    Sims with a short or long Lifespan no longer become younger or age dramatically when leaving Create a Sim.

    Fixed in Patch 1.90.375/1.62

    Now, I did a very short test and my long lifespan game was fine. No aging up after cas/travelling/reloading

    I know there have been a lot of statements and maybe some other issues mixed in here during the past week. It was crazy busy and they all did sound the same.

    So  what I mean to say: If you see issues still with aging on a vanilla game, just go ahead and make a new thread.

    Please describe your issue in details and not just something along the lines of: It's not fixed. I still have it

    Thanks all.

Could you please edit your post and add the following info to your post.

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:
Which language are you playing the game in? 
How often does the bug occur? 
What is your current game version number? 
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? 
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 
What happens when the bug occurs? 
What do you expect to see? 
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods?
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? 

The bug template is currently working on/off but it helps if you are not prompted for the template while editing, please answer the questions anyways. 

Going to use this post to post a little re-cap of what I found testing

  • This bug effects Long Life Span only. If you play on long, you get days added to your sim every time a transition happens (loading the game, going to CAS, going to World Map). this will make your Sims age eventually.
  • Normal Lifespan always works normal.
  • Short Lifespan works normal, if that's your initial setting. If you set a game that was on Long to short, they will age down instead of up
  • Disabled aging will work as long as the greyed out option doesn't say Long. If it says long, it will add the days even if disabled.

Workarounds

  • Do not play any saves that have long lifespan until EA patches this (it's bad, I'm hoping for an emergency patch for it)
  • Disable aging for the save. To do so, do not use the resume button but use the LOAD and change the settings from the map before loading your family. I'm not 100% sure that they won't take an initial day hit if you load the household but they shouldn't age further after that.
  • Change aging to Normal. instead of disable. This will of course make them age faster but it's not a bad option.
  • I don't recommend changing to short but since you like to play on long, I don't think you would want to do that :D

Thanks all that have provided info. Currently nothing more is needed. Just hit that pesky me too button if you are affected.

Product: The Sims 4
Platform: PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? after loading the game saved after patch or resuming, going into cas. Have not tried loading other households.
What is your current game version number? 1.90.358.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All packs and kits other then High school.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I found that it accurse in even when resuming a save after the patch even if I don't enter cas, it occurred after resuming the game after exiting when save as to keep the before patch game safe.
What happens when the bug occurs?  Sims are showing as ready to age, have the age up action queued even while in school..
What do you expect to see? ages to be where they are supposed to be with no early growing up.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? no, removed for patch.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? after todays patch (07/26)

I play on long lifespan. I tested it and it seems to be only effecting long lifespan as I loaded the old save before the patch from last night, changed to normal lifespan before loading the house, went into cas and saved as and resumed and ages did not change to ready to age up. Changed back to long, saved as and it went back to ready to age up some of the sims but not all as it seemed to depend who went into cas. first sim that went into cas didn't get it originally it was the two kids in school and the one that was forced home early from work that had the aging up action queued, the mother was 2 days away from her birthday but the two girls are not even the same age but both had the bubbles they were ready to age up. had the wife go to cas and then the dad and new born both changed to ready to age or about to age (baby showed next day on calendar) but the dad had his birthday two sim days before.

Also adding I turned aging off in long lifespan and it still did the bubbles after reloading/cas.
