Sims with auto-age off are inviting me to their birthday party

Product: The Sims 4


Platform: PC


Which language are you playing the game in? English


How often does the bug occur? Not sure, i installed new packs and it happen almost instantly.


What is your current game version number? 1.101.290.1030


What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Jungle Adventure, Home Chef Hustle Stuff Pack, Poolside Splash Kit, Fashion Street Kit, Backyard Stuff, Luxury Party Stuff, Holiday Celebration Pack

.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Received a phone call and go to the party, they invited a chef to make the birthday cake and other sims to celebrate. I was given the dialog options for birthday parties. I managed to stop the aging processes by changing households.


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? Yes installing Home Chef Hustle and Backyard Stuff packs.

    I see that my bug report have been moved to Feedback.

    Is this not a bug?

    If i don't accept the invitation to the birthday party the sim doesn't age?

    I got a birthday party invitation in a save with aging off and said out loud, “You’d better NOT be having a birthday!” My Sim attended and the “birthday girl” didn’t age up.

    That said, yeah, I was pretty dismayed the whole time.

    @DT4750 yeah, it's not a bug. Just don't go and they won't age up. It's kind of a way to experience birthday parties and make the conscious choice if you want to age someone else up or not.

    It's always been that way but the patch fixed invites which is why you probably haven't seen it before.

    @xochiquetzl_xkvn They didn't ? Did you make sure there was no cake to blow out ? They used to age up if you went (cause they blew out the candles on their own)

    @crinrict  She didn’t age up, but I think people ate the cake before she could blow out candles. 🤣 Good to know for the future!
