Returning player here. I aged my sim's son, started a friendship story, and today I noticed that the son was removed from the family portrait and from my sim's contacts. The friendship story was removed as well. I remember yesterday they did have a hangout at the Cafe/Parkside.
I actually found him standing in front of the house. My sim had the option to introduce herself (even with a flirty introduction, ew); he's now in her contacts as an "acquaintance", no longer as "son", and I have the option to start a new friendship story. I'll probably just do that, seeing how this bug has been around for so long, with no chance of being fixed and restoring the family relationship.
There is glitch at Parkside during sts events
If you do a event with passive sim at Parkside during sts then that sim will be removed from home and portrait
He is hanging in town
Search him fast before he ages up
