@DonroaAkashu I have not noted as to whether it is all ages or just certain ones. I think I am going to start a brand new save and test run it. I am running some CC/Mods but NOTHING that interferes with Sims life cycle or the calendar.

The challenge does permit us to age a baby up once you get the notification, but it is the toddlers that I was seeing the problem with. Once my first pregnancy became toddlers, all heck broke loose and their birthdays randomly changed on the calendar until (for whatever reason) my first and 2nd pregnancy were the same days. Since then I haven't seen an issue but I am only on pregnancy number 4 so I am sure it is bound to happen again. I will try to take photo's of it next time and will remove my mods/cc as well.

@PastelSpoonie  Great that you are going to test it; and in a new folder with no mods since they can have unforeseen consequences even if it isn't intuitive to their actual aim. I'll be interested to hear about it.

I am guessing this is the challenge?

I interpret the rules to be forgiving for trying to solve problems resulting from game issues; and that toddler's age are not bound by the calendar, but by their skill development. Quote from rules section:

"No cheats! The only exceptions to this are bb.moveobjects on for creative building purposes and cheating to resolve glitches."

And

"Toddlers can be aged up when they reach level 3 in all toddler skills."
