Help, one of my sims isn't aging
AnnaM:
One of my sims is stuck on the first day of Adult age ("Becomes an Elder in 29 days). Everybody else in the same house ages normally. This really became quite obvious when her 2 sons came back from college and they immediately showed as older than she was (higher up in the tree on the left).
I know that this is a Maxis sim that became playable (married one of my sims); she was almost certainly a college student and I <i>might</i> have aged her by using the cheat Ctrl-click menu, but since she has a diploma hanging on her wall I think I just made her playable and played her through Uni. (Sorry, this was all a long time ago and my memory is crap.) I really don't think she was a cheerleader though, I had made that mistake in a previous game and regretted it, I'm pretty sure she was simply a dormie.
Basically I'm asking if anybody else has had the same problem and/or knows how to get her aging normally... (I could advance her to Elder by the same Ctrl-click method, but I'd rather have her aging instead.)

They only time I had a problem similar to that was when I tried to use a house built in the University subneighborhood as a main neighborhood house. The Sim who originally moved in stopped aging, but her husband, who married in a few days later, aged fine. When she switched places with him on the tree was when I noticed she wasn't aging. Moving them into another house (built in the main neighborhood) solved the problem.
syberspunk:
Have you tried:
1) Forcing an error on her and resetting?
2) Forcing an error on her and deleting? (She should come back to the household eventually. If not right away, then save, quit, and re-enter).
3) Having her Move Out on her own into the sim bin, and then recombining her back into the household?
4) Moving the entire family out of the house into the simbin and then moving them back (or onto a new lot altogether)?
Sometimes sim data just gets borked. Reseting or deleting them out can fix things (but not always). Invisible objects like the various controllers that get spawned on lots can also get borked. So moving sims out and back or to a new household can reset/respawn or spawn new non-borked controllers.

AnnaM:
Tried forcing error and resetting. Will try the other ways if this doesn't work, thanks. Of course this will take a while, since I can only know if it's worked next time the day changes....

That'd be funny if it happened, a sim that mysteriously doesn't age and lives forever.
