Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. Yes, since the 07/26/22 update
I can only find reports that this bug was fixed with a previous patch, but it seems with today's (7/26/22) update it is back. After using CAS in-game, Sims that are off the lot come back and immediately age up. It does not seem to affect sims that are still on the lot when their appearance is being changed. I am playing on the "long" lifespan option and have most add-ons to the game. I am guessing it has something to do with today's update.
Update: It is not just for Sims that are off the lot, it has also happened with sims on the lot as well.
Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title a bit
CM Edit: Added BR Template.

Sims with a short or long Lifespan no longer become younger or age dramatically when leaving Create a Sim.
Fixed in Patch 1.90.375/1.62
Now, I did a very short test and my long lifespan game was fine. No aging up after cas/travelling/reloading
I know there have been a lot of statements and maybe some other issues mixed in here during the past week. It was crazy busy and they all did sound the same.
So what I mean to say: If you see issues still with aging on a vanilla game, just go ahead and make a new thread.
Please describe your issue in details and not just something along the lines of: It's not fixed. I still have it
Thanks all.
Good Luck

The bug template is currently working on/off but it helps if you are not prompted for the template while editing, please answer the questions anyways.
Going to use this post to post a little re-cap of what I found testing

After newest update, I open up my game and automatically have every Sim trying to age up at the same exact time. It was fixed temporarily by restarting but then I reloaded the save again and it did the exact same thing, even though all the Sims are far from aging up normally. It's really frustrating and I get scared because I have an elder and this bug will kill them if I don't exit out. It's not just if opening CAS, but my first encounter was after doing so. But now even just loading it normal has this issue.
I posted on TS4 reddit and other people said they also are experiencing this bug

Hello !
I'm having a big issue with the Sims 4 since the last patch (July 26th, 2022): when in game I go into CAS (either from the favourites panel, or a dresser / mirror) to modify my Sim (either change, or modify outfits only) and once back in live mode, my Sims gain so many days! And sometimes even age up because they have become really old apparently from going into CAS!
I repaired my game, started in a fresh save without any mods, and it still happens!
What else is there to do?!

What happens when the bug occurs? all sims in the household, even those not on the lot, age up immediately, despite having many days left in that age bracket

How often does the bug occur? Always
What is your current game version number? up to date
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All EP, SP, GP. Only kit is Bust the Dust and Camping.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Playtest your updates before releasing them.
What happens when the bug occurs? After returning from CAS all sims in my household age up, including elders which triggers death.
What do you expect to see? My sims to remain the age they were when we entered CAS.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? No
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes, today's update.
This is an unavoidable glitch for me because my sims were randomized with sexualities incompatible with their PRE-EXISTING RELATIONSHIPS. I cannot play the game without accessing CAS because they cannot speak to their spouses, fiancé, or dates.

This is insane. When my Sim was loaded, his age bar showed up full. I do have mods and I did disable aging in the process of making my sims. Is this a mod issue? And he just became an adult. I don't know why!
July 2022
I merged some threads.
Also need some data
What age span are you all playing on ?
Thanks
