I’m having this problem trying to age up child sims. I also just installed the update. I tried it with 2 different sims (twins) but had the same glitch both times. I tried it again with new candles and a third time with a new cake but no luck.

I had my Sim's family travel to a different lot, and then he was able to age up. I haven't tried again at my home lot since then.

I’ll second that!
I updated my game today, launched it and threw a birthday party at home, and my sim wouldn’t age, she would just reset away from the cake.
I quit and relaunched the game and took the party to another lot and she aged without issues.
Thanks for the tip!

For those affected by this issue, did your sim have self-assured trait?

 

I made another attempt where I made a sim and three kids, one with each of the same trait my affected sim had.

Art Lover, Self-Assured and Outgoing.

All three grew up to become teens.

The one who got the Self-Assured trait did not age up after teen though.


Yup having this problem specifically with a Self-Assured sim, who is a teenager, and has had a birthday party and a regular cake after the birthday party. She's at 0 days until age up and isn't aging.

Same issues as others. I'm trying to age up a child (he's 9 days out, but since he's accomplished everything I want, he's ready for teen). Tried multiple times re-adding candles, tried exiting and going back in, all have the transport glitch. This happened after the update.

 

Also had sim due to age up from YA to adult, on last day of aging up, and same glitch.

Going to a different lot allowed him to age up with the cake normally. Weird, but I'll take it.
