Why are neglected kids still on the family tree unaged?

I'm sure this must have been addressed previously. It's gone on for a long time now and doesn't seem to be mentioned on the bugs list. I know this is well known about though.  CHILDREN who are whisk...

@bellalala93 Yea, I see what you're getting at. Several generations later, seeing all of them but ONE all dead would drive the OCD in me bonkers.

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!

    @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...

    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!
