animals dying with aging turned off...again.

 

Animals dying again after bug fixed in 1.113.277.1230 (Feb 2025) but bug returned with  1.113.297.1220 update (Mar 2025)

As the title states, I had issues with animals (chickens, rabbits, cows, llamas, and foxes) dying even when animal aging was disabled and non-household sim aging turned off. I would switch between households and upon loading the household with the animals, grim would appear and kill off my entire farm. 

This was fixed in the February 2025 update. Gameplay worked and animals were not dying with animal aging turned off. 

The same exact issue re-emerged with the March 20, 2025 update.

I play on PC. I do not use mods or cc. I have the following packs and expansions installed: 

  • Toddler Stuff
  • Snowy Escape
  • Outdoor Retreat
  • Jungle Adventure
  • Holiday Celebration Pack
  • Growing Together
  • Get to Work
  • Cottage Living
  • Backyard Stuff
  • Crystal Creations Stuff Pack

I also still have animals stuck in my household inventory that I can't place, but that's another issue for another day. I am sick of my animals dying every time I build a good relationship with them and being murdered en masse.

    Im having the same issue on xbox series x, i have every expansion pack. i have 2 farms and a ranch all my animals die even if i am playing another household i go back to farms grim appears and reaps them all. I have animal aging off and all aging off on the game. Its chickens, goats, sheep, cows, llamas also rabbits and foxes. I remember it happening before but it was fixed now the bug is back. I no longer play my ranches and farms because i know what will happen as soon as i load them, this bug is ruining my game i also have llamas stuck in my inventory i cant move or sell.
