Sim Genealogy Panel

So if you look at the pic below you can see that my sims grandparents on his dad's side are showing up at dead and unknown. I was wondering if there is a way to fix this? I actually put these two sims back in the game and made put all the relationships together the way I want them but I can't fix this panel for my generations to come?

    There are websites that allow you to manually create family trees. I personally use Family Echo. Technically it’s intended for real-life genealogy, but there’s nothing stopping one from creating a Sims family tree.
  • The Sime 4 deletes ghosts after a certain amount of time. When the ghost is deleted, it is removed from the family tree. You will get a notification saying that their spirit is leaving. If you don't want the game to delete the ghost, you have to do certain interactions with their grave, such as mourn or leave sugar skulls. That way, they can stay on your family tree. After a ghost is deleted, it will never show up again.

    I think the reason they delete ghosts from the game and the family tree probably has something to do with the memory capacities of the game.

    That is unfortunately the only way to keep dead relatives in your family tree, unless you want to use an outside website to keep track of them.

    In my opinion, the family trees in the Sims 4 are not very good, and I wish it wasn't such a hassle!

    This is so sad! I miss the family trees from TS3
