I've seen this mentioned before in the main forum but I couldn't find it by searching.

I've just started a new generation and was mildly surprised when no proposal was received after a few minutes. When I looked at her details screen Kristania shows as having six kids. The family screen doesn't show her as having inherited at all; she only appears as the youngest child.

This is my oldest family that's been going since the game was first released, but I assume the only thing I can do is to restart them?

EDIT: I forgot to say I tried renaming the backup, but that shows her the same, so was presumably made after the problem happened.

Are you on the 30th generation or past that, Arnie?

Yes, it's exactly the 30th. Does that mean my other games will go the same way when they reach the 30th, then?

Yes, it does appear that any long running game will experience this bug when reaching the 30th generation. We suggest pausing the game, backup your savegame files (Windows and Mac), so that your families will remain intact. We are looking into this situation.

Thanks, Heather. I've backed it up and restarted the game.

The same thing has now happened with another of my families. This time the adoptee shows as having five kids, not six.

One silver lining is that I get to start the games again from the beginning. I'd forgotten how much fun it was in the early game; lately the games were becoming a little boring.

that is true arnie

But they are still fun I am on my 18 generation

Any news on fixing this bug? I now have 2 of my 3 families "stopped" at 30 generations. It just seems sad to say goodbye to them.

Yes, I've now had to restart three of my five families. The father of a fourth died earlier today and I'm a little afraid that, if I find that his wife died while I've been away at work, that game might also need restarting. I haven't counted up, but they must be close to the 30th generation by now.

Ugh! I hope this doesn't happen to me! I'm only on the like 9th generation though...
