baby. Then I went to a new save with the saved, grown-up baby. The baby had a ...

Yes, this is what I did. Thank you for your help. It seems to work if you start by importing the great grandparents first. But the game seems not to recognize that they are the great grandparents. You lose the friendships, but it’s done anyway. Thank you.
@spiritedtreasure It's not an ideal system but it's what we have. Hopefully you're able to make it work.
When you said the game doesn't recognize great-grandparents, do you mean it doesn't assign the actual label or they're not showing in Genealogy? The relationship labels only go back to Grandparent when looking in the Relationship panel. However, the great-grandparents should still show in the family tree.
What I mean is that they showed up as great grand parents in the family tree. But when I went to meet them with her, they didn’t show up as anything, just friends. So when I went to visit the grandmother and the mother yesterday. They were both crying and crying and I didn’t understand why until I tried to visit the great grandparents and they’re dead. Nobody lives there anymore. And apparently there is no urn if the NPC doesn’t die in front of you. Or the townie. I got no notification because the game doesn’t realize that they are related.
A bit weird.
@spiritedtreasure Oooh! Okay. Thanks for the extra information. You're right that the game does not track great-grandparent relationships even though they're in the family tree. It would be nice if they would add that and I've seen some feedback posts asking for more extended family relationships, so we're not alone in wanting it. You're also correct that you do not get urns from sims if they die while you're not playing them. The only way I know of to get an urn after a death is with a mod and some cheats, unfortunately. It's definitely odd that you did not get a notification about the deaths if your sim was friends with them. Although, I believe the sims have to be at least "good friends" to get that notification.
No, we weren’t good friends yet. I was working on that. They seem to be in a world of their own to be honest. I’m glad I brought them in but to be honest if I had known that it would’ve been like that I probably wouldn’t have. So I have moved into their house and I have found a couple of magic looking gravestones in de bug that I set out to be their “graves”. This is my ancient spellcaster, so all her ancestors are/were spellcasters. It’s a nice little house made by Lilsimsie.
added: i’m on the PlayStation five, so no mods for me.
