Family Tree Problems

Jordyn78988

Is anyone else having family tree issues? My family tree looks fine when I view it from certain sims' perspectives, but from others, it has problems. Blank portraits are showing (like if a sim was culled) where they don't make any sense. It's hard to explain. Anyone else getting this issue?

Hello
If you have cc/mods in your game, move your whole mods folder to the desktop. Then start the game and see if the issues are still there If it has helped with the issues, put your mods/ CC back into the newly generated mods folder that is in the sims 4 folder one by one or in batches and testing after each one to see which is the causes of the problem.

Repairing the game may help. To do that, go to games library in Origin, right click on the sims 4 picture and click repair

Try deleting the cache files and see if that helps

Thanks, @rosemow I'll try deleting my cache files, as I don't have any mods/cc and I have already tried repairing my game.

You’re welcome There has been another simmer who also has posted about family tree issues since the patch. If you continue to have the issue, you may like to start a new thread on the AHQ EA site and post about the issue there.

My family tree is completely borked since the patch also. I run MCCC, which I know is not the cause. Before the patch the tree was perfect. If I look at it from the youngest generation's perspective, its right. But if I go any higher, then it shows all the kids, related or not, as belonging to that sim. For instance, I have 5 generations in the family I'm playing now. The 5th generation child's tree from his perspective is perfect. His mother's level shows her children, as well as all the children that are related to her children {their father's children with another woman/women}, of which have NO relation to my family tree aside from that. Go up another generation and it gets worse with every person ever related to any child in the fourth generation. That sim had 4 children. It's showing 25. If I click on them, their trees are correct from their perspective. Up another level and the tree can't even figure out how to load, because there are so many sims supposedly the children of the founder, some 50+ and they aren't even descendants, which is just ridiculous.

Hello
It would be best to start a new thread on the AHQ EA site and post your feedback about this issue there

My family trees are also broken. Connections between family members are totally crazy. For example, Siobhan Fyres parents in family tree are showing as parents of her husband. Her sister, Morgan Fyres, are showing as child from other mother. Another example: in other family, my sim had two fathers instead of father and mother. But when i choose his father, family tree show me correctly father and mother... In every family tree i have odd things like this. It's so sad, i have enough glitch in this game...

Hi there.
Thanks for all the input so far rosemow.
Thought I'd throw in that I don't use any mods or CC and I'm experiencing problems too. It seems if I click on a grandparent then it seems to add the people their sons have conceived with as the grandparent's son. They appear as blank faces in the tree and then the grandsons are listed as coming from them not the sons themselves.

I think my problem is similar to levkoni in that one sims parents are also showing as the parents of their husbands/child's second father/partner (gay couples to be clear) albeit their faces are blank (as if culled) in the famiky tree.
I'll try and report this in the EA thread too.

Hello @hadklax

Mine are broken too And they're one of my favourite things in the game as a legacy player! I've posted on the AHQ thread. I really hope they can fix this as reverting back doesn't work!
I do have a 2 week old copy of my files so maybe that could work if they can only prevent this from happening in future updates, but for now I can't play the game since I don't know if I'll lose progress!

Hello
SimGuruIcarus has posted that they are investigating the issue.

Levkoni

Hello
I am sorry that you also have this issue in your game You may like to press “ me too” on the AHQ EA thread.

Ahaha I just noticed this and was about to start a thread. I thought my problem was the age of my save and that the save was corrupted. Or that the problem was my script mods.
I was clicking through the portraits on the tree and laughing hysterically at the fact that one sim's in-laws were showing as his parents when I viewed the tree from his grandson's perspective

Yes I have this going on too. Different Sims gives a different perspective of the family tree and there are blank portraits. If I click on the grandmother, her granddaughter is under a blank portrait and not the grandmother's daughter (who is alive and well). But if I click on the baby (granddaughter) then from that perspective it shows correctly.
It's all just very odd.

This is the issue I'm having with my family tree, only with a particular sims, anytime I click the tree button with any of the related sims I get a continuous loading in the family tree window with nothing in it.

If I click somebody unrelated or not connected to the tree in anyway then it loads straight away without issue.

I've tried removing the CC folder but it doesn't fix the issue.

Any help would be appreciated.
