Spellcaster Bloodlines - does it not work with CAS made sims?

I created 2 spellcaster sims in CAS, then used genetics to give them a daughter. Logged them all in and the daughter had no bloodline trait.
So I went to the 'Magic HQ' with the whole pack of them and had them all learn a spell. Went back into CAS and used genetics to give the first two a son - he also had no bloodline.
So I used a cheat to give the parents the weak bloodline. Went back into CAS again and made a second daughter. She didn't get any bloodline trait even though both parents had the weak bloodline.
I had expected all 3 children to get something. What am I missing in this process?
Child 1: made in CAS before any logins
Child 2: made in CAS after parents had logged in and leared a spell
Child 3: made in CAS after parents given a bloodline trait in game, saved, and then jumped to CAS
- Do you only get bloodline traits if the child is 'born in game' and not made through genetics?

Well that's a little annoying but I guess I can use cheats to do what I was aiming for. I wanted to make a sort of Harry Potter sim - an ancient bloodline sim with no living caster relatives, but some actual 'in the lineage' ghost sims that I'd move over to 'homeless' once done setting up the scenario. Figured I could do it all in CAS itself.
But I'll have to stack the bloodline trait part with a cheat.
If their kids are born-in-game, they should get a bloodline trait. The kids that you make for them in CAS won't.
Oh cool then
My sister poached Darrell for one of her caster kids - I think descended from L. Faba and a Sim of mine from the Gallery - who had the Weak Bloodline, and the Charm genetics are so strong, their offspring got an Ancient Bloodline.
My first Strong Bloodline caster is still a Child, though I am prepping a love-interest for his Teen years.
One can prep Bloodline for a save, in advance, by speed-playing through a few generations for the level you want, but it is a feature of actual in-game births, not of CAS or creating offspring/parents in CAS.
Best of luck!
That trait let me rank up the caster levels and learned every spell and potion in just a few short hours. It was too powerful. I could see it being useful for a sim many generations down the line when doing all that stuff is no longer interesting. But for a sim you want to actively play it kinda kills the fun.
