@NykoIaz Moving this to tech for troubleshooting as mods aren't supported by EA and editing relationships is limited for a reason without mods/cheats.

Part of this also sounds like feedback suggestions from your part.

I am bit unclear what you did though. What relationships did you change ? Do you have an example ?

There are a few bug reports on family tree issues, if that's what you're seeing you can add your voice there:

@crinrict I moved in a new family from gallery, husband and wife, and I moved in another family, supposed to be the female’s mother and father, but the game only let me set the man as father, but not the women as mother. So I had to use MCCC. but then the game decide that the female sim’s mother is her step mother instead of a biological one...

    @NykoIaz also, the game adds a empty grey box, linked to the father, supposed to be the female sim’s birth mother?

    ( In my original post I confused father and mother, but either way, my sims only has one parent linked to her, another “real parent” is grey out )

    I managed to fix it for now.. but I don’t see how this could be a mod problem instead of the game’s failure to recognize and process changes in relationships..

      @NykoIaz If the game doesn't let you set the relationship, there's usually a reason. Mods let you do almost anything the game wouldn't allow for whatever reasons so that can lead to unexpected results. If there's indeed an issue that you can't set relationships when you should, then I agree it's a bug but to find that out, I'd like to troubleshoot this in more details.

      What age groups were they ?

      Do you have links to the families you tried ?

        @crinrict Well, mother and father were at first adults, I aged them up in CAS, and the female is Bella Goth from the game.. I used the Bachelor family from the gallery, by a player named “b4soong” Don’t know how to link it, sorry.
