My sims won’t age

[kaythamonster]

My sims don’t age. I removed all cc and mods and repaired the game via  Origin but my sims age bar is filled but no days to age up no matter how long I play with them. Please help

Enter the options of the game "gameplay" - you can enter this option only when you play - and check what are the settings of aging sims.
If it's set up correctly there, then do the factory reset the game folder.
Step 1. Rename The Sims4 folder to "The Sims4 old"
Step 2. Fix the game in Origin
Origin/Library - right click on TS4 - option "Repair game"
You have to wait until Origin will fix all packs, not only the base game.
Step 3. Turn on the game - a new game folder will be created and you will have two - one old, one new
Step 4. Check if you still have this problem in the newly created game folder. Start a new game with the random sim and play one sim day to see if he will be aging.
If the problem disappeared
Step 5. Delete in the new game folder following folders:
"saves" and Tray.
Step 6. Go to "The Sims 4 old" folder and copy - your "saves " folder.
Step. 7, Paste this folder in a newly created game folder.
Step 8. Do the same with Tray folder and TrayDeleteItems file. Then turn on the game and check if your old save is without this error.
Now you can check if there are a new updates versions mods and CC you are using.
Step 9. Copy and paste your mods and CC from old mods folder to the new one. First copy the scripts mods every time checking if the game is working properly. If you have a lot of CC try 50/50 method ( divide your CC into smaller batches for example 50 pieces in one subfolder and check these subfolders one by one)
Step. 10. If all is OK - delete The Sims4 old folder. Now you will have only one game folder working properly.

I’ve done that I was giving those instructions on reddit. I’m wondering if I need to uninstall and reinstall the game it’s not working I don’t understand why

edit: I make new sims and still the bar is filled but when hovering over it says nothing but no matter how long I play with them they don’t age. I’ve deleted all my saves and made new one still not working

If you had MCC mod and set the sims "no aging", although you removed this mod this option could have been preserved on them. If this is the case, it's easy to change. Put the mod back into the game and click on each sim - "remove the marks"
However, if the mod is not the cause of this error then you can change the age settings several times in the game options. Maybe it will unblock it. If not - reinstall the game. Move your whole game folder to the desktop before reinstalling to keep your saves and library. Then you can try to paste it in the new game folder to see if it will work properly. But there is an option this old saves folder cannot be repaired.
