Not OP, but I play on PC with no mods or custom content and I started having this issue after the July 26 patch.

Not OP, but I also have the bug (on PC). The light in the upper right side of the calender icon glows when loading the game. When I open the calender it goes away. When I change the lot or map the icon goes back to glowing. Also there is no specific event on this day other than some notification in relation to the lunar cycle.

 

These might be actually two bugs not one (the light glowing without specific event and the light reappearing on travel). I put them both in the form. I'm not sure though whether this is correct.

Could this be caused because of the lifespan set to normal? Since the age progress doesn't update anymore, the birthday of this sim would need to move to the next day every day.

@7ktued1xyw82 Don't think so. From what I see it just reappears every time my Sims travel/load the game

@7ktued1xyw82 Not birthday related, I've been having the same issue before my Sims got the aging glitch since the patch.

I have the same problem. 

Nothing new happens, still get notifications.

Lifespan lenght is set to normal but I'm not sure that's the reason why it appears.

I have this problem too. Calendar has constantly glowing dot.
This happens to cell phone too. Social bunny has glowing dot even when there aren't new messages.
