One thing you can try if you can put them all into the same family, is to go into edit and save the family. If you use the create a household, to move into a home tool, select them from your library, you SHOULD be able to edit THAT version on the way to moving them in, then delete the old family (drastic, and it would delete certain things, but not skills and job progress).
Sometimes the game won't let you change it because of ages, but I'm guessing you know that.
I thought of doing that but feared it would sever his relationship with his three kids, which he has between two female sims. Not to mention he has three sisters, so there wouldn't be enough room to merge the households and fix them all.
So I tried MCCC rel_set, and it worked for the most part, but there's still a problem: his mother as a grandmother to his kids. I was able to set them all as family, and his father now shows as is his kids grandfather, and his sisters are now his kids aunts. But his mom doesn't show up as the grandma of his kids, they're merely acquaintances. Why is it always an issue with ONE sim. This is so frustrating. Why does it have to be so difficult?
Is the stubborn grandmother living in the house? Because you could save the game, move her out into a family by herself, go in to edit her, save her as a family, delete her, then use the save to create a new version of her, put the new one back in the family, and see if it will let you change HER status as a family member. It may not work, but if she's bugged in some way, maybe it will clear it? In any case, if it doesn't work, just go back to your save.
