Steps to Reproduce:
Play the game for a while. Then check the maps and the families.
You will see many family icons, some might look like a newborn/toddler
Click that one from the map view and you will see they are in high-school or something
Now the answer we got earlier (See below) was that there is a “slight delay” for the icons to update.
I mean, okay why not ? But from newborn to high-school graduate (so young adult) that’s like 40 days in-game.
I feel the “slight delay” is a bit… stretched. Wouldn’t you guys agree ?
So far the only way I’ve found to force an update is to go and change the zoi’s appearance.
So I reopen this (minor) bug report.
Thank you !

Hi everyone ( at here ),
We’ve reviewed the issue and confirmed that a short delay in the update may occur.
If it still doesn’t update, please feel free to report it again.

Totally agree. The bug report you filed back then wasn’t about “a short delay” because, as we’ve discussed with various users, the only workaround is to go into CAZ, then save. Without doing that, the portraits remain old / stuck. In fact, I even noticed one NPC who still had the toddler portrait even though he was already a young adult.
I still have this issue. I play all families in Dowon rotationally. There are 3 (maybe 4?) zois whose portraits are stuck as toddlers.
What I did notice is that I happened to be on a toddler at the moment they aged up, and the portrait updated. As far as the others, editing in CAZ does not resolve the issue and so far, unless I am actively playing the zoi, the portrait does not update.
Yes, this bug is still happening in all of my 4 save files too. NPCs’ portraits don’t update after birthdays very frequently lately. We can use the workaround if they’re a family residing in the city, but otherwise the portraits remain bugged.
I’ve had this problem when employing people for Big Buns. In the picture, they’re a young adult, but when they turn up for work, they’re past retirement age. They shuffle around slowly, not getting much done, costing my zoi money.
Hi @Sadgirl 
I’ve merged your topic into the main thread about Portraits no longer updating when Zoi ages up, so all related information stays together. Thank you for your understanding! 
This also happens when you use a cheat to alter the appearance of any Zoi. The portrait updates at first, but when you reload the save, the old portrait is back (you have to go back to CAZ and confirm the appearance again for a portrait update).
I currently have this issue on my save with the latest update.
Yeah that was never fixed as far as I know.
I made the original post in January, so it’s been 6 months.
I hope they manage to fix this.
It’s a very small bug with zero game-breaking issue (everything still work as it should).
But it can make it difficult to navigate though families and find the zoi you are looking for, thus wasting our time.
Here’s to hoping.
