Re: Improved Family Trees

@DracuAlice2017 For the 2 half siblings that are showing up together, did the older sibling ask the step parent to be caregiver? Because if so, that might explain why the family tree is showing the way that it is?

    I know some of them, yes. I was wondering about that as well. I tried to remove a step-parent as a care giver, but maybe I didn't wait long enough or had to save and restart the save. I'd have to go through my saves again.

    Edit: Made a fresh new save with a blended family (older sister has a different father to her younger brother). The father of the older sister exists in the game along with his own family. I have not had the older sister/step-father adopt each other as dependant/caregiver. The family tree is still being wonky.

    Here is the family tree with the older sister's view. It's how it should be. She has not adopted her step-father nor step-mother as caregivers.

    Here is the view of her maternal half-brother, which shows them as full despite them not being full siblings (again, step-dad is not adopted as caregiver and this is fresh out of cas).

    This is the step-dad's family tree and his step-daughter is absent.

    This is from the view of her paternal half-sister. I have no idea why this is showing up properly and not the maternal half-brother's. I didn't do anything differently here.

    Here is the step-mom's family tree. Same problem as step-dad's tree. For some reason, the step-kids don't appear on their step-parent's tree (I've noticed this with step-parents who share a kid(s) with the bio-parents of the step-kids) when looking at the step-kids tree, they show up.
