Lifespan editing messes up some sims

[Junan]

I've noticed this when switching between the types of lifespan, those being the likes of Short, Medium, Normal, Long and Epic. Upon switch, the new lifespan has the sim take the % mark of the lifespan that they were on.

As an example, I have a sim on Long which has 90 days for Adulthood to Elder. He is 32 days before Elder and if I switch to Epic and put it on 160 days, I find that he has 0 days until he becomes an Elder and ages up the next day. Is this avoidable?

I don't know if it is avoidable or not, but you can reverse his age w/NRAAS Master Controller. I believe it's NRAAS/MC/Sim/Intermediate/Age Absolute and then the number of days you want him to have been in that age group.

switching lifespan during same game can become buggy i will not recommend it as there is quite a risk to corrupt your game.

I would limit myself to game mechanism like potion, ambrosia...

Is a sim prematurely aging (as in, several days into a life stage they just aged up to) a byproduct of said corruption? 'Cause this has happened several times; two boys, both are cousins, were born a few hours apart but one is already 18 days older than the other (the length of the baby stage is set to 21 days).

well i play a full town with nraas mods through generations and this never happened so i would go on corruption (my opinion)

OK, now I may be hinging on agreement; just now, I used a cheat to prematurely age Solomon Goth (I think 5th or 6th generation down from Mortimer Goth) and he aged to a toddler as nothing more than floating hair? The "Edit Sim in CAS" cheat option isn't present on him either.

Definitely something wrong now. (EDIT: A Dresser's Plan Outfit interaction fixed it. Don't know how it happened though)

EDIT 2: Same thing happened with a newborn named Nathan Redfield (funnily, his brothers Aiden and William were fine) but this time he was completely invisible and had to use Plan Outfit to see his body, Change Apperance to see his hair and then "Edit Sim in Create a Sim" to age him up and down back to toddler to see his face. Quite an odd occurrence.

Sometimes it happens with broken custom content too (floating hair)

What you're describing does sound like broken cc. The hair b/c it was not designed for a toddler and also the clothing. I have had townies that I had to edit to change their outfits to be able to see them.

I don't download CC, so I don't know how people come to that conclusion.

Ok fine. Anyway your save looks to be broken. Sometimes nraas mods like overwatch can auto repair them.
At this point, you can go back to an older save not broken, or start the full procedure of edit town, save/load back your households and lots in a new game with the prize of losing relationships.
