Aging up
I have been trying to use the "set to birthday" cheat to age up my child to a teenager. However when I select "grow up" the age of the child sets back from one day to teenager to six days to teenage...

The Sim may be corrupted or broken for some reason. Is anything missing, like their aspiration or personality points? It's also possible that the cheat simply isn't working. I've never tried to use it. The regular in game cakes only work if they are one day from aging up or it is the day they are supposed to age up, is it within that window?
If nothing else is wrong that you can identify, if you are open to mods, I suggest you get the Simlogical Heirloom cake, which allows you to age Sims at any time (and kill elders). Try that and see what it does. I've been using it for years and wouldn't play without it.
I use the cake within one day. I'm starting to think the family is corrupted, everything works fine with other families.
Did you check to see if anyone is missing an aspiration or has an incorrect aspiration? You can also try spawning the tombstone of life and death which has an aging option.
When I use the tombstone, the Sim will go to one day to age up. Then when I select "grow up", or use the cake, or use the mailbox cheat, the age reverts to six days to age up. I tried a new tombstone, that didn't work either.
I'm just going to delete the family and start over. Nothing seems to work for this particular family.
I'm sorry. That's a bummer. I hate losing Sims to corruption,
