Cannot play existing saves

Hello crinrict,

I always completely exit out of the game and the EA app. I do not use any custom age mods. The only thing I can think of is that I do use UI cheats and will cheat back their ages at times. I could have done that with these sims when I had been playing them, before I saved them and put them in the testing save I used for this latest test. I just do not recall as it was a while back that I created this save for testing purposes alone. The rapid aging happened after I did the save, not the save as. I had gone in, saved and exited the game completely. I then removed the LE file and deleted the avatarcache, onlinecache folder, and localthumbcache. I then started the EA app, cleared that cache, and then went into the game. I opened the game using the load menu even though the main menu showed this save as the one to resume. I just went ahead and clicked load game and then selected this save. When the save loaded, I immediately started getting the pop ups about aging up and both sims started doing the age up animations going from young adult to adult and then adult to aging. It was when the grim reaper appeared that I exited without saving this time. While the game was going, I could not interrupt those actions with any commands to get them to sit or talk or anything, but that is probably due to the aging up and impending death. When I checked the sims folder, there was no LE.

So perhaps the aging has to do with the number of days coded for the sims themselves and if I try to use this save option for my other saves, when I put my mods back in, I can use the ui cheats to reset them to young adult?

I will be away from my computer for the rest of the day, just as an fyi. I think I have backed up saves from a long time ago that I can check in terms of whether I have any households where I did not use the age cheat.

Thank you again for your help. I really appreciate the time you spend helping everyone out. I hope you have a nice day.
