    @KatastrophicSim 

    You just need to change the setting to only active household aging  (see pictures)

    Basically what you did when you switched to him, then you made the household played and played Sims age in your game so after a while, he aged up

    OR

    after changing to a family make sure you mark them as unplayed again in the household manager by clicking on the plumbob picture (see second pic)

@KatastrophicSim At what point did you go to the lot to edit him ? On the day of the birthday event or before that ?

Could you maybe add a picture of your aging settings ?

Noooo, it was way way way WAY after the birthday when I went to edit the lot. It was noone's birthday while I was there. I did not go to the event.

If the event happened, it did it off screen, way way WAY after it said it would happen.

    @KatastrophicSim I think the problem is that the family became played. You have aging on for all played SIms. That means all your Sims that you have played, age.

    You can either set that to active family only (then inactives never age, no matter if you play them at some point) or make sure to remove the played flag from the family.

    Sorry, I misunderstood the issue at first.

      @crinrict So I can't control their aging????? The games just terrible? It's not a bug?

      Cause when I played him he didn't age, when I left he was still a child.
