I don't know what's causing this glitch but all the adults in my game are immediately dying once they age up into elders.
I first noticed this glitch when random citizens were "dropping like flies," all elders. At first, I thought they were just old and dying of old age, as this save as been played for a long time on a long life span, but then my own sim died upon aging up to elder.
Hello. So I have a glitch in my game with the elders. As soon as I age them up they die. I have already tried repairing my game.
I would recommend a game repair along with removing the cache (as follows) and see if this helps. If this does not help we can move on to looking for other possible causes.
Do you have Mods or CC? If you do please remove them in this process and try the troubleshooting as described below. (If you don't have Mods or CC, just skip the part about removing the Mods folder, but still delete the cache file mentioned and run the repair.) If you ever had Mods or CC in the past then do the steps as if you have them currently (removing the Mods folder), as there could be damage that has remained after you removed them.
If it was Mods/CC: If this fixes the issue I would recommend that you check with the Mod and CC creators to see if there are any known issues with their Mod/CC clashing with the recent update and if so do they have an updated Mod/CC that will address the changes in the game's code from the update. You can then re-add your updated Mods/CC one at a time to see if one was conflicting with the function/causing the glitch - but do not re-add the old config file from the old mods folder, as it is possible for it to have become corrupted also.
Let us know how it goes. Thanks!
@jazzie_1718 I've merged your post with another thread on the same issue. Please try the steps in @SheriGR's reply and let her know whether it worked.
Did you ever figure out what was causing it? I'm having the same problem and I removed all the cc that deals with death or things of that nature and it's still happened.
@HaruNekolai Try playing with no mods or custom content at all. If you see the same issue, try testing in a new save—there are probably plenty of premade adult sims you could age to elder with a birthday cake to see what happens.
Ahh thank you. I was being lazy but seeing your comment pushed me to actually find the problem.
@HaruNekolai Can I please clarify what the issue was in the end? Thanks!
Oh yep! For me it was the private practice mod by the sim realist.
To clarify, it wasn't a glitch or anything. Apparently they just had really * health.
@HaruNekolai Ahhh... thank you for letting us know. I'm so glad you found the issue and are all set! 🙌
