I opened up an older file that I played thru 11 generations just to test out the new family tree. It doesn't happen for all sims but sometimes I will select a sim and they disappear and the whole tre...

Yup. I went to check out the new family tree stuff using one of my larger/messier extended families, and even though it's small compared to legacy gameplay (3 gens/24 sims, including a nonexistent placeholder sim the tree puts in place to connect some siblings) there's some sims that keep overlapping in one spot, but not always? It depends on which sim is selected.
The family consists of one (placeholder) sim on the top row, their 4 kids (and their 2, 0, 3, and 1 partner(s) respectively) on the second row, and 12 kids on the third row. But Rigel (the youngest of the blue kids) keeps overlapping with his cousins. Which cousin he overlaps with changes depending on which family member is selected, and in a few cases, you can actually see all the sims' pictures but they aren't grouped in their (half)-sibling groups properly and the lines overlap in a messy/confusing way. The third set of siblings (Jenny's kids) don't glitch out at all.
I'm also unclear about how the family tree chooses to display sims' partners on the tree when they have children with multiple other sims. Based on this sample size of one (lol) it seems to me that when they have children with two different sims, both partners appear at once, but once you get to 3 co-parents, only one shows up (without changing the tree pov to one of the other kids) ? And while I would expect (assuming all partners have the same relationship status with the sim) the most recent partner to display in that situation, it seems to pick the earliest one? Is that behaviour consistent with what other people are seeing? And is it the intended behaviour?
But yeah. While I like the better relationship labelling, the tree itself does not seem to be happy with the changes.
(there have been mods in this save but they were removed and cache files were deleted before these pictures were taken. also, i can provide pictures of what the tree looks like from the pov of each sim on the tree, if that's helpful for figuring out any potential patterns of when the tree collapsing/overlapping happens)
