Please describe the patch or change you made. I don't know which one because I haven't played for quite a long time

Hello there! I hope I'm doing this right. I'm excited to be playing The Sims 4 again after buying more packs and a long break (I haven't played since Horse Ranch was released), but I've run into a problem that's been confusing me. I'd appreciate any help you can offer!

Basically, I spent a lot of time updating my Mods Folder yesterday, but when I opened my main save file and played it, I noticed that Prom wasn't showing up on my calendar. I've attended Prom before in this save file, so I'm not sure why it's not showing up now. What's even more odd is that I'm still receiving pre-prom invites to hang out. Then I try to make a new savefile to test, and guess what? The same problem happened.

I did some research online and found that other players have experienced similar issues in the past, but most of those reports were from back in 2022 when HSY was newly released, and it was mainly MCC 's fault. But I didn't have any problems with Prom then, so I'm really confused as to why it's happening now. I've tried turning off aging, and that seemed to make Prom show up again, but I'm not sure why that worked.

I would like to make it clear that before anyone points fingers and blames me for the issue, let me state that I have already taken all necessary steps such as removing the Mods Folder, deleting the localthumbcache, repairing the game, and making a new Sims 4 folder to determine if mods or any other factor causes the problem. However, the problem persists, and I am certain that it is not due to any of these reasons. 

If anyone has any suggestions or explanations for what might be going on, I would really appreciate it. Thank you so much and Please don't take this problem lightly.
