[ARCHIVED] [HR] [CD] [CoL] All animals aging up/dying (aging turned off)

After the latest patch with the holiday rewards, I logged into my game for the second time since the patch came out (and had to start over on the holiday quests). ALL my chickens, sheep, cows (everything except the cat, dog, and horses) were suddenly elder status and the reaper is coming for them all, despite aging having been turned off. All the forums say this is supposed to be fixed, but it's clearly NOT. This is the first time I have had this issue, and I am not particularly happy.
