Drinking potion didn’t work

I bought the potion of youth, drank it and nothing happened. He’s still an elder. I’ve never used the potions before so I’m not sure wth happened. I just wanted my guy to age down. Is this happening ...

    Unfortunately it likely worked just fine.

    If your sim is an Elder, drinking that potion won't make them a Young Adult or Adult. It only brings them back to the beginning of their age group.

    What I mean is this: If you have an Adult with 23 out of 24 days in that age group, they will age up in one day. If you then drink a Potion of Youth, they will STILL be an Adult, but will now have 0 out of 24 days in that group. Meaning they won't age up for another 24 days.

    I don't think there's a way to go "back" in life stages without using a cheat.

    You can always drink the potion, then use a cheat to roll back to Young Adult and "pretend" it worked...

No, doesn't work. I used potion on an adult,  meaning his age should have gone back to day 0 of adulthood. Yet he aged up 48 in game hours later, meaning he worked 2 shifts and became elder.
