Sim went back in time

i have no idea what happened, i followed a cheat to edit my sims work uniform and when i clicked save is took me back in time to when i started playing today and i'm very frustrated. i made a lot of progress on my sim today. it didn't effect her house or anything just her personal progress ie. her skills, relationships, promotions, and aspiration.

  • This just happened to me too on Xbox One. Aged up an infant, went to change her outfit, and when I left CAS, it was back to the day before. Not sure if it's a coincidence or not, but it took me back to the exact point in time the game last loaded my house- the moment my sim came back from another lot. The infant lost all the skills she'd gained in that time, another sim's job went back to what it was before... literally as if the last 24 hours  or so didn't happen.

  • I did save after the glitch happened but not between returning to the lot and entering CAS.

    So the series of events was: Returned to lot, did a bunch of stuff, aged infant up to toddler, went into CAS. When CAS loaded, I noticed sim had reverted to infant. Closed CAS to find time had rewound. Saved game on a secondary save slot, reloaded secondary slot to see if that would fix the issue- it didn't. So I just replayed the whole day again, saved on the second save slot again and exited.

    It might be worth noting that I entered CAS through the Simology tab so if I remember correctly, I think CAS loaded before the "age up" action was fully completed- meaning sim had changed to toddler but the full age up animation hadn't fully played yet, if that makes sense. I'm not sure if that caused it but that's the only thing I can think of that I may have done differently.

    @Kaylaeternal Sounds like something went wrong there and the game just reverted to the last safe spot it knew.

    I would recommend to always save before any bigger events like aging, moving, getting married, etc.
