[CURRENT ISSUE] Aging does not fully revert when quitting without saving

It looks like more code has been broken again:

If you have any Sim transition into a new life stage, but then quit without saving, they will revert back to the original life stage they transitioned from, but unlike the Ultimate Collection where this issue does not occur, their 3D data, and appearance are not reverted back to their original appearances, despite not saving the game.

here’s an example; A child sim transitions into a teenager, I went back to the neighbourhood without saving. They returned to being a child, but their 3D data and appearance did not get reverted back, so now they have an appearance of being a teenager, but their height and the UI indicates they are a child. This needs fixing as this will break saves! This did not happen in older versions of The Sims 2.

The Sim as a child and their original appearance and 3D data.The Sim as a teenager and their updated appearance and 3D data.The Sim as a child once again (quit without saving or neighbourhood without saving) but their 3D data and appearance are still that of a teenager when it should be the first image posted as above.

  • I will be marking this a solution for visibility purposes.

    EA is currently investigating this issue and has been able to reproduce it. For now, if your Sims age up, please save the game to avoid this bug.

    Keep in mind that this may also happen with any other physical changes to Sims, such as quitting without saving after becoming an occult; I don't have much info on this but will try to reproduce it myself and post an update. 

    For anyone else experiencing this issue in the game, please feel free to post your findings in this thread.

    I had the same issue because my toddler/child got stuck on their mother after the birthday cake animation and I didn't save. But it resolved itself after I brought the toddler to a birthday cake again. Looked completely normal again after that.

    Bumping this as I’d like some more people to comment if they’ve had this issue.

    Still no fix for this yet as of the recent patch. :(
