Please use this thread going forward: [CoL] All animals aging up/dying (aging turned off) | EA Forums - 11853294
Ever since all this stuff with the new release (Life and Death) pack started showing up, all my farm animals (cows, llamas, chickens, sheep, goats, rabbits, foxes) are instantaneously aging up to "one...last...pet" and the reaper comes for them taking all of them at the same time (even if the chickens are still little chicks newly hatched). This happens in every household with these animals. Aging is turned off for all animals and sims in my game. Never had this problem until the last week or two. It is really starting to * me off to the point I don't even want to play any more. Don't have mods either. Can this problem get fixed, please? I've seen that other people are having this problem. I don't know what caused this to happen other than that it is a recent problem for me.
I not only have aging for animals turned off, but I also have death DISABLED in my game. After the Oct 22 patch, my sim was visiting his grandparents and grim was there after my mini goat. I exited the game without saving. This was the first time I have seen grim in my game since I disabled death. Something is wrong and I hope they fix it, because I simply don't want anyone in my game to die.
I have death and animal aging turned off too and out of nowhere it said my goat had died and I saw the reaper coming into my lot, I didn't know what to do so I just watched and sure enough, he immediately went to my chickens, llama and other goat one by one until he reaped them all. This is a horrible bug. Luckily I had literally just started the game so I reloaded the save and just left the lot. Almost all of my households have animals though so this sucks.
Cottage living pack can't catch a break with all of the new bugs on top of old, unfixed ones.
I guess I'll stop playing and wait another 1+ years before they fix this bug. I was excited for the new packs.
Same here.
I started with a couple in Sulani (I also have the Sulani fishing bug) and over the course of the game I added the following: 1 dog, 2 horses, 1 dwarf sheep, 1 cow, 4 chickens and 3 children. My 3 children were teenagers in the meantime and now I have made my eldest a young adult so that I can send him to university. After 10 attempts (because of the bug), I finally got him into my penultimate semester and now I want to send my middle child to university too.
Whenever I switch from the game state/household of my eldest, which is on the collage, to the main household of my family, it happens at the latest when I finish Sims 4 and open it again that my chickens suddenly say “one ... last ... time ... petting ...” or “senior” instead of “fully grown”. But before I finished Sims 4 they were still “fully grown”.
I am already desperate what I would do wrong... ☹️ I will now also wait for the bug fix before I continue playing here.
