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.
Well, unless they adjust it, the only thing I can say is that this gives you incentive to NOT neglect the children... Negative re-inforcement. Don't neglect children or they will forever be stuck on the family tree, forever unaging... nagging you until the end of time... 😉

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!
- Psychotps5 years agoSeasoned Ace@bellalala93 I don't pay much attention to the family tree any more. I stopped doing generational plays back in Sims 3. After years and years of Sims 1, 2, and 3 generational plays, It's not much fun any more. Now I just putter around in 4 doing odd things.
Luckily my OCD is only a little nag in the back of my mind. I can ignore it most of the time. It mainly controls my subconscious actions. Like if I go to a Subway, Unless someone points it out, I don't even notice myself straightening the bags of chips on the order line... - bellalala935 years agoSeasoned Traveler
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!
