Sim does not know his family anymore?

I am playing a rotational save and right now I am with the Landgraabs. All of a sudden Geoffrey does not know Nancy or Malcolm, not even the dogs they have had like forever, the others still acknowlege one another but just not Geoffrey, so what di I do? Anyone else had this issue? <3

  • It happens because of culling, people in the same club can also forget probably why taking photos gives so much relationship. Maybe have them take a few pictures together just for that and just delete them all after to keep them friendly.
  • Maybe it's an issue with relationship culling. I hate that so I always turn it off with MCCC.
  • Thanks guys, I checked the culling settings in MCCC and it was set to EAXIS so I changed it :)
  • Yeah, this has been how it works for ages and I really wish they'd change it. No matter how out of touch a parent and child become they should never FORGET WHO THE OTHER IS, lmao.
  • If you had a vampire sim use I think the drain life spirit ability on them they'll forget everyone. The alien erase memory power also removes some relationships. I had an occult club that has using powers as a club activity and I had to remove it because they were autonomously doing this to my other households.
  • So going into a detail a bit on this.. you know tab tab that shows the sims you recently came into contact with? There's a limit to how many sims can be in that tab. When that limit is reached, one of those sims is replaced with another sim you met, and the sim being replaced becomes forgotten.
  • I wish they would just totally freeze relationship levels when you are not playing a household. It's ridiculous to have to use a mod to make sure our sims don't forget their families and best friends.

    It is one of the few things that I really hate about this game.

    Agreed. It's the main reason I started using mods. It's just one of the times they didn't think about rotational players at all.
  • This happened to the Vatore siblings just last night in my game and it was inexplicable because no one was culled. Lilith had my Sim's baby, then Caleb convinced my sim to leave his ghost wife and marry Caleb. Caleb was listed as the step-dad to his own niece then and I thought maybe that broke the game because suddenly he and Lilith were strangers even though she was still isted as his sister and they were all living at Wolfsbane manor: my sim, his baby with Lilith, Lilith, and his new husband Caleb.

    I shrugged and just had Caleb and Lilith chat away till they were good friends again but wondered what caused it. I also downloaded a house from thr gallery and had Caleb and my sim move into it once the baby was a toddler, leaving her with her mother, and they could not wooohoo at all in the new house. I haven't tried moving them back in with Lilith and Malia to see if it was the house or the game but will have to do that next.
