Ideas
Hi, I'd like to report an error that I noticed regarding dynasties and family connections just a couple of days ago. I searched in the forums and I believe that some of the other users have encontered a similar error.
I discovered it when I was playing a sim family who is supposed to have a secret child/father connection with another sim in another household, but when I checked that secret family connection was gone, and the forged connection with the "father", who is married to the mother, was listed as a normal (biological) parent-child connection.
At that point I used the MCCC to correct this link, so that the biological father and the stepfather will be listed as such, and then disabled MCCC by deleting it.
On the other hand, I also noticed during the same time that a pre-made noble sim (Enzo Alto) had lost his dynasty logo and his title. I went to check in Ondarion and saw that all of the noble families (including one noble family that I made) had lost their dynasty statuses too. Other than that, all forged connections (Darong-Ananou for example), as well as deceased sim relations who are not in world (Capp descendants except for Consort, Thebe descendants, Zhu-Vatore descendants) have disappeared.
I figured then I will just try to restore all of it as much as I can MANUALLY, by downloading the deceased sims and restoring their family connections in CAS; I managed to restore the Zhu-Vatore family. But then as I was trying to restore the dynasties, I noticed that even when I tried to found a new dynasty (was using the Thebe family), it showed as if I had reset an existing dynasty : notifications showing dynasty prestige levelling down, etc, and when I wanted to name the heir - same one as the one in my saves - it couldn't select that person (in this case it was Cordelia and Thiago's child). I tried to unmake the heir and rename the same child as heir, but it didn't work either. Other than that, the noble titles did not reappear despite them being in the noble career when I restored the dynasties, and neither did the floral decorations on the family tree
I feel like the game is unable to read some aspects of the game, namely dynasties and family trees? I'm not sure if the mod has something to do with it. I tried reloading a save file that I have just BEFORE installing the mod but AFTER realizing the secret child connection was gone and it still had the same problem. Not sure if mods are able to alter old save files, but judging from the 'modified' timestamp in the folders they don't seem to have changed after I installed MCCC.
On a side note, I do change premade sims' families, especially with children (because it's too long to wait for them to have a baby, grow up, etc). I use aging only for active played households, and not all the time either.
In short :
- Secret family connections lost
- Dynasties and noble titles lost, but seemingly still exist??
- Family connections via deceased sims lost
- Tried using MCCC to alter family connections (for one family) and then uninstalled it
- Only have 1 save file before installing the mod. Have no save file where all of the family connections / dynasties are normal
- I modify premade sims families in CAS to add children / age some sims
- Aging only for the active household. No auto aging for inactive / unplayed households / townies
- I have a lot of sims (about 100 played sims in households)
Sorry it's a long one, storytelling is pretty important to my game and I'd really like to have all of it fixed if possible! Thanks in advance (':

Also :
- Neighborhood stories only switched on for friendship and career changes, and on other households
- A sim in my household (has a deceased, playable ghost partner, has a son) suddenly has a secret family with some random townie (generated) family that she doesn't even know
- Lucha Harjo died despite neighborhood stores swtiched off, and having never tinkered with the Harjo Family. Maybe I just didn't notice it especially since it's winter at the moment in my game and he died of freezing lol
Thanks again
