Partnered Sims turn into siblings

Despite many efforts, I have a relationship in my save that the only romantic interaction they can perform is 'offer massage'. I will list the troubleshooting I have already tried:
- uploaded household to gallery, new household still has problem
- I use mods/cc, I tried turning off all mods/cc and problem still there
- tried the "clean folder" technique, created new EA folder and added previous save in new folder
- used MCCC to delete relationship bits, everyone but spouse
- bit "sisters" keeps popping up despite me removing it, not sure how to get rid of the repeating bit
- When I use cas.fulleditmode they are listed as spouses but you can’t change it to anything else, though other relationships has the option for 'partners'
Any help is greatly appreciated! I'm hoping this is just a typical sims bug and fixes with time

Saving your entire household in your gallery and restoring it will not help, nor will disabling and re-enabling your mods (although you should always do this just in case). You will not be able to change relationships by deleting them via the profiles in Sims with UI cheats or even by using cas.fulleditmode, as relationships cannot be redefined.
The only way (I have found ) is to:
- Save your Sims one by one in your gallery.
- Delete the entire family.
- Create a new household.
- Replace the Sims one by one.
- Recreate the family relationships as you add them (if you do this at the end, there is a chance that one of the children will consider one of the parents to be their uncle/aunt or brother/sister)
You'll lose the family tree and everything, but it's the only way I could find, and I saved a save file that was important to me that way.
This bug occurs especially if you have blended families (when one of the parents has a child on their side), if one of the parents has an alien child, or if you have cloned one of the parents using the machine available in the science career in the ‘Get to Work’ add-on.
