Short version: Stop changing their birth date and you won't have that problem.View attachment 3206573
Why does this keep happening...
Every time, I have to manually modify the offspring's birth date in the saves to the year they were actually born in (in the case of the screenshot, 2026.)
This is version 0.4.9_95, btw.
It is happening because you are manually changing the birth date of the characters.
All characters start out at the age of 18 when they are born. It is 'game lore magic', since no under age characters are allowed in the game.
Here is an example from one of the offspring in one of my saves, I highlighted the important part in case you missed it:
She was born on the 18th March 2026, which, due to the fact that everyone in this world starts out as being 18 from the date of their birth, makes her eighteen years old. Only 2 months have passed in the game, so she is the correct age.
So, when you manually go into the save file and change their birthday to 'match their age', you are actually aging them more. In your example, the offspring was 'born' in 2007, so, they were automatically 18 years old ... in 2007.
The game then calculates their age, based on the current date, which in your example appears to be 2026 or 2027.
So, 18+(2026-2007) = 37.
Since it says she is now 38, I am guessing that a full year has passed in your game since she was born, which makes her the ripe old age of 38.
