I wanted to create a few of my Sim's relatives, so I went into CAS and clicked "play with genetics". I decided to create his mother first, so I did that, and everything was fine until I checked to make sure the game remembered that they were related, and the only options available for him were "roommate" and "brother". What? I definitely clicked "parent" in the genetics menu and not "sibling". I even tried creating a new Sim from scratch and setting the relationship myself, but the same thing happened. Has anyone else seen this?
(By the way, this is the same save file with the relationship glitch. Why, game? Why?
)

eta: looks like this person had something similar, and used MCCC to fix it up afterwards? I'm skim-reading, so may be missing fine points.
If neither of those help, I only made it through a few pages of the bug-report search results. If you like, you can fine-tune your own search there--I have to go!
I've never had MCCC break anything. I pull the Mod folder out of the TS4 folder (move it up one level to the EA folder) before I get the latest patch, & of course I wait until the mod's updated or verified as compatible (I get that info 1st from SimsVIP & then from the MCCC website). Once I've verified or updated, I move the (updated) mods back into the TS4-level folder.
It's less work than updating NRAAS, as there are fewer modules.
Hope this info is helpful!
Unfortunately, it looks like it's not just that Sim or that save file. I just tried to edit one of my other households and apparently, the mum wasn't related to any of her kids either. (Somehow, she's still related to her granddaughter, though. 😕) I created this household weeks ago, and this is the first time I've noticed a problem.
In my case, the glitch only seems to affect female Sims who were created from the genetics of relatives who were created in a different household. I hope EA fixes this in the next patch.
Wishing you luck, & the notice of someone who is experienced with troubleshooting!
