also having problems
don't use mods, have lifetime set to long, tried repairing as suggested by an EA Help twitter mod
if it's helpful to know, this seems to be an issue every time i close and then boot up the game. the following happened:
occasion 1) adult sims aged to elders, despite having a third of their lifespan left
occasion 2) teen sim aged to adult, despite only having been a teen for a day!
occasion 3) having cheat aged the two elders back to adult sims, noted that they had 82 days left before aging up in occasion 2. when i logged on this time that had shortened to 71 days
very little game play in each of these occasions - an hour, at most, in sim time, so not enough for them to age 11 days! maybe the issue is to do with the game booting up?

Having this issue too, I made a save as copy of my current household save to test, it's an older save about a year old or so. I have it on long life span. I took my main family into CAS, and upon exiting the entire household aged up. I checked prior to entering CAS and each member was about halfway through their current stage which was 2 YAs 1 child and 1 toddler. After CAS they are 2 Adults, 1 teen, and 1 child. Also after exiting CAS Dennis Kim instantly died. R.I.P.

I'm reporting this to let the Devs know this is happening with aging off as well. When I first logged into my game after updating, the bug hadn't affected all of my played sims. After exiting to remove two glitched mods when I went back in the bug had affected all of my played sims.

I'm having the same problem as others, immediate aging up. I play long lifespans. I played rotational, and it killed the 2 elders in my lot at the same time, granted one of them was really due to be dead. And when I went to the other family lot, it aged up an adult, 2 children 2 teens, and later, 2 teens to young adults. I'm afraid of keep playing this game, considering the style I play.
My only expansion packs are Cats and Dogs and City Living. I have Parenthood and Spa Day as game packs.

would like to confirm this issue is also happening on PS4 seeing as all of these reported seem to be PC players.
opened my game, my sims had 80 days. 26 days and 19 days, went into CAS, when I came back it was 65 instead of 80 and the rest of the household was ageing up.

I installed the new updates on PS4 and loaded up my game and played around for day or two. I read in to the new options with body hair and stuff so I opened up a household in Create a Sim from there traits menu in that household. After I retuned EVERYONE in the household is ready to age up I had a back up save and for some reason now everyone is still ready to age up. I legit had a new adult who is now about to be an elder and 5 teens all becoming young adults before I was finished. Is there anyway I can fix this or am I just out of luck because the update is bugged?

It seems like the long lifespan has issues right now. I use the long lifespan.

Is your lifespan on "Long"? If so, that's the bug. Even Champions and Hero's experience this bug too.
Set the "Sim Lifespan" to Medium or Short.
