Started yesterday with one zoi where she was unable to give birth and I tried everything before I just deleted the pregnancy with a cheat. And now majority of my zoi’s aren’t aging up and stuck.

I had problems with the pregnancy too. In my case it just disappeared in my new save state. If I’m trying to load an old one my ZOIs are suddenly aged. It’s really sad.
Okay. The main problem is that my Zoi’s won’t age or die. I’ve tried deleting my mods folder entirely, “rescuing” the zoi’s, etc… The only thing that fixes it is if I take the household to a new city. But, every NPC back in town is stuck at a certain age and still no one will die…
Same here, I have a young adult that will not age to adult and a child that will not age to adolescent, even after 10 days. The city around me seems to not age either.
Same here none of my Zoi’s living in the household are aging, but when i moved one of them out and played them, the newborns aged up so i checked the option’s sure enough it was unchecked to age up. I checked so they would age up, but they have not, i did have a realistic aging mod but it was broken so i removed it. but for now no played families have aged
Okay, so I uninstalled my game and reinstalled. Made a new game, thought it might be fixed because one of the two senior zoi’s died while I was in a different household. But then I noticed later the game deleted the household from the lot. They were in the neighborhood but I couldn’t move them back in. So I had to go back to a later save… I continue on and I’m playing in a different lot when I noticed it happened again but luckily I had just saved so I went back to the old save (from 5 minutes ago) and played the original senior household. Then, all the sudden everyone in the house got really depressed because someone died but in reality no one actually died… The babies seem to be aging up, not sure if adults/teens can age up yet since it hasn’t been that long. Overall, I feel like I just have a life cycle bug. I’m new to the game and before this I didn’t have many mods, mostly just clothing. Bummed because the game doesn’t feel playable with this bug
Hi @here,
In case of a Zoi not aging, could you please check if the Zoi still doesn’t age even after sleeping in a bed?
Also, please share the full list of mods you currently have installed.
In my case, whenever i try to have a baby the interaction does not appear, i would love to know if it is because my married zois have to do something else or what is the issue
Hi @meganmclean08,
After birth, it takes some time before a Zoi begins to age.
Could you please check if the Zoi is still in the newborn state even after 4 in-game days, and let us know?
