23rd Oct 2010, 06:31 PM	Aging Question #1
Chrisha26 Original Poster Test Subject Join Date: Sep 2010 Posts: 1	Okay, I apologize if this has been asked before... I have searched this site as well as Google and the official forums for an answer to my question and I'm still stumped. Can someone tell me how to set aging on in my active household, but off in the rest of the neighborhood? I've read things about different mods doing this, but all the info I saw seemed pretty old. This difference in aging from the Sims 2 is really making me NOT enjoy the Sims 3, so any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!

AwesomeMod has TS2-style aging. Alternatively, you can use this mod, suspend the aging of all sims with it and then re-enable the aging for the active household.

Story progression is unrelated to aging.

There is an option in Awesomemod to edit the sim in CAS, where you can set the age to the previous stage, but it keeps trying to get back to the old one. Sorry.
