Genetics glitch

I'm searching answers.ea bug reports for this-- is this what you're experiencing?

eta: looks like this person had something similar, and used MCCC to fix it up afterwards? I'm skim-reading, so may be missing fine points.

If neither of those help, I only made it through a few pages of the bug-report search results. If you like, you can fine-tune your own search there--I have to go! :smile:

The second problem looks more like it, but I don't really understand how MCCC works (I'm not a huge fan of mods anyway). If there is no other solution (apart from the one about deleting the Sim and then adding them again - this Sim happens to be one of my favourites), I guess I'll download it. If I do that and then uninstall it, will it mess anything up?

I resisted mods for several years, but finally started using MCCC after the patch that eliminated some of the original cheats, 'cuz I needed to restore some broken relationship bits, if possible. So I hear you!

I've never had MCCC break anything. I pull the Mod folder out of the TS4 folder (move it up one level to the EA folder) before I get the latest patch, & of course I wait until the mod's updated or verified as compatible (I get that info 1st from SimsVIP & then from the MCCC website). Once I've verified or updated, I move the (updated) mods back into the TS4-level folder.

It's less work than updating NRAAS, as there are fewer modules.

Hope this info is helpful!

It is, thanks! :)

Unfortunately, it looks like it's not just that Sim or that save file. I just tried to edit one of my other households and apparently, the mum wasn't related to any of her kids either. (Somehow, she's still related to her granddaughter, though. ?) I created this household weeks ago, and this is the first time I've noticed a problem.

In my case, the glitch only seems to affect female Sims who were created from the genetics of relatives who were created in a different household. I hope EA fixes this in the next patch.

I'm sorry! I'd try to help you troubleshoot your game if I knew enough. All I can do is sympathize (& bump your thread, hah!) & suggest that you could, if you like, add a post to the bug-report that's most similar to your own, or post a bug-report of your own over at answers.ea, or ask for help on the technical issues forum over there. I don't know which is most appropriate.

Wishing you luck, & the notice of someone who is experienced with troubleshooting!

That's okay, MCCC seems to be helping. Thanks for recommending it to me! :)
