    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.

How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? version 1.90.358.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? everything apart from some stuff packs and kits
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Update to the most recent patch of 7/26/22. Then load the game and enter life mode. It can happen after just starting up the game, or after a loading screen from switching neighbourhoods, or the loading screen after changing a sims outfits.
What happens when the bug occurs? After a loading screen and you enter life mode, sims instantly age up even though they are not supposed to yet. I started up my game after the 7/26 patch update and the following happened in a span of about 2 minutes (would be shorter if I didn't have to choose traits and aspirations): elderly dog died, grandfather died, child aged up to teen, teens (twins) aged up to young adults. I went ahead and chose new outfits for them, fnished that and went back into life mode. As soon as the loading screen disappeared, the parents both aged up to being elderly (their birthdays should be quite some time apart from each other). I tried to restart the game, but the same happened again. I didn't even have time to disable aging in the settings, as soon as the game loads you get the first notification that a sim has aged. The child and parents were for sure nowhere near aging up, and I know for a fact (I checked yesterday) that the teens weren't supposed to age up for another 2 sim-weeks. I play with a long life cycle, really none of them were close to their birthdays (the dog and grandfather might have been as they were elderly).
What do you expect to see? Sims not instantly and frantically aging up when entering life mode, whilst they're not even supposed to be aging up.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. patch update of 7/26/2022

Please describe the patch or change you made. The update that was released on July 26th 2022, prior to the High School pack release.

I've had three sims die on the same day by old age, the first one had been an elder for a looooooooooong time (I actually thought she would never die), the other had been for a couple of weeks and the last one had been an elder for a day or two. They all died on the same day by old age. The bug apperead after the update from July 26th 2022.
For sims who weren't elders, they would just age up. I had a toddler become a child 5 days before she was supposed to and then, on the same day, after exiting CAS, she became a teenager.
I play on long lifespan and I currently have no mods installed, only a few custom content items.
