I have run into an issue with two of my families. They are, in essence, no longer experiencing game events. Both individuals are in their mid-to-late 30s and have yet to receive a marriage proposal.

To be clear, it isn't as if they received one and it was rejected so I have to wait for the next one - they have not received one at ALL at age 35 and 38, respectively. The "New Generation" bar is also still highlighted under the Family tab as if I never moved to the next generation.

I've been playing with these families since the game was released, so a lot of time has been spent on them from generation to generation. I'd hate to lose them due to a runtime error because I've taken so long to obtain all of the trophies.

Is there anything I can do?
