Hello.
If anyone is still seeing this issue (without mods), do you happen to have a save from before the child or teen gets the phase? If so, would you be willing to share the save?
Instructions on how to send saves are here:

My Teenage sim and one of my child aged sims are stuck in the Distant and Picky Eater Phase. They used to just last a few days, but now they won’t go away. The game doesn’t acknowledge that they have a phase because the “ Ask about Phase” option is not there under the parenting section, but when you go to the Simology page, the phases are there as well as the moodlets that come with them.

I can't test the console versions, but this doesn't happen on PC.

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I really have no idea when it started or how. I just noticed it one day
What happens when the bug occurs? My teen sim and one of my child sims have been in the same phase for a very long time.
What do you expect to see? Normal rotation of phases i.e : only lasting a few days
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? On console - never used.

My teen and child sims have been stuck in the distant and picky eater Phase for a very long time. I contacted EA before and was instructed to Clear the MAC address, power cycle the console, go to Blu-ray in settings and clear the persistent storage three times. Nothing has changed. I don’t know if this is a bug or not

Actually it does.

Very rarely do I rotate houses. I noticed it after I moved my sims into a new house.Ever since they’ve been there, they adopted the phases and now they won’t go away. That could have been the case, but I have no idea

Yeah one of my kids, has suffered terribly, the Bear Phase, you hover over the moodlet, and it doesn't even tell you how much time is left, i can't even get a parent to talk about the phrase because it's missing but I reported ths bug many years ago, and it's obviously ignored, so I just give up..
