Patch turned on auto age for unplayed households
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 expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? pretty much all of them but I think this issue is unrelated to those.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Not sure. It just turned on for me recently after one of the upgrades.
What happens when the bug occurs? auto age unplayed households turned on automatically
What do you expect to see? I expected my settings to be saved even if there was an upgrade. I only wanted ageing to happen in the household of my choosing. I always kept the unplayed household ageing off on purpose.
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? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. I wish I knew. I recall in the past week at least twice that Origin came up and downloaded an upgrade so I'm not sure where it happened. I didn't notice until I was playing and ran into other child Sims from other households that were all of a sudden adults.
I don't know when this happened because I only discovered it after playing for some time and seeing a "new" sim on the street. When I rolled over the name it appeared that this adult was actually a child sim from another household that I have not played in quite sometime and he was now an adult. In addition, one of my households had a senior with a teen ager and when I went to play today, the senior is dead and it leaves the teen ager alone in the house. All this aging was apparently going on while I was playing different households and I didn't realize it. I lost a good deal of time with characters I did not want to age for various reasons.
I do not think I accidentally turned this option on. I never use it. I don't want my other households to go through their ageing processes while I am not in them to play along with it.
I guess I am most curious if anyone else had this issue or if anyone knows what caused it....?
