golden chick not aging up

[Olympian_Girl]

@Olympian_Girl ok that chick JUST aged up out of nowhere and now it's an ELDER?????

I had the same issue and looked it up to see if there was an answer. I put both my chicks in my household inventory in build more, went back into live, then back into build mode and placed the chicks back. Few sim hours later they both aged up!

If you shift click and reset them once they enter the coop it will age then up I had five chicks who would not age up and I reset them all and they have all ages up now hope this helps

This worked for me.  I ddi it at night when everyone was in the coop, so the chickens ended up in my family inventory as well. I put the coop back and then each individual chicken back in the yard. Once the chick in question got back into the coop he aged up.

Golden chicks are incredibly stubborn even to the workarounds, although I did not quit build mode after placing the coop in the inventory so I am gonna try that instead. I have 3 golden ones that simply refuse to age. I even re-enabled aging animals to no avail.

I also noticed that when you disable aging and put a coop in the household inventory, a weird debug item with a cross icon gets put in there too and it costs 10 simoleons.

Note to self for next the sims 4 dlc:

- buy it for the preorer bonuses

- play it a year later

still no luck aging chicks, did anyone else find another workaround? I have 3 golden chicks and a regular one and an entire season passed.
If I enabled animal aging and kept giving all the other animals wellness treats,will they stay their current age?

So I managed to get a golden and evil chicks. I had the animal aging option turned off hoping I can age them up with cheat like I do with my sims but not sure why this option is not available

Anyway, after turning the aging back on after a while my golden chick finally grew up (which kinda took long I guess but not 100% sure) but my evil chick just stays the same. It's been over 3 sim weeks and still nothing. I use a lot of mods but the issue is the same with mods off and a clean new save.

@Memodee Thank you! That worked for me.

Unfortunately putting chicks in the inventory and even travelling did nothing. I indeed have aging off, so I'll try to switch to on and putting them into household inventory, but I lost hope at this point

Edit: turned aging on, put chicks in household inventory as well as in sims' inventory then back in world, played 3 sim days and they did not age up.
