Re: sims won't age even with aging turned on

@EMPShielded  Is this all your sims or just one?  For an affected sim, try changing one thing about their everyday outfit.  Then quit, delete the cache files, reload, and try to age them up.  You can use NRaas MasterController's Trigger Age Transition command on the sim, under Intermediate.  For reference, these are the cache files:

  • CASPartCache.package
  • compositorCache.package
  • scriptCache.package
  • simCompositorCache.package
  • socialCache.package

If that doesn't help, try changing every part of all their outfits, including hair and accessories.  If you use custom content, make sure you're only choosing EA-made items.  Then reset the sim with MasterController (NRaas > MC > Advanced > Reset Sim), not just the in-game resetsim cheat, and try again to age the sim.

If that doesn't help either, please let me know whether this is true for all your sims or just one, and whether it's true for inactive sims as well.  I'd also like to know whether the sims' ages increment each day or stay stable and whether StoryProgression is among the NRaas mods you use.

    I fixed it last night - I had to download the family and move them into a new save, new town and everything.

    @EMPShielded  That's unfortunate.  For future reference, the reason I asked which NRaas mods you use is that StoryProgression has its own aging manager that overrides the EA version.  SP should fix issues related to sims not aging as long as progression is enabled.  If SP wasn't fixing the problem, that would be a different matter, but probably still addressable with some kind of intervention.

    The EA aging manager started to break more often with the Generations EP.  That's not to say that it never broke before, only that Generations introduced more problems.
