Happened to me just now. What worked for me was turning was turning off auto aging (turned it back on after). Waiting has worked for me before, but this solve was instant.
Hello
Welcome to the forums
It is helpful to hear that turning off auto aging helped with this issue in your game.
I've been having this issue so often lately! I posted on the EA forums and sent them my file, and they just responded with:
It looks like this can occur when an NPC is aging up. While we look into this, a possible workaround is to wait for a few Sim hours, until the NPC age up completes, after which the buttons should be usable again. (thread)
It's so frustrating because, yes, that was a given, but several people (specifically in that thread - which stems all the way back from 2016) have stated they have waited weeks in game and the problem never went away. I don't think I've tried all the things in this thread, though, so I'll try to keep it in mind for next time. I'm so sad that it keeps happening
Hopefully it gets fixed soon!! I can't believe it's been 3 years and there's still no solid fix.

It's really frustrating - turning aging on and off, changing Sim lifespans - none of that has worked for me. The only thing that does work is waiting, but sometimes even that doesn't work, and instead of losing a few Sim hours of gameplay, I'm losing several days. I'm never sure whether to just quit and cut my losses, or wait and hope that it will fix itself.
I had the same problem. I fixed it by turning on testing cheats, turning on cas.fulleditmode, shift clicking a sim(mine was a sim outside the active household), clicked 'modify in CAS,' and then exited CAS without saving. Instantly fixed it. Another cheat I heard about previously involved cheating a sim into labor and traveling to the hospital with the sim, but my only female sim was 1 day pregnant and I didn't want to force her to give birth so early.

Hello. Welcome to the forums It is helpful to read what workaround helped you in your game when you had the issue.
Hey guys, so nothing here has helped me unfortunately. Cas.edit, turning auto age off etc. What I did was, I play with MC mod, click on the post box, under delete options to delete all unplayed sims. Which obviously fixed because I really was playing for a long time and didn't wanted to leave unsaved. It was bad that I lost all the relationships, but I play with one household only so leaving it unsaved was worse.
Just had this happen on a game I started yesterday with seasons, found evolving a plant appeared to fix it after attempting to reset the sim and turning off auto age for those outside the household. Not sure if this will apply to other games but thought I'd add it on :)

Hello
Welcome to the forums It is helpful and kind of you to post what helped with this issue in your game.
What worked for me was going into create a sim using mc commands. After going into cas and coming out it let me save. Occasionally my game will let me save after some time but this time it didn’t and what I did seemed to work. Hope it works for others!

Scratch that I think it actually just loaded my last save so kinda worked but also still lost progress

So I did everything that people said to do but only one helped I did the labor trick I have to have her to work! If ur sim is about to give birth then just go to the hospital with them and you can save your game when u get home!

Welcome to the forums It is helpful to hear what worked for you.to help with this issue.
Most of the time this happens for me it just goes away. It usually goes away in at least 48 sim hours. It can't go away while paused however. I left it paused overnight and it didn't help. :(
If you get a Satellite dish, you can command the world to what I like to call a bladder epidemic. When this happens, all Sims leave the lot (except the Sims n your household), regardless of the aging up factor. Just a note though, everyone in your household, except the Sim who activates the epidemic, will be affected by the command. I have used this on several occasions and it works like a charm.
What I did, I had my Sims aging turned to long, then I took my Sims and volunteered at the soup kitchen, then turned my aging back to normal and it worked for me. Hopefully it helps!!

Hello Welcome to the forums !
It is very kind of you to post your helpful workaround tip for this issue.
Tried everything, nothing worked. Lucky for me, I leave my sim game unsaved for RL days on end and play for about 10+ hours a day! Yay, I lost about 30 hours of progress from this glitch! I'm not mad AT ALL...
Inspired +1 - Who isn't inspired after seeing the cutest thing ever come out of the banana they were eating?

I am sorry that you lost all that game progress. That isn’t very good at all.
I just had this problem happen to me! I let it play out for a few sim days and it still persisted, and I also tried other workarounds listed in this thread. I was about to give up and lose progress, but luckily I tried one more thing. I used the new calendar from seasons and planned a social event at a different lot (dance party, cost only a few bucks), and made the start time in an hour. As soon as I clicked check, it offered to take me to the venue, and I once there I was able to save! The phone won’t allow you to plan a social event when the “aging up” thing is happening, so the calendar turns out to be a lifesaver. Just thought I would share this as another workaround option ☺️
