Sims birthday keeps moving forward - cant have birthdays

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? GP06: 1.assets.ml-gp06.165
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Seasons, Cats and Dogs, University, Eco Lifestyle, Snowy Escape, City Living, Get Famous, Get To work, Jungle Adventure, Dine Out, Parent Hood, Realm of Magic, Star Wars, Vampires, Tiny Living, Laundry day, Vintage Glamour Stuff.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? This happens for ALL my sims. When i check the Calendar their birthday is constantly being moved to the next day. So the birthday is ALWAYS 2 days away. Even if it lands on a non holiday; the birthday will get moved the next day. I can just manually age up my sims with the cake and the age up option on the toddlers but i dont like that i can never have a "birthday"
What happens when the bug occurs? Birthday Is constantly getting moved forward. Can not have a birthday. Cant throw birthday parties (even if i plan it in advance on the day of their birthday at that time. It will say no sim has a birthday) Babies need to be manually aged up because their birthdays never come.
What do you expect to see? I expect to be able to celebrate my sims birthdays
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure

    Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

    You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

    After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

    Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

    • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
    • Tray Folder
    • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
    • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
    • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
    • ConfigOverride, if you have your own configuration files.
    • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

    The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

    I am having this issue now, only it is with other played households that aren't active. So if i had played with the pancakes and go back to my household for a birthday, the birthday had been moved forward.
