Sims don't age at all.

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.72.28.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? During the play with default settings, days till age up don't change despite playing for multiple days.
What happens when the bug occurs? I play with my sim - Baby Ariel. She is a teenager. I played with her at least two weeks of sim time, mut in simology card, days till age up are 13. It didn't change no metter how long I play. I checked my settings and sims should age up normally. I tried the default settings and I have still the same problem. Also, houses are not filling automatically. I have this problem for quite a while with multiple different sims on different save files.
What do you expect to see? I play with my sim. Days till age up change as I play with sim. Eventually, I can age up my sim.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure

@Baru1998 Baby Ariel has a special trait that keeps her from aging (among other things)

If you want her to age, you'll need to remove the trait:

traits.remove_trait BabyAriel

If that doesn't work, try the full trait name

traits.remove_trait trait_specialNPCs_BabyAriel

@crinrict Thank you so much! I didn't know that!

Now, I just hope that the other problems with aging were caused by the wrong settings because that one was created by me. XDDD

It's not just Baby Ariel that doesn't age. None of my sims age. Not the one I make, not the pre-made ones. I can force aging with cake, but if I won't force it with it, they wouldn't age at all. The last sim I had this problem with, apart from Baby Ariel, was the Elderberry family, more specifically their teenage son. But like I said, even my own sims don't age. I tested a few more families since the problem with Baby Ariel.
