TINY HOUSE CHALLENGE
The May Family
Modeling Career?
As long as the game settings are set to short or normal lifespan with aging on or off the bug should not occur. Don't have the setting with long even selected as a grayed out option.
Yes, tried the game today and my merman suddenly aged up when he came back from a trip to the city. His age bar was only half full before! Think I might turn aging off for a while to see if that stops it. (I wanted him to stay a young adult! 😭).

Make sure to save your individual sims and households to your Origin library too if you haven't already. I'm doing that so I won't have to remake any of them if for some reason my backup saves are totally ruined by this bug.

Goodness I didn't know it was this extreme
I might have to return the prepatch save point when all of this is over just to be sure cause I can't honestly tell if things changed when i was in goth house looking at update stuff and changing preferences and whatever body hair stuffz for my sims means redoing those changes but hey at least i didn't do a lot and i actually recorded the progress so i know which sims i did change so i can redo it yay
not gonna lie the sim apocalypse is rather amusing I just wish its fixed soon tho so I can play again
oooor I guess i could have very deathful separate save while i wait i guess just to gather inspiration for my next horrible deeds
I've been back and forth on Answers HQ and the issue is with both short and long lifespans as per their testing thus far. So in order to avoid the bug, you need to set it to normal lifespan or aging off with normal lifespan greyed out. If it's on either long or short (greyed out or not) your sims will get days added every time you go in and out of CAS.
I also had the issue of my sim aging up (when aging was turned off) the very first time I went into the game/CAS right after I updated originally. But thankfully it only happened that first time and hasn't since. Played for a couple of hours today and my sim is staying at their current age with no issues going in and out of CAS.
Long story short (pun intended): Only set your game options to normal lifespan or aging off with normal lifespan greyed out, just to be safe. Stay away from short/long lifespans completely.

ETA: This problem players are reporting, makes me wonder, since it appears to happen to NPCs, as well, that perhaps the game isn't going to generate students, per se, but to take some of our Teens, randomly to school? This would make me happy, if that's the case.

Our troops have gained access to fame we will no longer be outnumbered by the randomized townies it is now or never we must fight these zombies!
Day 2:
the enemy is launching fashion attacks!
but we will not falter no we will stand for what is right!
Day3:
Mortimer: Do I look old to you Bella?
Bella: Maybe a little... you don't think -
*Mortimer ages up*
Mortimer: they've gained access to it haven't they.
Day4: premades rebellion falls with heavy casualties sims drop down left and right all aging rapidly, ultimately even Goths are on their death bed
*rocks shift as Agnes Crumplebottom raises from the ashes unaged fresh as ever*
Agnes grabs her purse and launches into the crowd of zombie smacking them down one by one as all other now elderly premades watch with tears in their eyes
" she's back" sims cry in relief
but its too late for grim is already on his way...
BEEP BEEEP BEEEP BEEEP
Alexander wakes up and rubs his eyes
That one was just a dream right.... Right?????
I haven't even updated yet nor is my game connected to the internet, I play offline. How would I get that message?
That's messed up, and a whole lot of freaky. Which makes one wonder if Origin is ever really as offline as the word implies. Is some background function of Origin still online even when it says it's not.
And no mention of the travel bug. The aging bug is by far the biggest bug and should get higher priority, but the travel bug isn't trivial either. Acknowledging both wouldn't be that hard.
I know that's not a fix entirely, because it is hard to build big groups that way, but at least Liberty could go to Matteo's house and then "invite to" somewhere else for example.
Sorry, I'll let myself out...😊
Actually, when I went to the Grimwood bar and bunker with my werewolf family I'm sure that Vlad the vampire, who seems always to turn up, had got younger - or at least revitalised dancing away!
