@SimGuruRitzyThis seems to happen for me specifically when the hen's been in my inventory (i.e gone to the fair and come back) when I get back home she's aged dramatically even though I have the setting off.

Wheras, the hens at home (in the outside world, one of which is older than the one that's an elder) are all still Young Adults as intended.

Hope this helps.

Adding to this. I just moved my main household and put all their chickens in the household inventory for the move. I have aging off, but now 3 of my chickens who had been young adults are elders. 

Only the 3 normal chickens aged. All my evil and gold chickens remained young adults.

I just submitted my cow Cocoa at the Finchwick faire and not only did I get the elder cow notification, but not minutes later the Reaper shows up. Did the faire reset the aging and do a rapid age or what??

So like, is there an update on this? Several people have sent saves I think and it still says needs saves. I've sent mine already but clearly many people are having this issue and there was an update today that didn't address this.

@ChemicalPrncessNope, still not fixed. Neither is the decoration snd gardening (plant revert to dirt pile) bug.

Marked as Solution for Visibility. This is still an open issue.

Hello Everyone!

There are a few more details and some more saves we are looking for, to cover all possible scenarios.

If anyone of you are still encountering this (without mods), would you be willing to share your save file(s) and help with a couple of details asked below?:

1. When the issue is observed did we turn on and turn off the 'Aging' option after some gameplay or before starting the game?

2. Did we purchase chicks or YA rooster or hen?

If so, please send me a private message with a link to the file.

Hi,
I have been experiencing the same bug for the first time after updating to patch version 1.83.24.1030 on PC last Saturday: My Sims' lama and cow have suddenly aged up to senior and adult, respectively - they were both young adults before. I have turned aging off in the pack settings of the game options menu since the first time I have played Cottage Living (even before buying my first farm animals).

Actually this issue started happening to me right after I updated my PC with the latest update as well (patch version 1.83.24.1030). Before that, I had animal aging turned off and no problems. This time, even though I have it turned off, my animals continue to age.

I have the setting for cottage living animal aging turned off and it works for all my animals except rabbits, my rabbits will age and die and I don't know why.

For some reason turning aging off started working for me again after staring a new save. I don't know what exactly has caused that change, since other people with a similar set-up are still experiencing the same bug.
