Please use this thread going forward: [HSY] Homeless, unplayed teen sims never age up | EA Forums - 11930815
@yumcaloriesAccording to a bit of digging.. auto age has been a glitch. ☹️ It's associated with High School years. Yikes. I am not even sure if it's happened to me or not at some point, I usually do not stick thru' to many generations.
According to users who had this, if you move the sim into a home and play.. they will age instantly.. also YIKES.
*****I found a workaround whilst trying to figure out the problem myself, although it's a bit of a pain.
It seems to only affect unplayed households, as i set one to played and they aged up instantly. So if you set every single unplayed homeless townie to played (should clarify i mean the heart button), they should age up.*****
Here is the reference I found.. see if that looks like the one your having.

I have not tested this personally.
This is indeed a HSY bug. Perhaps it can be merged with my thread:
