The reason SWAFs are a problem is that they are not easy - or sometimes impossible - to identify and can't therefore be corrected. Things like memory ties and relationship ties are easily reattached to appropriate targets (if you know what you're doing with SimPE anyway) and are, therefore, not really such a problem. Links that get mixed up but are fixable are generally much less of a problem and I think this is the type of thing being discussed here. These dangling SWAFs, as we used to call them, can then get attached to new sims when they are created and can cause real problems which is why it is verboten to delete sims and tombstones. The kind of neighbourhood destroying corruption you need to worry about are links in sim data that lose their attachment to things, like sim wants and fears being left behind when sims are deleted, and that can't be reassigned easily. I think we get a bit too hyper about neighbourhood corruption on here at times. You're overstating the seriousness of the problem. No, that's not what Moo said, she said she didn't know and that it *might* corrupt the family tree. Would there still be game issues if my sims were just married, and didn't have children normally?įrom what Mootilda said above, this HAS been proven to cause corruption. With InTeen, you can make a pregnancy between two sims without woohoo or anything like that. I have InTeen, and I wanted my two sibling sims to have children for a story. If you do this, the family tree corruption can still occur.Īlso, if you do start having odd problems with your neighborhood, be sure to mention that your related sims had children and that you understand that this may have corrupted your neighborhood.

Note that you can always cheat your sim pregnant if you want.

The mod that I linked is the only incest mod that I know of. I don't know of any incest mod which will allow your sims to have children. You might want to make a backup before your sims have children, and keep it in a safe place, just in case you have problems in the future. I don't know how serious of a problem this is, but some kinds of corruption can completely destroy your ability to play your neighborhood.
