This issue only occurred, like, last night. My game is outdated, but I repaired the game to see if it was something in my mods folder that needed to be fixed. The only thing that changed was the main menu layout. I removed any recent mods that I had installed and put them in a different folder, specifically an UI mod, but the problem is still there. It's not an issue when it's not a goaled event, but when it is, the "timer" doesn't begin a countdown and plus it's fully green as if I finished all my tasks and the timer went out. It does it for that save regardless or not that I've switched to a different family. For some other events, mod or not, it'll work, but whenever I try and celebrate having a birthday party, this bug continues wherever I am.
Granted, I can still tick off goals and have a successful event when I cancel on the clock icon, but the timer doesn't work, so it's just a distraction whenever I see it.
I could take out the most recent selection of mods, then update my game, but what if the issue still occurs? Because I would test this out on different sim days and on certain hours, but the issue would still remain, which is annoying.

HI @0213962012
Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199
You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files and make a backup.
After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.
Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.
The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.
Good Luck
