@crinrict I just tested a few things and found a bizarre solution. All family dynamics work for me, but just for this one specific family the difficult family dynamic did not work. I could save them in a new tray file or place them in a new save, no difference. However, they only bugged out while being a mermaid and werwolf respectively. In their original tray file, as normal sims, the difficult dynamic worked. Apparently something went wrong when they were transformed or while saving them as new tray file. So, I cloned both of them to create them as fresh sims but not lose any CAS process. That worked like a charm. Seems like this specific version of this specific household bugged out for some reason.

@WingedSnek I tested this and for me, CAS is correct for one of the sisters and not for the other but the profile is correct for both, so possibly just a CAS display issue ?

Do you only have issues with difficult and siblings ? What does the Profile say ? Does it reset by going back to CAS with mirror or was it never set properly ?

[WingedSnek]

@crinrict It is only correct during creation in CAS for both siblings. In live mode it is not shown in the profile, read, never set properly. That is why I checked the selection via the mirror, which confirmed it having reset. So far only difficult and sibling did not work for me. Otherwise I only tested spouses and distant, parent-child and supportive (?) and parent-child and distant. These worked for me.

@WingedSnek For me the siblings worked as well.

Did you try other dynamics ?
