Re: Sims 4 aging glitch after changing looks

donnabailey · November 2018

Now that Get Famous is out, can anyone confirm or deny that installing the pack fixes this bug? I'm having it too and believe me I've tried everything I can think of and nothing works. I won't be buying the EP until a major sale happens for it.

The only other thing I can add is that I've read on here and the forums so many people who are grieving lost prepatch saves. It is SO IMPORTANT not to just backup your saves before a patch, but to keep at LEAST one copy of those saves untouched until you are certain that all bugs have been fixed. Back up your saves before the patch, but afterwards put in a COPY of your most recent save! Always keep at least one backup save pristine and untouched! That's what I've done since Sims 3, and I haven't lost a prepatch save in like 10 years.

My heart goes out to those who've lost their 2 or 3 year old saves.

My Sims are aging up even tho I have the Expansion Pack installed. Seems like I have to wait for a patch

LOL...this is why we are all always told to backup our saves/mods/content with a new patch/release :P

crinrict · November 2018

It doesn't fix it. My mistake.

My Sim is just immune against the bug (no idea why) and my test was off as I tested a different Sim without the EP installed.

EDIT

I always recommend playing a new save with a major patch to find out how everything works. Then when we know what's going on, you can dive into your old one.

Good Luck

@Morgy I always do backup, but the problem appeared after the upgrade, and the same way if you get the files from the backup and put it back in the folder of The Sims 4 the problem will appear anyway, because it came in the last upgrade.

Morgy · November 2018

Yeah, I'm starting to see that. I just can't to wrap my mind around how they missed this. EA is supposed to test the game and patches before release...its starting to look as though they are getting sloppy.

thanks for this update I hope they can get it done tonight or sometime over the weekend :P

Thanks for the replies to my question @revivalize and @crinrict I guess all of us will have to wait for a fix. What a bummer.

Why is this marked as "solved" when it is not. Once again this new system fails.
