Sims' Aging Skipping Days

Update: I didn't mention this before because I didn't know whether or not it was relevant, but this problem started shortly after I got a new computer and had the contents of the hard drive on my old computer transferred to the hard drive on the new computer. I hadn't played Sims much since I started having the issue because having my Sims age up more quickly than I wanted was annoying. Recently, I began to wonder if maybe the game being transferred from one hard drive to another triggered some kind of anti-piracy measure that caused my Sims to age up too quickly, and maybe the reason no one wants to help me is because anyone who read my original post thinks I'm a low-down thieving pirate. I backed up my saves, uninstalled The Sims 4, and reinstalled it from Origin because I thought that doing so might prove that the game was legit and remove any anti-piracy flags that may have been triggered in the game's code. Then I deleted the save that had the age-bar-day-skipping problem before and started over with a fresh new save, just in case that old save still had some kind of anti-piracy flag attached to it.
With the new save, I've been playing as a Young Adult Sim on Long lifespan. When I started the save, my Sim had 88 days left on his age bar. It's been 5 in-game days since then, and my Sim now has 80 days left on his age bar. So, there's still something wrong.
You are not alone, I had/have this issue since the patch who fixed the maid time bug and for me it strikes only if my sims are on another lot as the homelot. (My sim was a doctor and lost there per default 3-5 days) After that I disabled aging.
Short testing in park with two random sims(12 simhours with napping). I have this bug still and my two sims lost 3 days -> Long livespan, season 28 days, all packs.
I don’t think any think you are a pirate this bug is simple hard to detect, and I think must user play normal or with aging off (modded custom aging) I would recommend playing on normal, with aging off or a combo from both as workaround.
This sounds like it could be related with the birthday being switched in the calendar...
No, this are not the same problems.
Explanation: I create a Sim names John. John has 90 Days bevor he age up. I play John 1 day. John should now have 89 days left. If the Bug appears John lost 5 days within 1 day and now have 85 days left.
+ Its only for long lifespan, in this the player play normal lifespan who this bug never appears. The sim there don’t lost multiply days within 1 day.
@daikoyuThanks. Personally, I haven't had any Sim lose more than 2 days at once so far, and for me this bug has mainly struck when Sims were on their home lots.
It's kind of unfortunate for me, because I do like playing on Long lifespan with 28-day seasons, especially when I'm playing the game in order to write a SimLit story. Maybe I'll switch to alternating between playing on Normal lifespan for one Sim week and aging off for the next Sim week as a workaround, at least until this bug is fixed, but I still find it irritating to have to jump through hoops in order to avoid an annoying bug.
