Singular sim’s age bar not progressing

I originally had this posted on gameplay issues but now I suspect it could be bug related?? Sorry if this an issue.

Hello, this is my first post here so please forgive me if I do anything incorrectly! 

I am experiencing an issue with a sim downloaded off the gallery where the age bar does not progress on it's own, remaining at the very beginning of the bar as if they have only just aged up. This sim is the only one experiencing the issue, all the other sims in the same save file are progressing as normal. When moving this sim across to another save file to test whether it was only an issue with the previous one, the issue still remained. I had the sim try to blow out candles on a cake but the option for that wasn't even present. Could it be a possibility that the sim is just flat-out broken or corrupted? Previously, the same sim was displaying werewolf traits despite being a non-occult sim- I was eventually able to fix this, but I haven't found a fix with the aging issue. I have tried:

  • Editing the age manually in CAS full edit mode (aging them up by one life stage then aging them back down, hoping that it may restart the age bar)
  • Removing them from the household by placing them into Not In World, then bringing them back.
  • Using MCCC to manually move along the days lived counter. This worked to move it along but it continued to not progress, only just stay at the spot I had manually moved it to.
  • Tried to remove weirdo trait, as well as a couple other hidden traits that I thought the sim could possibly have. I could have possibly missed a hidden trait whilst doing this? Though, I have no possible way to find out what the traits could be as the usual mod suggested to find them is currently not working (or at least did not show up in my game), and as said before this is a gallery sim so I am unsure what happened prior to them being uploaded to the gallery.

Additionally, there is no way that this sim is pregnant as they are unable to and this has lasted longer than three in-game days. I hope that there is a fix for this issue. I don't want to restart as I am currently doing a challenge so it would be painful to have to redo everything :(

  • Hi Pr1nceRaven​ 

    It does sound like they still have some traits that cause issues.

    Do you remember the creator/name of the Sim in the gallery ? If not, please reupload. Put something in the description that it's for testing.

    Hi crinrict​ — yes, I still have the sim! Were you wanting to take a look at them? Thank you for your reply!

    Just try uploading it to the gallery (it's a bit wonky atm) or if you still have the original creator, I can download it from them.

  • Pr1nceRaven​  This sounds like one of two things which you can check with MCCC.  First, is the sim you dled from the Gallery a copy of game sim that is hidden and may have a trait making them immortal or disables aging.  Look at the sim's hidden traits and see if there is one that says aging disabled and/or immortal.  And second, does the sim have any MCCC flags set.  Look at the sim's flags and see if the aging disabled and/or immortal flags have been set on the sim.  

    Hope this helps.
