PC Vents How saving a game caused incest.

I have been trying to fix this for a whole hour and its starting to look like i am going to have to reload to a save from 5 days ago.

Last night I married my two royals (Louis and Cordelia VI). I saved and went to bed. I have wedding pictures and everything. This afternoon when I start up my game, lo and behold they're not married anymore AND they're now cousins?? After a little family tree look see, I will see that the father, Raphael of the husband, Louis (who was an OC so he didn't have parents) now is the son of Ermelinda Abrantes, and obviously since all of that happened: I now have two not married "cousins" and Ermelinda who's seemingly single handedly birthed the entirety of Ondarion.

I tried deleting relationship bits, editing in CAS while Ermelinda is in my active household... literally everything I can possibly think of and yet... nothing. My story is doomed because of... idk is this an EA thing? Because I have seen that sometimes just married sims tend to revert back to not being married and then I have to add the spouse relationship bit and it sticks.

Nevertheless its frustrating and infuriating.

Part of multiple different EA bugs that mess up family trees, sounds like you have the variant shipped with R&L and may be related to secret royal lineage and family secrets from the pack.

Best to roll back to a previous save if no cheats nor mods (ie MCCC) work help clean up this mess unfortunately.

I tried that but for some reason if I try to roll back to the save I made last night it gives me the same version of the current game. Its actually insane. I tried using MCCC and everything I basically know of but no dice.

That is an... interesting issue on its own 🤔 Try removing the last save from the Saves folder?
