Order of sims in household inconsistent with age

I'm not exactly sure which patch broke this, but it was within the last few months. When I load a household of four young adults, the YA sims' order is different than in CAS, and even giving them all potions of youth in the order they are in CAS will not fix the issue consistently.

For example, I have two married YA sims and two YA siblings unrelated to the married couple. The siblings should be after the married couple as they are younger, but they aren't. In CAS, they are in order: married husband, married wife, male sibling, female sibling, but the order in live mode was at first completely reversed, and now after potions of youth the order is: married husband, male sibling, married wife, female sibling.

It's a small thing overall, but it's rather annoying anyway.

  • If you use mccc you can use it to set their exact ages as just (for example) 1 day apart from each other in the order you want them and then enter/leave cas and it should re-order them as oldest on the left to youngest on the right in live mode.  It's the only way I've found to manually control the order.

    Oh, I have something like that. My main sim family is a married YA couple, their child-aged daughter, twin toddlers, and a dog. In live mode, they are in that same order. In CAS, the twin toddlers come first, then the rest of the family members. The female sim was created when I started the save file and is listed first, the husband is a base game townie, all their kids were born in-game, and the dog was created and added in CAS. I think it's been like this since the toddlers were born (April), but I'm not exactly sure.
