Sims are not Aging - Sims 4

My Sims are not auto-aging. The setting for Auto Age (Played Sims): is set to Yes, lifespan Normal. Auto Age (Unplayed Sims): is also selected.

I have all the add-on content (except the CAS kits). I do have the Growing Together pack installed. 

I don't have ANY mods or CC currently installed. 

I recently switched to playing on a new computer. I have not played for long on the new computer and only noticed that auto-aging wasn't happening when my Sim had a baby and then I realized that the teen hadn't aged up either and the bar isn't filling like anyone is aging and there are no birthdays in the calendar. 

I tried the suggestion from a previous thread of backing up my saves and repairing the game. After I repaired the game I started a new save and  there still weren't any listed birthdays. I deleted that save and repaired again, I started a new save, this time with a Young Adult, a Child, and an Infant and the birthdays showed up. However, when I loaded my saves back into my game, the birthdays are still not showing up. 

Please help, I'm trying my first legacy challenge and it kind of defeats the point if I have to auto-age the Sims myself via birthday cake. 

Thank you!

    When you use Mods/CC there is always a possibility that a save will be permanently damaged after a patch if you do not check them for compatibility before using them in your main save again. That is why they get disabled. It looks like that is what happened here.

    I had mods and CC on the old computer but I haven't installed anything other than EA content on the new computer yet and the legacy challenge I started was on the new computer and I  have never used mods on it. (I didn't even use cheats on it).
