Gameplay settings are not correctly applied
Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.62.67.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Only base game
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Game Options > Gameplay settings: Disable Auto-aging for unplayed sims, set Lifespan to "Long" and disable "Fill empty homes".
What happens when the bug occurs? The settings "Auto-Aging (unplayed Sims)", "Lifespan" and "Fill empty homes" do not work as expected. - I disabled the auto aging of unplayed sims, but they still do age. - I set the lifespan to "Long" and on played Sims this seems to work fine, but unplayed sims (not in the currently live played household) do still age pretty fast. - I disabled the "Fill empty homes" setting, but there are still random NPCs spawning. I only want my own created households to exist, but there always spawn so many new NPCs again, after I deleted them.
What do you expect to see? I expect my unplayed sims NOT to age and die all the time while I disabled this in the settings. Just for clarification: I understand "unplayed Sims" as any sim, that is NOT part of my currently live played household. And I also expect the NPC-Spawn to stop when disabling it.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure

I did always restart the game after changing the settings and checked that the settings look as expected after restart.
