The major new update for The Sims 4 brought us the highly anticipated High School Years<\/a> pack, but it also unleashed a swarm of unexpectedly odd bugs into the game. And that\u2019s putting it politely.<\/p>\n No amount of The Sims 4 cheats<\/a> can save you from these new glitches and errors (and fantasising about The Sims 5 release date<\/a> won\u2019t do much to help either), but the developers have stepped in and issued a warning that should help players avoid the worst of it.<\/p>\n So, what exactly has happened? Well, there are two new Sims 4 bugs that seem to be getting a lot of attention right now \u2014 one is affecting the ages of Sims, and the other is making Sims want to have relationships with their relatives. Dark times indeed.<\/p>\n As for the ageing glitch, you may have already noticed that there\u2019s a bug that is capable of auto-ageing Sims (specifically in saves that use the Short or Long lifespans). This glitch can result in older Sims dying before you want them to, which nobody wants!<\/p> With regards to these age-related issues, The Sims 4 developers from EA shared the following warning on Twitter, advising players to start new saves and stick to the \u2018Normal\u2019 lifespan<\/strong> setting (as opposed to the Short or Long options). This should be a workaround that saves your Sims from premature deaths\/unwanted ageing while EA works on a fix.<\/p>\n Hey 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.<\/p>\u2014 The Sims (@TheSims) July 27, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote>
