May 12th: The family tree has not been corrected in this update.
A bug is occurring where the family tree is not displaying correctly.
This is likely due to the settings being based on EA's family tree configuration,
and the loading time is long due to the need for reconfiguration.
I am using a mod, MCCC, for relationship correction.
Phenomena:
1. In cases of polygamy, Sims with sibling relationships will show "Spouse: None." Consequently, single Sims will also show "Spouse: None."
2. In cases of forbidden or taboo relationships, they are replaced with "Stepson" or "Stepchild."
3. The family tree is not per household. Instead, there is no display method to indicate a starting point, such as "Spouse (Main)."
4. The game does not anticipate large families in long-term play.
Due to the reconfiguration based on EA's family tree configuration,
the family tree will not display correctly as you have played.
The save data has already been submitted in the "past," so please use that.
Number 4 as stated above is the big issue underlying all of this. And now that the family tree system has been "reworked" and the game no longer allows manipulation of relbits or relationships (even through mods), there is no way for a player to manually fix all the errors resulting from the borked family tree system. It's unplayable for a legacy-type player. EA, bring back the old family tree system immediately, please. I don't want free baby playmats or layerable clothes, I want to be able to actually purchase R&L and non-Marketplace content (provided you aren't storing it in my appdata). I want to be able to do events again, and update my game. Thanks!

Feels like number 4 is the biggest culprit for family tree collapse before the fix on 12th Feb, as it didnt anticipate large families in long term gameplay, as well as families tree overstretching to the extent that some led to nowhere. But tbh I will begrudgingly tolerate overstretched family trees leading nowhere if they finally fix the wrong connections and other family tree issues, as well as my another issue - CAS cousins, piblings & niblings not treated as family/can romance in some cases (sorry for promoting it once again coz my problem is rather obscure that most people won't typically start their gameplay as pibling or cousin pairs, or even download a pair of pibling or cousin directly from the gallery). Basically them not treated as family under family tree and relationship panel (and gosh they can romance each other coz not considered family in live mode), while being considered as family in CAS is really grating and ruins my legacy save. Tbh I kinda wished the family tree update have never happened on 3rd Feb so all the familial relationships and family trees would work normally, so EA, could you please bring back the old family tree system if the family tree issue is unfixable (more like a toggle switch between old and new family system in the options menu) so I can finally play my game again? I really miss them a lot
