Why are some Sims gone from my family tree in The Sims 4? PLEASE MAKE UPDATE!

I realize that there are several threads on this topic, but I'm making a new one in hopes that there will be a fix for it one day as it is most definitely not fixed and hasn't been for years. I see the icon of a character one of my sims was married to, but it's blank. Then she died and he remarried, but her icon is not there at all. I didn't have any children with the second wife, but that still doesn't explain why his first wife's icon is blank. I didn't delete either of them; they both died of old age. Is it possible that they were culled? Even so, that doesn't explain why the second wife has disappeared altogether. 

I did try to download MCCC unsuccessfully. I got fed up with it, so deleted it from my system entirely, repaired and updated my game. I'm not sure if that's what did it or not since I hadn't looked at my family tree prior. 

I really wish that there could be an update for this!

    @wuebker1992  Family trees break, unfortunately, and it's a problem that has been reported many times over the years.  I'm sure it's on the Sims team's radar, but beyond that, I have no idea when or even if it'll get fixed.

    In your screenshot, you're looking at the family tree through a sim who's not in the direct line of the second wife, and as you said, there are no half-siblings or cousins to account for.  So maybe the game just doesn't consider that wife to be part of the current sim's tree.

    @wuebker1992  I could not find a specific bug report for this, and if no bug report is made for the issue, there is no guarantee that it reaches the Sims Team, the developers responsible for the game. You could look in the Bug Report section to see if you find one; and if you don't, make a new one. I am sure all legacy players will eventually click Me Too on it.
