Why are my townies not aging up Sims 4?
As a Sims 4 player, you may have noticed that your townies, also known as non-playable Sims, are not aging up as expected. This can be frustrating, especially if you’re trying to create a realistic and dynamic Sim community. In this article, we’ll explore the reasons why your townies may not be aging up and provide some solutions to get them back on track.
Auto-Aging Setting
One of the most common reasons why townies may not be aging up is that the auto-aging setting is turned off. By default, the auto-aging setting is turned off for non-played Sims, including townies. This means that you need to manually age them up using the "Modify in CAS" option. To check if the auto-aging setting is turned on, go to the "Game Options" menu and select "Other" > "Gameplay" > "Sim Aging". If it’s turned off, toggle the switch to turn it on.
Manual Aging
If you want to manually age up your townies, you can do so by using the "Modify in CAS" option. To access this option, select the Sim you want to age up and click on the "Modify" button. Then, select "CAS" and click on the "Age" tab. From there, you can choose the desired age for your Sim.
Aging Bug
Unfortunately, there have been instances where a bug has caused townies to not age up at all. This bug is usually caused by a glitch in the game’s code and can be fixed by restarting the game or reinstalling the game. If you’re experiencing this issue, try restarting the game or reinstalling it to see if it resolves the problem.
Other Possible Causes
There are a few other possible causes why your townies may not be aging up. These include:
- Lack of interaction: If your townies are not interacting with other Sims, they may not be aging up. Try moving them to a different lot or interacting with other Sims to see if that resolves the issue.
- Low life expectancy: If your townies have a low life expectancy, they may not be aging up. Try increasing their life expectancy by using the "Modify in CAS" option.
- Pregnancy: If a townie is pregnant, they may not be aging up until the baby is born. Try waiting for the baby to be born to see if that resolves the issue.
Troubleshooting Tips
If you’re still experiencing issues with your townies not aging up, here are some troubleshooting tips to try:
- Check the game’s settings: Make sure that the auto-aging setting is turned on and that the game is set to the correct age range.
- Check for updates: Make sure that your game is up to date and that there are no updates available.
- Try restarting the game: Sometimes, restarting the game can resolve the issue.
- Try reinstalling the game: If none of the above solutions work, try reinstalling the game to see if that resolves the issue.
Conclusion
In conclusion, there are several reasons why your townies may not be aging up in Sims 4. By checking the auto-aging setting, manually aging them up, and troubleshooting any issues, you should be able to get your townies back on track.
