My sims are aging but the townies aren't? (and more!)

[pugster101]

I'm afraid that my Life States dynasty is in jeopardy. So, I didn't know anything about Moonlight Falls until I started, so when my 4th gen married Samuel Goth, I thought that he wasn't an original townie. But it turns out that he isn't, and with his elder bar maxed and 3 weeks later, he is still "alive" (he is a ghost.) Also, I recall the other dynasty spouses having ages stuck, but the heirs never got stuck. Now, every townie originally made is still alive, and the ghosts haven't returned to the netherworld. I play with no mods (of course) and aging is enabled. What should I do?

Oh god, things just got worse. I was playing and all at the same time, the a group of 5 elders sims dropped dead, who were at the park my founder was visiting. Later, I got a phone call saying that all of her elder friends and acquaintances have died? Then my game became glitchy and the items had the wrong interactions (ex. when I clicked on the couch it had tv options, etc.) and later it crashed (I did NOT save, so the glitches were technically undone.) I'm really sure I'll have to do a reinstall, but I'm waiting to see if the file's corrupted or if it's my game.

Because this is a specific Dynasty file, I think you should present the problem to the Challenge Team on the main Life States Dynasty thread.  You'll get help there and also a ruling from the team about what you should do for the challenge.  Here's the thread.
