Old bug is back: Sims age up after using Create-a-Sim

[SimmerStar4]

@DasRabennest Is that Fear limited to a specific age group?
I'm guessing this might be a separate issue and/or a different symptom of the same glitch. It could be that the Fear has been incorrectly assigned to an age group, or a glitch allows a Sim to get the Fear when it shouldn't. I don't think this is necessarily a sign of the lifespan glitch based on this info.

@DasRabennest Did you have days added when going to CAS/Manage World/Loading ?

It's pretty easy to test.

@crinrict This was a family I had made and moved in before the patch ever came out, so they were an "existing family," just one that I knew had no days in their bars when last I left them.

@rachelwolfe Do they further age still or one time only ?

[rachelwolfe]

@crinrict One time only; going in and out of CAS didn't affect them (this was after I'd switched the lifespan to normal). So what it does indicate to me is that the act of loading up a long-lifespan save gives all the sims in the save file an age boost before you ever enter live mode.

For what it's worth, I opened a long lifespan save with aging disabled. (Aging was already disabled for everyone before the update.) I did not change the greyed out "long" to "normal" until after about 20 minutes of gameplay. I did not enter CAS nor travel during that time. I've checked two different households (the only two in which I could be certain of their age), and no days have been added. 

Good luck, and godspeed.

@rachelwolfe It's possible. I have another idea for a test but that will need to wait till tomorrow.

I was able to figure out that the aging bug only affects saves from the current patch version(1.90.358.1030) of the game any game you start before that patch don't have the bug, but once you save it in the new patch version it doesn't keep the sims age level at all.  I was able to load a older version of my save from 2/27/22 and the age information was not changed, I also did a save game from 7/23/22 which was the last time I played The Sims 4 before today.  Once I did save as and reloaded the game the age bar jumped up again.  I am still looking for a work around.

@Sid1701d9 It does seem to be an issue with reloading in the new patch. My initial play in the new patch was unaffected and then after playing around in CAS for a bit, the save's age data was messed up when I loaded into the household.

[Sid1701d9]

Well it is not just CAS, it is also loading the game after you save it in the new patch, my guess is the teen aspirations is most likely the problem.
