Sim De-Aged
I notice that aging is off in the game sometimes, such as my sim will marry their teen love who aged to YA before them, yet after married and they move in they're younger than my sim. Howver this is ...

Please try the following in this order without skipping any steps, even if you’ve done some of these steps already:
- Exit your game then exit Origin. Drag the Mods folder from your 'The Sims 4' folder onto your desktop (for future reference) then delete the localthumbnailcache.package file in your 'The Sims 4' folder. (When you restart the game it will automatically create a new Mods folder.)
- Next please run a game repair [ Open Origin, click 'Game Library' then right-click Sims 4 > Repair Game ]. Make sure to let it run until it has completed all repairs (it will do the base-game first, then run through each of your expansions/packs).
Do not re-add any of your Mods or CC at this time. Please then restart your game and see if the issue is present.
If this fixes the issue you can re-add your Mods/CC one at a time to see which were conflicting with the function/causing the glitch - but do not re-add the old Resource.cfg file from the old Mods folder, as it is possible for it to have become corrupted.
If you have a lot of Mods or CC you can do so by via the 50/50 method. Let me know if you need directions on this.
Thank you, I followed the steps and the issue is still present so I didn't make it to re-adding my Mods. The sim still cannot age up via cake, I tested to make sure another sim could and they can.
@lisastar08 Can you please try (with the Mods/CC still not in the game):
- Reset the sim
- If the issue remains please save the sim to the library (this may also reset them) then place the sim into another home and see if you can age them up via cake. If this works and fixes the sim you could delete the other sim (in the household you've been playing) and move this fixed sim into that household. You would have to cheat-create the relationships, career and money your sim currently has, though.
- Or... you could try to save a copy of this sim with the entire household into the library, then place them again or in a new game save. The only relationships that will be preserved in this case will be the relationships with the sims saved with them into the library.
Let me know if this helps. If it fixes the issue you can then try re-adding your Mods/CC.
Edit... @EuphorialQueen just mentioned something I thought I'd add... If your sim is pregnant aging does not work while pregnant. Is your sim pregnant?I did the sim reset and the issue persisted, so I split the sim from the household, put them in the library and moved them into another household, they still cannot age up via cake. They also still had their memories and relationships in tact.
The sim is also not pregnant.
