Athlete sims won't die of old age

Hello,

I have noticed, that my elderly sims won't die of old age, but it just affects the sims in the athlete career, for some reason all of my athlete sims are female xD
The age bar is full, still one of my sims lived through all the teenage life stage of her son and still is alive.
Same with another household, where the grandmothers life bar is full since her first granddaughter was born, today she aged up to a child...
I was so annoyed by it, I let the first lady freeze in the winter, because I finally wanted her to leave. And for the other one that lives with the family of her son, I really need her room for the kids. The toddler sleeps in the living room and the child has to share a room with her granny.

I don't use mods, so maybe it's something you noticed too? I feel like it is since the october patch, maybe september, I don't know.

Back a couple of years when I was playing Pinstar's Legacy Challenge, my Sim made the tragic error of falling for Sim who was much older than she appeared. The day they married, I kid you not, she turned into an Elder. This was way before the devs gave us those helpful age signs above the clicked on Sim. Had he known she was dangerously close to old age, he of course wouldn't have married her. Kind of defeats the purpose of a Legacy, if the bride can't conceive. Heirs must be blood-related. Cheats are against the Legacy Rules, too. So, he had an affair with the Sim who almost stole his heart before Maddie turned his head, that is. She gave him three sons, ultimately. He moved her in during the first pregnancy, and his wife knew better than to challenge this decision on his part, as she wanted him for companionship in her last days, so to speak. She having deceived him in the first place.

Of course, my Founder put off marrying the mother of his children, while Maddie was alive. But the old gal was an exercise freak. She was taking forever, even after the sparkly bar showed up. My Founder made the mistake of bringing his lady-love his great news, first, instead of deferring to his lawful wife. Maddie also was hot-headed. They had quite the row, she even threw her drink in his face. Then she seemingly locked herself in the downstairs bathroom for an interminable amount of time. The upper floor wasn't completed, so this was the only bathroom available. His son was young and really had to go. (This was back before we got toddlers.) My Founder decided to go check on his wife and found her on the bathroom floor. She finally succumbed to her 103 days.

All of this to say, I'm uncertain if this prolonged lifespan is the result of the patch.
