Sim can’t age

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Microsoft XBOX One
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
What is your current game version number? 1.42.9.2300
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Tiny Living Cats and Dogs Seasons University My First Pet Stuff
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Add a townie sim to your household via the join household interaction or open a household in game and try to age up your sim.
What happens when the bug occurs? The options to blow out candles, taste frosting, and make a wish don’t appear in the menu of a birthday cake with candles in the middle of a table, you can’t age them up in CAS, even if its the first thing you do when you open a save. The sims age bar is permanently stuck at 11 days until age up (short lifespan) even though her partner is about to age up to an elder.
What do you expect to see? My sim should age naturally.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? On console - never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

The bug may have happened after I switched her gender settings to “can get sims pregnant” but not sure. 

@Jpchein Aging is on, just wanted to make that clear 😊

  • @Jpchein OK, one of the Sims is Alex Moyer from the tutorial, right ? She can't die because of the trait: SpecialNPC_isFTUERoommate

    I don't see the male Sim in this househod ?

    You would need to cheat and remove the trait if you want her to age but on console this would disable your achievements. Let me know if you want to do it anyways.

  • @Jpchein Some Sims can't die because of hidden traits they have.

    Could you upload your family to the gallery so I can check if that's the case ?

    @crinrict I already have cheats on because I did some troubleshooting of my own and discovered that this could also happen because of the weirdo trait. I cheated to remove that trait (which she didn’t have) only to discover that it came with city living. Thanks! Will definitely try to remove that
