So my heartbreaker (Marc) is in china setting up 2 girls. This first is the Relic Merchant who is always on duty so will never commit to anything, but she can be invited back to the hometown later with no problems. Marc can get the other to commit and later breakup fine. The problem arises if they "Try for a baby" Marc already has 2 Egyptian & 1 French ex's with a total of 5 kids by them. Already you can tell something is a miss in the game engine because the town view icons disappear only for Marc and he has to zoom in to select the academy etc to visit them, but the real bug appears after he returns. Everything looks okay with his out of town families until exactly 12:08 the day after he gets back (i.e 12:08 AM Thursday). At that time all the family icons flash as though some update routine has just run and all but Marc's most recent foreign ex and her twins disappear from the game. I can still see them on Marc's genealogy, but when you click on the kids, the screen is blank with no kid or mother or even a link back to Marc. Furthermore Marc gets no credit for them in his lifetime wish and he is back to 2 ex's (the last girl in China and the 1 local girl and her son are fine). Unfortunately I stupidly gave him the fertility treatment so I can't determine whether the limit is 5 or 6, but the bug is completely reproducible or not from the save.
I searched the forums, but couldn't find any discussion. Has anyone else seen this behavior or know a way around it?
