"Cannot edit pre-existing sims" with cas.fulleditmode on.

My normal method of story progression is to use CAS to produce offspring, pair them up once they've become YAs, and use CAS to set them as married. This is only working some of the time now.
* When I try to set (unrelated) sims as spouses in CAS (with cas.fulleditmode on) for some of them the relationship pulldowns are grayed out. The mouse-over gives me "cannot edit pre-existing sims" like fulleditmode isn't on or they're related. So I can't marry up the new generation of parents.
* I had some trouble creating offspring after the 04Dec patch. Instead of being able to use both parents, the second parent was not available. (This is also happening now.) I generally made kids by spawning siblings off the existing children or only using one parent.
* I haven't seen the inability to edit relationships affect the sims who already existed prior the the patch, only those spawned after the patch. (3/4 of this generation's children were post-patch.)
* I've switched the viewpoint to these sims and they have positive relationships (friendly, not romantic).
* I've tried the edit relationship cheat in one case. It only worked going one way. So the male has a wife, but the female he's married to isn't married. (These are also unable to spawn children together.) Repeated attempts to set the relationship going the other way (listing her first in the cheat, then him) failed.
* From a 3rd party relationship panel, both sims are showing as each other's spouse.
* Tried moving them out and back in in Manage Neighborhood. Tried repairing the game.
* I really don't want to have to go to all 20 couples remaining and play each household long enough to marry them off. I shutter to think what my heirloom family would get up to in the interim.
Suggestions welcome. I'm on the sixth generation in this neighborhood and don't really want to start over.

I'm a rotational player. The game culled some of my sims a while ago I think. Now, when I went to their household I decided to fix the broken family tree by placing the culled deceased people again into this family and repair the relationships using cas.fulleditmode.
I HATE that the game culled my deceased people from the family tree. The father and grandmother simply disappeared.
This method worked with the Landgraabs previously. The game had culled them as well but I added them to the household again and repaired the relationships using cas.fulleditmode.
AND NOW IT'S NOT WORKING. It says "cannot edit pre-existing sims".
This is plum plum. The game shouldn't be culling them if it doesn't even let me repair it later. Total plumming plum.
There is a mod that can help you with the culling issue.

I have this mod installed and I have tried using it to restore the relationships but it doesn't work either.
Hello.
The mod will help to prevent the culling happening from now on.
I am sorry that you are having issues restoring relationships.
Perhaps try using the last cheat in the relationships section of the cheats article and see if that helps.

Hello @antifairy0
Try using the last cheat in this relationships cheat link to make the sims mother/father and daughter.
http://simsvip.com/sims-4-cheats-codes/#Relationships
You will need to do the cheat twice. Once for one sim to make them the parent , then again with the child to make the other sim their daughter.
You can also use the MC Command Center mod to change their relationships

There is also a cheat called " clear marriages"
Type in testingcheats true. Shift click the sim and there is an option to " clear marriages" You could do that, then have the sims marry again/have them husband/wife.
Then make the sims mother /father and daughter.
Save the game before doing these things in case issues arise,

Thank you, I was messing with that relationship cheat before posting, but I didn't go this in depth with it. Maybe I will try this later, but for now there will be a mysterious parent that my sim never met. Perhaps I should keep it like that.
You're welcome
