    Aging glitch is back for me.  This happened a month ago, then I was able to turn aging back on recently and it worked for a while.  Now every household shows at the end of each lifespan regardless of what lifespan and instantly ages when you enter the sim household.


    I tried with no mods, no cc as well.


    Any and all households I enter immediately or within a minute or two, everyone ages up, elders die.


    I had turned off aging when the glitch originally returned but tested it again and everything seemed fine again (same sims I play now)I can't pinpoint any changes today that would have restarted the glitch again.


    I exited one family without save, removed all mods, went back in and they immediately aged up again.
    Then I exited again without save, went back in (still aged up immediately) then went to CAS using cheats to age them down again.
    Once they were aged down in CAS, that stopped the aging up anytime you opened the sim family.


    I added in a couple mods, and the problem has not yet reappeared.
    I'll be testing this in another couple of families.

    No, the sims were not close to aging up.  I had turned aging back on to long and they all have 70-80++ days left.

    I am continuing to test and see this in every single household.  I play on long lifespan and I do NOT want to turn off aging.  This really is a pain!

    @mrstank30 Exact same thing happened to me today. Tried recovering old saves, with and without mods, repairing my game etc. Ruined my 100+ hour legacy save 🙂

    @soapgurt Any hope to get it back? I backed up my saves again just in case. Building in a clean save and I have a ton of families I've made and have been rotating play through them. One of my recent ones was nowhere NEAR aging up and boom, right when I opened it. I've been aging down in CAS and then removing the sad birthday icon with cheats. That seems to work and they stay aged down but this is just completely stupid. I wish an EA person who pop in and help.

    @mrstank30 It aged up all townies/unplayed families as well, and honestly I don't have the motivation to age around 60 households back down. Taking a break from TS4 for now. If they fix this bug (once again) maybe I'll come back as I do have backed up saves.

    @soapgurt That's bad! Mine is aging up as I load each one and then killing off elders (bigger issue so I haven't opened any households with elders now). I do spend more time fixing what I can or pulling mods/testing the numerous errors/glitches I see than I do actually playing the game. It's definitely frustrating, particularly when these items are "fixed".
