That a child is taken from a family does not mean that it is not still in the family tree and since you have no newer photos you will have to make do with the latest you have. The same goes for a genealogy page in real life.
In a real genealogy page there would be more info like a birthdate but since that is not possible in the game there is only the image and since that can no longer be updated you have no track of when you taken away sim ages. That can unfortunately not be helped.
Okay look I'm not going to reply to you anymore because A. You're not getting it clearly and B. No offence but your answers are dumb. You can't tell someone how they want to play and see things. This is an error not something made on their part for what you are describing. You won't convince me. Bella out.

@jpkarlsenmakes sense to me. They're completely correct. It could be done better however. If the child is taken away, it would be better if it was placed with another household in the world somewhere, then the image could be updated. But since the child is taken away and sent into limbo, there is nothing to update the image with
It would be nice to have the child taken away and adopted by some random family that you could run into at some later date.
And having birthdates on there would be nice too.
I agree with that, I'm sure something like it happened in sims 2 or 3 (Can't remember which?). I like to play legacies and play you know like Sims 2 used to be mapped out with all of the pre made family trees and stories and lore. I love it! And when there's still a baby on the 2nd gen 6 generations in after they've all died it kinda ruins it for me. Even if there was like a pop up when you hover over the thumbnail saying "neglected" or something you know that stated the baby was taken from the family or something then that could explain why the baby is still viewed as a baby and be like Ooooooh interesting... and you could make your sims "look" at the family tree and try to find their family member or something idk haha. Just makes for more interesting story lines then other than the baby just vanishes from the world leaving just a footprint behind.
Same! I have OCD too and I swear it niggles me no end. I just want to grab the thumbnail with my fingers and get rid of it!
I know I am obsessive with it cos of it, but I wanted to make that one family that is so * at taking care of kids that one gets neglected but doesn't stay a baby with no explanation why theres a random unaged baby on the tree who isn't deceased or noted as neglected haha! I think that's the thing most people are alright with it but OCD makes that one little thing an issue haha!
Birthdays unfortunately are impossible as there are no years in the Sims. You can't even specify a season since not all have this expansion.
I get you I always stray off from it then get back to it again months later haha!
Yeah I do things I don't notice my OCD attacks me in the intrusive thoughts, false memories and the constant "What if I did this?" "if I did this it doesn't make me this does it?" I drive people insane with it haha!
No, not the day of the year. It might be possible to create a tally of how many days you have lived but that would not help here because the child was removed from the game.
@jpkarlsenWell, I suppose the game could keep a running tally of the number of days passed since "New game". (If it doesn't already) That would be easy enough. Simple counter. Then make a record of the "day number" the child was born. The game keeps a record of the current settings for lifespan selected. If the current average lifespan is like 100 days, and the child was born over 200 days ago, then just mark it in the family tree as "deceased". The child doesn't even need to exist and it's a couple of counters, a few INTs and a few tests. Cake.
New game created on Day 0
SusieBirthDay = 2300
CurrentDay = 2600
DaysPassed=CurrentDay - SusieBirthDay
if(DaysPassed > AveLifeSpanDays)
Mark as deceased...
Yes I agree that probably could be done but since it is not something that are wanted by many I suspect it will never happen.
