\u201cHey Simmers! We are currently investigating instances involving Sims auto-aging up in saves using the Short or Long lifespan. We recommend temporarily playing in or creating new saves with the default/\u201cnormal\u201d lifespan, as we work towards a solution.\u201d

\u201cWe've completed our investigation into various instances stemming from Tuesday's update including auto-aging, unintended Wants, & the appearance of fame for the non-famous. We'll be rolling out a patch to resolve these & more by the end of next week and appreciate your patience.\u201d

\u201cwith everyone arguing over how the sims 4 works lately, i'd just like to kindly remind you all that the sims 4 plus all the DLC is nearly $1k. \n\nif you paid $1k towards a game that you love i think it's a pretty reasonable want for it work the way it should. \n\nperiod \ud83d\ude43\u201d

\u201cI don't get why some simmers think people shouldn't complain about a game that they paid for. The Sims 4 dlc isn't cheap and people are justified in their anger when it is awful or had game breaking bugs.\u201d
