Oh, I was wondering if something like this would turn up eventually!
The issue is this: In Belladonna Cove, Chastity Gere only has one grandparent (grandfather I believe) on her father's side. (Keep in mind that I deleted all the dead grandparents to save space, though.) The other one appears to have been deleted by EAxis, but the family tree still thinks it's there. I could not fix this in SimPE because it crashed whenever I tried to open the family tree editor - which isn't so strange, seeing as it was trying to open a sim instance that doesn't exist. It didn't seem to have any adverse effects, aside from Chastity's family tree looking a bit funny (dots on her father's side indicating that he has more familiy, which leads to nowhere).
Obviously, your Aspir baby has gotten the same instance number or NID as the missing grandparent! There's nothing I can do to fix this in the BDC or uberhood templates, unfortunately, but you should be able to fix it yourself in SimPE's family tree editor now. Also, I'd very much like to know what instance number and NID he's got!

Well, since I have SimPE firing up right now--I got Jessica and Vi fixed last night, but evidently forgot to save on the Rubens (did you know the sim goes completely black after using the Theo-tool on them until you've entered their house and saved and exited again?)--so I'm doing the Rubens this morning anyway. Jessica worked beautifully: her twins are exactly what they ought to be. Now if I can find those numbers . . . Okay, his instance is 0x000001QA (266) . But in another place his instance is 0x010A. I'm not all that good with SimPE. His file name is E001_User00736 . His Sim ID is 0xF9CCF497 . His family instance is 0x003A . His GUID is 0xF9CCF497 . And I hope some of that was what you wanted. I don't see anything called NID, and like I said, I'm not that good with SimPE. If you can tell me where exactly to look I can give you more information. (You'll probably have to start with click here to open this plugin--it took me half an hour to figure out how to get the sim plugin view back.) I can tell you that he's no where near the first baby born in game. Probably closer to twentieth. I'm not sure about my play order exactly, anymore. I think little Luis is the third of the Aspir triplets. I can't fix he and Chastity's relationships in SimPE, as far as SimPE can tell me they aren't related. Clearly I'm clueless. Ah, well, it hasn't broken the game yet, and I'll probably restart anyway whenever you get the new version done. I can't remember if I told you that Jill Smith wanted to be friends with herself back when I first loaded up her household, and some of the kids in Desiderata have LTWs. Not the new babies, but the Bell kid and I think Pauline Aspir as well. I can double-check if that's any use. I just figured on rerolling those guys when they hit teen, anyway. I've been aging townies down to be adopted, so I have a bunch of kids to do that to. Sunbee

Hello again.
Thank you for your information! That should be plenty. Don't worry about the NID (neighbourhood ID) thing, it might not be called that, I mix up the terms a bit sometimes and it's been a few months since I did anything indepth in SimPE.
Doesn't surprise me that he's not the first baby, that's why I wanted to know the instance actually, because I've been keeping an eye on Chastity's family tree in case the instance ID of the missing grandparent showed up, but hadn't had any luck yet.
To fix in SimPE you need to not look at the relationship panel, but select the thing in the left-hand menu called 'Family Ties'. Then find Chastity's father in the "Default" family. The baby should show up in his tree. Just remove him, commit and save. I can provide a screenshot later if you can't find it.
I don't think you told me about Jill Smith... Hrm, that's not good. Had you played the neighbourhood much before you got to their house? It's possible something happened along the way. I haven't seen any wants like that myself, but I'll keep an eye out. Does she have a memory of meeting herself?
I did know about the LTWs of Daniel Bell and Pauline Aspir. This is another EAxis fail, and I couldn't figure out how to get rid of them in SimPE, only change them, so I left them as is. They do no harm, and you can change them when they become teens, like you said.

Thanks, I got him taken care of. He was listed as 'parent B'. If I count correctly, I have thirty-eight born-in-game sims at the moment, and it looks like the Aspir tot in question might be around number 25, which is probably why the issue hasn't shown up for other folks. I guess I like sim babies, and I definitely like the triplets-and-quads hack! Going through my 5,000-odd photos, it looks like while I'd played Veronaville and some of Pleasantview, Jill had never followed anyone home on the school bus (unlike Violet Joque, who followed EVERYBODY). I usually get a picture of who comes over. Jill might have shown up on a community lot, however. She doesn't have a memory of meeting herself as far as I remember, but I do wipe corrupt and trash memories with the batbox so I may have lost it if she did. Looking at the dates on the pictures, I started the hood in mid-September (after frying my old hard drive) and got to the Smith household October 8th and 9th, which was the fourth house played in Strangetown.
