Step-Parent Relationship Cheat?
My sim had a daughter and then married a woman that wasn't her mom. When my sim married her, she and his daughter originally had the "step-parent/step-child" relationship, but it's somehow disappeare...

thank you for all the replies, but I can deal with the romance mod separately. I don't need help with that. I just want a way for the game to display that she is her step-mother again. it does exist in the game, and it used to be their relationship bit, but for some reason, it disappeared. should I divorce the father and step-mother and get them married again?
@AuroraCeleryI'd have to investigate it, but it sounds like one relationship is overriding the other. Similar to how "Friend" overrides "Acquaintance".
If it's something like you've started a romance (intentionally or accidentally), it might override the "step-mother" relationship and show the other instead.
It shouldn't work like that though. Relationship bits are "bits" for a reason. Family relations are different from Romance relations. Not sure how "step" works into it though. A sim can be "mother" and "Friend" at the same time.
- @Psychotps ah, they became friends after the step-mother married the father, so maybe that's it?
but the relationship bit is separate from the relationship level, so maybe not- @AuroraCelery Thinking out loud: "Family" things like Mother, Sister, Brother are bits. Same as coworker, boss, etc. Relationships like Friend, lover, enemy, aren't. But certain threshholds like progressing from acquaintance to friend to good friend adds relationship bits automatically by the game. Like progressing a romance far enough will automatically add the "Soulmate" bit. Or is that simply a description of the level threshhold?
Not sure exactly how that works. I'm curious to see how "stepmother" works with relationships now. Might do some playing to see.- @Psychotps if you do, I'd like to know what you find out!
