[RL] Child doesn't receive a noble title if not the active household when born

I've been playing a rotational save, Mac, no mods.

Cordelia is now Queen of Ondarion, so Thiago is King by marriage. But Cordelia & Thiago's twin children, born while I was playing a different household, do not have any noble title. The game thinks they're commoners.

I tested having Cordelia have another baby. If I'm actively playing the Thebe household, the baby is born a prince or princess. But if the baby is born while I am playing another household, the child doesn't receive a noble title at all.

What should happen: Children of Kings/Queens/Monarchs should be born Prince/Princess even if they're not the active household when born.

Should say Prince Russell, because parents are King/Queen of Ondarion. But instead there is no noble title for the children.The first two children were born while I was playing another household, and have no noble title or border in the family tree. The newborn was born while I was actively playing the Thebe family, and was born a Princess.

I have a save file set up with Cordelia in labor if EA needs to replicate the bug.

Does anyone know of a workaround cheat to get the titles back?

Edited to add Workaround: To recover noble titles for the children, the noble parent(s) need to be promoted, or (if the parents are already King/Queen) demoted then promoted. That should fix issues with the spouse/children's titles.

Evicting the household then moving them back in demotes any household sims in the Noble career. Or to quickly demote / promote with cheats, with testing cheats on, use "careers.demote noble" / "careers.promote noble"

    There's another similar report. Checking with CM if they want this merged

    Were the children in the dynasty for you ?

    No, they weren't born into the dynasty. I had to add them manually when I switched to the household.

    They age up to infant with the Blue Blood trait, but no title and obviously none of the bonus traits for being born into a dynasty. (I cheated to give them the Mild Physical Affinity trait they should've been born with)

    Yeah sound the same then.

    Did you play the family and initiate the pregnancy, then switch or let NS do it's thing ?

    Yeah, I initiated the pregnancy.

    I can see in the Thebe family tree where the Montys had a few kids with NS though, and they didn't join their dynasty. (They're not noble so I can't check titles.)

    Noble Career promotion/demotion seems to reset the titles. So the workaround for the kids (if the parents are already monarchs) is to have a parent abdicate, or cheat to demote and re-promote. Or evict and move them in again, which would demote them a level.

    The only work around for now would be to use MC Command center and turn on pause labor. You will get a pop up whenever a sim is about to give birth and then you can go into that household and be present
