Sims Not Aging In New Saves

The title is a bit self explanatory - In any new save I make my sims simply do not age. The bar doesn't increase, hovering over the bar does not show how many days they have till aging, and so they simply do not get any older. This applies to anyone of any age group and seems to apply to the NPCs in my world as well. The only way my sims can die if if they are killed by something and the only way I can age them is through cheats. 

However, in any of my older saves (about a month or so ago) my sims do age and the aging is still working. If I played in those saves, everything would be working exactly how it should - mods and all. 

Yes, I do use mods. The mods I can see being most problematic are MCCC, XMLInjector, or CCs. However, I spent the bulk of yesterday resolving any errors reported by MCCC, adjusting the age settings to default, and even factory resetting my game. It did not resolve the issue of aging in new saves. I believe it may be a game issue since I did, I think, all I could to fix my mods if they were the issue. I'm at a complete loss. 

I also have the Cats & Dogs, Get To Work, Cottage Living, Horse Ranch, Highschool Years, Discover University, Vampires, Seasons, and Werewolves packs incase that may cause issues such as this. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • The aging settings are applied individually by save. You need to set the aging options for the particular save. Are your aging settings in game options  in your new saves, showing different from the aging settings in your old saves?

    Using the cake to age todlers does not work for me. It works on adult sims.  Guess I'll have to age on cas mode :(

    I'm not sure because I don't see aging settings in my default game settings, just in my MCCC settings which are the same for every playthrough. It may be different though if that's the case! I just need to find it.

    Apparently auto-age has been turning off for all my new saves on its own. That solved my issue! Thanks <3

    My young adult was able to age by blowing the candles on the cake. When she helped her toddler blow out the candles, nothing happened, other than the toddler being back on the floor
