I have a really strange bug about dynasties after updating game - every time I'm travelling, loading family or changing sim's outfit via dresser or CAS, I get a notification for every family member about joining into dynasty. Also, game automatically changes dynasty which sim belongs to. I have sim who is supposed to be in Smith dynasty, but after loading game decides to put this sim in Landgraab Dynasty. I've also noticed sim belongs to two dynasties at the same time - and in one of them remains to be a head of the dynasty (screens attached to this topic - they're in Polish).
I'm playing on mods, also on MCCC, but before turning game on I've updated all the mods. (Sorry for some grammar gaffs, native Polish gamer here :))

Since today's update, any time I switch households and switch back or change lots, I get the "SIM NAME has joined XX Dynasty" pop up for all sims in the dynasty every single time. Super annoying.

Same, also notice the same sim can be in even 3 dynasties. Game also adds random sims (but family-related) which is kinda strange/funny/annoing

I thought it was a new feature allowing sims to be in multiple dynasties.

Mine is doing it as well, but I also noticed that when I popped over to Cordelia's household, Thiago is labeled as part of the Abrantes dynasty but still part of the Thebe dynasty. I tried adding him back again, but then as soon as I changed lots, it changed back. It also does the same thing in a modless save.

Please follow these steps to test your game on vanilla game with no mods/cc
- Create a backup of your save game
- Move your mods folder to the desktop
- Delete the following files from your user folder.
- localthumbcache
- Any lastException Files
- Any LastCrash files.
- Test your save (you will loose all cc on the save but since you created a backup you can go back to that afterwards) and see if the same error occurs, then report back.

I've followed your instruction and the same thing also happened on vanilla game.

Also on a new save or just yours ?

It happened in both situations.

Good evening, I'm a PC player using only MCCC. Since applying the May 12th patch to The Sims 4, I've been experiencing a very troublesome issue. It's happening even with MCCC removed, so I wanted to report it.
It seems a feature has been added that automatically adds blood relatives to a dynasty, but its effect is far too strong. Every time I load a household or enter and exit CAS, it seems a dynasty joining check for Sims is performed. And all blood relative Sims are automatically added to the dynasty based on the check result. Even Sims who are already the head of another dynasty were no exception. He was added to his father's dynasty, a dynasty he had never belonged to before. And because of this, he can no longer open the control panel for his own dynasty…! This inoperable dynasty still appears to the other members as if he is the head, just as before. However, even if he left his father's dynasty on his own, or if his father's dynasty leader was expelled, his dynasty's control panel did not reactivate. Furthermore, even after leaving or being expelled from a dynasty, reloading the household would erase those changes. The same thing happened with other dynasties; Sims related to two dynasties were re-evaluated each time the household was loaded, and instead of the dynasty I had set, the system would arbitrarily decide which one they belonged to.
I've found two workarounds so far. One is to ensure both parents belong to the same dynasty. The other is to create a new dynasty immediately after the troubled Sim leaves the dynasty on their own. In fact, I gave up on trying to regain control of the uncontrollable dynasty and instead created a new dynasty with the troubled Sim, recruited the previous members, and moved them to the new dynasty. This prevented him from being returned to his father's dynasty.
In short, Sims with descent from multiple dynasties, even if they leave a dynasty on their own, or are banished by the current dynasty's leader, are forcibly returned to the dynasty the system arbitrarily decided upon simply by loading a lot.
It seems the only way to break this loop is for those Sims to create a new dynasty themselves.The power of the patch that automatically joins dynasties is truly too strong.

I also have this issue. I've tried removing the Sims from the dynasties, but as soon as I travel etc when the game loads up again, I get a message about so and so having joined the dynasty. It's incredibly annoying. I've tested it with and without mods plus on a fresh save (no mods) and the issue persists.

I have the same issue, it is a pain in the **bleep**. Has anyone found any proper workarounds? The two dynasties in question for me, both have maximum prestige, so I would rather not have to make a new Dynasty

Look, I used to be a programmer, so I understand that sometimes bug just happen, but a bug like this is ridiculous and how long is it going to be before it's fixed? A week? Yeah right, and monkeys might fly out of my ears. A month? Unlikely. Probably six months or more.

Hi I was reading these because I was just forced to update my game I usually play offline but literally was forced to update just to play I knew it was going to be broken I am so tired of being burned, its why I try to play offline.
My game is ruined just like everyone else, I too am a developer and I have to say its so ridiculous how they push code to a live system without testing it. I find it hard to believe the development team at EA doesnt have a testing platform to run on before pushing new code to live.
Unbelievable! It's basic coding procedures! Sometimes I feel these big companies pinch pennies and gut dev teams for AI thinking its God's gift and the new best way to turn more profit, but AI is a tool not an answer. I see more big companies doing this and I would not be surprised if thats the case here. I cant fathom any other reason for such incompetence.

I have this same issue. I have a household where Cordelia V Thebe and Thiago Abrantes had a child, and then later divorced. Their child was supposed to be a member of the Thebe Dynasty like Cordelia, while Thiago left the Thebe dynasty and became a member of his mother's dynasty, Abrantes.
But ever since the May 12 patch, on every single game load, Cordelia's daughter (Cordelia VI) forcibly joins the Abrantes dynasty. Even if I remove her manually. And even though she appears to somehow be part of both the Thebe and Abrantes dynasties when I look at the Thebe dynasty, in the child's own dynasty menu she shows as just a member of the Abrantes dynasty.
Please revert this patch change that forcibly adds sims into dynasties on every game load. It completely breaks the feature of dynasty heads being able to control who is in their dynasty,
And yes, this issue occurs with absolutely zero mods or CC.

The same thing is happening for me since the update too, also with no mods :(

Same problem for me, as well.
