Familytree issues with horses
« on: January 04, 2012, 02:27:24 PM »
Has any of you more experienced horse breeders had problems like this:

I had a mare and stallion, who had two foals. By the time the younger foal grew up, I sold both the father horse and the other foal - so now I have the mare and her offspring. I also purchased another mare from equastrian centre to later breed with the current "second generation" I have.

It's been some time (maybe 2 sim weeks) since this, and now I decided to try for another foal. But both the original Mare and her offspring have lost their familytree. If I click it, it doesn't open anhything at all. The horse I bought still has her familytree, and it works (naturally has only her own picture as there is no offspring yet).

I also noticed that both my mare and offspring are friends with themselves. They have their own picture as a BFF. Also, they have conflicting relationships with the bought horse. If I check my stallion's relationships, it says he is a mere acquintance with the mare I bought for him. But the "new" mare's relationship panel shows the two as BFF.

Did everything get messed up because I sold the "father horse" who was on the familytree, but maybe was kind of deleted from the game when sold out?
The game is otherwise working, no glitches, and I have not used any cheats except Moveobjects on to move the horses in and out their area sometimes. Can moveobjects on cause glitching like this?

I had the same problem.  I had a mare and she had three foals.  I sold the first one and I couldn't open her or the second foals family tree nor the thrid. I could on my other horses.  Wish I knew why?  I hadn't even used a cheat at all during the game.  I think it might be a glitch.

(I'll reply to this thread, as it's already on first page)

I'm sort of "pleased" to know glitch like this is happening to other people as well, maybe someone will figure out a fix for it some day as it's not just my game. It's an annoying thing to happen, I'm sure many many others are doing some sort of breeding with their pets, so loosing the family tree & relations is really a bummer.

In my game, I tried to cure it by moving the family out of the house and back in (in Edit Town). That's when everything got really messed out.


All pet's moved to the same row with human sims and got that strange woman's face as their icon. Meanwhile, everyone (both pets and humans) had a horse's picture above the LTW (the LTW was gone from everyone, but the moodlets still worked). I could no longer control anyone in the household, but they walked around and did things as usual.

This file was glitched in so many ways but it still wasn't ".bad". The next game I started got glitched after I moved a dog in, and it wasn't ".bad" either. I have been checking the file names to make sure nothing gets corrupted, but I guess it doesn't work (anymore?).
I gave up on that file and having pets. That's a pity though...
