Relationships dissapeared
I'm playing rotational gameplay with 4+ families (who all are related to each other) and I'm in the middle of the third generation/beginning of the fourth. When I closed the game yesterday everything was fine but when I opened it up today and went straight into the family I played with yesterday all their relationships were gone. Even the clubs they were in were gone. I went around checking my other families and they had the exact same issue. Their family tree was as it should be but they didn't remember any family members anymore, not even those in their household. (No sims had disappeared from the game, all played and non played were still around. I keep very good track of all the sims in the save, even NPC's)
I checked an earlier save file with these sims and the issue was not there but I've progressed way too much between those savefiles to pick up from there. I'm also worried the issue would just appear in that save file after a while too.
The lifespan I play with is very long (for example pregnancies last for 21 in-game days instead of the normal 3) so you can imagine how long I've played this legacy family. I really need to fix this issue.
I do play with mods but this has not happened in any of my other gameplays with different sims and I had not downloaded anything new since way before this issue began, there also have not been any new updates that would alter the game. I've also removed all my mods to see but obviously, it did not bring back the relationships. I have played sims for years and years with mods and cc and nothing like this has ever happened. I'm also very particular with what I put in my game and keep my mod folder very tidy.
I've searched around and I've seen others with this issue (unfortunately from years ago) but no answers on how to fix it or prevent it from happening again. I'd be eternally grateful if I could get some help with this, in the meantime, I guess I'll have my 30+ active sims go around re-meeting all their friends and family in another save...
PS!: I had noticed the first generation of two siblings no longer remembered each other and so had slit my legacy into two different family trees but that was a while back and I do not think it had anything to do with this glitch. One of the siblings had also passed away so I figured that contributed to their family bonds disappearing.
UPDATE!: This bug/clitch also seems to have removed all custom calendar events and holidays.
