Why can't I add Sim to family?

I have my Sim family and then started killing sims off. Now I'm down to the last two and only just saw now that the game has them as not brothers, but friends. I had to import one into CAS because you can't just create an identical twin for some reason, but there's no way to make them brothers. It just says can't edit pre-existing sim even with cas.fulleditmode on. They're not pre-existing, I made them.

    Try typing in testingcheats on first and then cas.fulleditmode. See if that helps

    I had that on. It said can't edit pre-existing sims. I used to have add to family show up in the shift + left click menu, but it's gone now. Urns and gravestones have missing menu options as well.

    I have gotten this too a few times. A bit annoying. I solved it by first saving them one by one to my library (making sure they had no family relations with the CAS cheat) and then added them to CAS again one by one in a new save. I was then able to edit the household like I intended too.

    Hope you get/ got it sorted somehow :blush:

    I evicted the current active house and moved in a copy (with the fixed relationships) from the gallery. It kept all the skills, but not the relationships with NPC Sims

    Hello.
    It is good that you were able to move in to your game a gallery copy of the household with the fixed relationships.
