I've got aging unchecked for both my sims and townies and both continue to age. Please fix this guru's I don't want my sims and townies aging yet. It doesn't matter if their played or unplayed sims their still aging to spite me having aging unchecked in all catagories.
This was happening before latest patch so it isn't patch related.

This JUST started happening to me! I've been playing with aging off and I just checked my sims to see if they aged, and they have aged one day. I'm going to quit without saving and try to figure out what set this off...

I'm responding because you said "unchecked for both my sims and townies." You may just be using a figure of speech, but I wanted to be sure you realized that for your played Sims, there is a dropdown menu with three options: active household only, played sims only (housed sims you've never played), or ageing off (for all played sims). Then there is also the box to check for whether you want ageing on or off for your unplayed sims (includes townies and any housed sims that you've never played).
Cat, I had the same problem. And yes, I was aware of the drop down menu. They now have 52 days left. I think this happens anytime I switched families, and or moved them to the other towns. If I do that, some of them have aged when I rotate. They should have 80 days left.
Of course the days of the week will pass by whether your sims are set to age or not, but the time remaining till they age up shouldn't change. I have aging off for both Played Sims and Unplayed, and as a result, the lifespan setting is greyed out. I don't know what'll happen if the bugged aging persists while my game has nothing set as the lifespan?! Clearly this is a B.U.G. in the true sense of the world, and has nothing to do with the OP making the grammatical mistake of "to spite" when he clearly meant "despite"

That's how it was in my game too--until today! Now they are aging every night at midnight with aging off. This needs to be fixed ASAP!!!!
I am forced to play something else until this is fixed.

SimGuruGrant acknowledged that there's a bug with aging now http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/comment/12791823/#Comment_12791823
That was for people who can't age up their babies--but he didn't address the matter of not being able to prevent aging for the other sims. I didn't even check on the household that has a baby, to see if they could age it (I didn't want any sim to age yet) but clearly Grant's mistaken about the second half of his advice there, about turning aging off after aging up the baby. That isn't going to work anymore.
I'm really upset about this because I can't play until it's fixed.

If you don't want to risk the current game, make it as a separate save (Save as option), start and play a new world with new sims till it's patched.
Yeah, I'll have to make a new game that is okay for the sims to age, but I hadn't planned on something like that and I was really into what I was doing with the game. I was having fun and now everything I was working on is lost because they cannot manage to keep a feature like aging functioning a couple weeks after the game hits the market????
Now I fear it's Sims 3 all over again. Never get attached to a sim, it's going to break...
This is plumming ridiculous EA plumness.

From the moment "aging" was mentioned when sims 4 was a twinkling in a gurus eye I feared they wouldn't get it right, (grumble!!!). I don't want my sims to age either.
He's since responded saying they're on the sims aging in spite of aging off too.
