Shouldn't that be enough to protect all the sims from culling/pruning? Well, I played for 10 minutes now, checked the family tree and boom ... blank portraits. Is there something I've done wrong with the settings? Very disappointed as I had been looking forward to finally be able to play again. :(

Just checking -- but after you made the changes (bypass culling "true") did you restart the game? I'm pretty sure those settings are the ones that once you change them, you have to do a restart. Also, not sure if it matters for culling, but you might need the "population_usecustom" set to true, also. Edit: it does matter, so you might want to double check that it's set to true. It should be set to true by default, but just in case!
If neither of those help, I'm sure there are other things to check, too!
Edit 2: The settings:
"Cleaner_BypassFamilyGhosts": true,
"Cleaner_CleanGhosts": false,
"Population_BypassCulling": true,
"Population_UseCustom": true,
Also, if you do logging:
"Logging_Append": true,
"Logging_Enabled": true,
Thank you so much for your reply, @sabreene :)
Yes, I did restart the game after fixing the settings (there was a message that said I would have to restart in order for it to work).
I checked all the settings again now, and they're as you've listed them. I don't use logging, so haven't changed anything there.
It should be working, but it isn't. At this rate I'll have to wait for EA to fix the problem, which means I probably won't be able to play for a ... long time. So this is kind of frustrating!
Edit: Reinstalling the mod, to see if that fixes it.
Here's new info... after that happened to someone else and they sent Deaderpool a copy of their game... he's now updated the downloads with MORE culling cut-offs. Apparently, at least one more method was hiding behind what he's already disabled.
Fix is up, but he had this to say: (post 3444 in the mod thread)

I am uploading a new version shortly. The only thing it has in it is another culling fix and a couple of minor fixes.
If you are really needing the culling fixes so your game won't wipe out your Sims, please redownload. You will have to redownload all MCCC mods you are using including Woohoo if you do this. I made some core changes that will break any module that you do not re-download if you get any parts of this new version. Also, I haven't had the chance to do extensive testing on this bug fix so it's less "stable" I would consider than yesterday's release. However, if you need the culling fix, you want this.
No additional translations will be needed for this version either.

One of those minor fixes tagging along is something I saw, so I'm going to reinstall it all with the new pieces and see what's what. Pass the word, gang, folks having culling NEED to get this. Thanks!
