I'm going to mark this issue as solved as it's related to MCCC

Please head over to MCCC Discord/Page on updates on what to do. I personally don't use the mod and can't help you with it.

@jsophiak Have to say I did not check the calendar at but could your issue be related to this: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-Long-Life-Span-Sims-have-days-added-on-entering-live-mode... ?

Maybe.... I didn't have any age up, but I didn't even play for one sim day because I was not about to have all my sims age up and/or die in a file that I've been playing in for over 4 years.

@jsophiak Going to leave this separate for now but it's def worth double checking if this is solved once they fixed the aging.

I usually play on long lifespan because normal feels weirdly short. I went to check out the new update, but suddenly all sims in the save file I opened now have a normal-length lifespan (checked via updated MCCC). I went to see if my settings had changed, and they did not. I set it to short to try and figure out what was going on. It still didn't change. I had my sim drink a Potion of Youth, and it went from 13 days left to 24 days left, so that didn't fix it. Does anyone else have this problem, or am I just having terrible luck with bugs again? (Edit: This might also be connected to the "sims randomly age up" bug for long lifespan as well, but that's just a hunch.)

[jsophiak]

I do want to clarify, because I saw one of the game changers post a YouTube video about the aging issue, and mine seems to be different from what they stated (which was that the game added days to their lifespan forcing them to age up). Mine literally seemed to be using the number of days for either short or average lifespan instead of long even though my settings were set to long. How I know: the age bar said 9 days to aging up but was still near the center of my teen sim's age bar, but I know that prior to the patch her age bar had over 30 days left out of the 54 or so that are allotted to teens on long lifespan. It's not adding days so much as the system isn't recognizing the setting for long lifespan and is assigning a different lifespan setting.

@jsophiak OK. Thanks.

Maybe there's more going on. You don't have the aging jumping at all on long even when you go to CAS ?

I need to check some more stuff in the morning. Need to call it a night now.

[jsophiak]

It might have jumped by a couple days since having 30-something days out of 54 would be about 1/3 of the age bar and 9 out of - I'm guessing - 14 is slightly over half. I didn't check age before entering CAS so I can't verify that that is what caused the difference.

I completely understand! Have a great night and thank you for all your help!

@AshVHD I merged your post with another that sounds like the same issue.

I wouldn't set it to long though as that is pretty broken atm.

I need to look into this further.
