Not sure this is a relationship setting bug or something else

Hi, I have 5 sims in my household. 2 of them, female S and male S were siblings and had the same parents when they were children. But I brought one each separately into my game from other simmer's family, and now they can do romantic interaction. Actually this is connected to my other posting, 'flirting to friend'. She flirted with her ex sibling male S. So now I'm trying to reset them to a sibling as what they used to to be. But I can see only Husband or Wife..between them. But they can be set to siblings with other 2 sims. So I'm wondering there would be any specific rule to be set as siblings between them. I aged male S up to adult and tried but it still shows only wife..;; But I can change the relationship to siblings with her current young adult fiancee..? And her ex boyfriend G sim can be her brother as well..? Only she cannot be a sister of the male S who had been a real blood tied brother.. Is there any good tip to set the 2 S sims as a sibling? I appreciate all helps. thanks.

  • @aodoherty Are you playing on PC or console?

    It's easy to fix on PC with mods. Not so easy on console.

    Because you merged them separately, you lost their sibling relationship. They are now roommates and subject to romance.

    But they now have a NEW relationship. If you take them into CAS, you won't be able to change it as long as they have this new "roommate" relationship. You'll need to remove it.

    Easiest way is to install MCCC. Use it to completely delete their existing relationship. Then take them into CAS and you'll be able to set their Sibling status back on.

    I've done what you suggested on MC Commander but didn't work. Am I allowed to upload the MCC menu here? Just let me know it's illegal, then I will delete them. 🙂

    @daikoyuHow can I do that? Could you help me how to do? Thanks.

    Your problem is not your female sim, but your other sim J.

    I think J-family tree is so yes? (screen 1)

    You need to make that his family tree is so (screen 2)

    @daikoyuI prefer the vanilla way if there is, but it will be sad if I delete their previous parents in family tree. ☹️ Anyway I already removed MC Commander. Usually I don't use it. But anyway, I'd love to learn the way of removing the family tree. No worries. I can wait until you are free. 🙂

    This is SimX, he has a bad relationship with his parents, and will no trace from them in his tree.

    <Remove Image>

    We load SimX in CAS and remove SimA and SimB.

    <Remove Image>

    We save SimX in my library.

    <Remove Image>

    Now we leave the CAS, without saving and use cas.fulleditmode.

    <Remove Image>

    Now we should have two Options: First we remove all trace or we replace it.

    First replace it: SimX want a witch family so i use my Witch-family and go there in CAS.  We load the CAS and add Simx from my libary. Now you can set the relationships there and this is now his family tree. (Mother A, Mother B, Sibling B)

    <Remove Image>

    Remove the TREE!

    First use cas.fulleditmode now i load my Witch-family again. I add SimX to the family but let the standard settings.

    <Remove Image>

    Now I can split the household and this version from SimX save in my library/gallery. He should now always have no family tree if I place him in my world. 

    (This Sim a precious for me, so I delete the images.. had should use another Sim for)

    @daikoyu I read your explanation for a couple of times and eventually understood!! Thanks a lot. :D I don't think it will be possible for my current household. They are imported from my friend simmer's game., so I will need the previous game for this, but it's ok, I can just play them as friends. Thanks very much! I learned the very good tip. :D

    Ah, now see it, maybe you could use MCC for it. After you delete your Relationship with SymbolSim you can maybe use under MCC-Relationship Add Relationship or Set Active Relationship for Lot… I know MCCC in Sims 3 you can add Siblings in this way, or maybe sims 4 Set Family Relationship Mod can help you? (google it, is a mod from simsmodelsimmer)

    And yes, without lose your family tree, you cannot restore the sims to sibling status. Is sadly so works vanilla.

    @daikoyuYeah I know you can always add or remove family in the sims 3 with NRaas MC mod.I tried the sims 4 set family relationship mod but it's more for expanded relationship such as uncle, aunt, parents in law or great grand parents something like that. No worries. 🙂 If there's no way, then I'm ok to play them as friends. I wouldn't have the chance to learn this system without you. I appreciate you. 🙂

    [update]

    I removed all images as they are not my sims. Hope everyone here  understand this. :-)

    [Update]

    I made the 2 sims to siblings using MCCC. It was so easy. I didn’t have to delete the relationship between them. I simply chose ‘add relationship’ on mccc menu.  Thanks.
