My Townie Teens Don't Age?
Hello! So, here is my problem: I've recently been playing a legacy save in which some of the NPC teens don't age up. I am currently on the 4th generation and I show up to Copperdale and sims that ...

I think I figured it out! At least, this seemed to work on my end, I don't know if it will on everyone else's.
But basically, my computer lagged while I was backing up my game and I lost my saves, mods, and tray.
I was super distraught, but when I reinstalled everything (mods included), I didn't have a teen, so I ddin't bother placing a custom high school.
I played through my generation, had a child, and when they got to high school I kind of forgot that I never did replace the OG one and I was surprised to find everyone had the right age.
I did test it with another save, and everyone had the right age then too.
I don't know if the solution was just deleting every important file or playing with the high school that shipped with the pack, but either way, one of these two options worked 😅
@NeptuneinBloom Hi, thanks for your post.
So what you're saying is just replacing the original school with a custom one will fix the bug?
Another hypothesis mentioned above would be that the bug comes from the graduation event which does not occur.
So maybe uploading a new school "resets" this event and fixes the bug (but just temporarily)?

Honestly it was keeping the original school and not replacing it that helped! I also tried graduating early with my sims so I didn't attend graduation to try and glitch it, but it worked regardless!
I'm really not sure what helped, but in case it is keeping the OG school, I won't be downloading custom schools 🙂
I haven't added a custom school to any of my saves. I even tested this twice on a fresh save with vanilla and they still wouldn't age up.
However i did find a way to make them age up.
If you set them to played they seemed to instantly age up, which means in theory if you set every household to played it should age as normal, even if it is a chore. (make sure to set played households to unlimited! Trust me, there's a lot of them to go through)
I'm not sure why this is the case, and I'm certainly hoping it is a bug and not a "feature".
- @CroutonCabbage Thank you so much! This worked for me. Hopefully they fix this bug soon!
