I have a whole aging system with MCCC lol a trip around the calendar is the equivalent of one year and each season is 2 weeks but this is how i set my aging with MCCC> Newborns: 1 month (7 sim days), Infants: 1 year (56 sim days), Todders: 2 years(112 sim days), Children: 4 years(224 sim days), Teens: 4 years(224 sim days), Yong Adults: 10 years(560 days), Adults: 10 years(560 days), and elderly: 5 years(280 days)... yea i know im extreme and very technical but this is the only formula that allows for a full life gameplay with the amount of time it takes t do things i the sims while at the same time, not too dragged out to where it gets stale with nothing to do because the adults can always have kids who also have kids and young adults can live their life for 5 years before deciding to have their own kids so its amazing to see and play and get time to play friends families and different generations

Quick note to everyone: unless your aging is OFF for all sims- make sure you don’t use the cas age-up! The length of the bar carries on, so if they were in the later stages of adulthood, they would now be in the later stages of elderhood and die faster.

I typycally play with aging off or on Long lifespan too, and I usually play with seasons set to the longest setting. I it that way so that my sims have more time to experience each of the seasons as well as the holidays I set up without it feeling like there's a ton to do back-to-back everyday. Also, I just always find myself getting anxious and feeling like I'm running out of time if I play on Normal or Short 😅

Idc if I’ve been simming for more than half of my life, I love videos like this. 😂 I wish the age settings were different, I feel like none of the options ever felt right, some stages felt like they needed to be longer, others shorter. I adjust all ages with mccc, bc I like for families I don’t interact with to keep aging and having kids so if my sim ever ends up with one one them, I can look at their family tree and be like, “wow this is Eliza and Bob’s great great granddaughter”, or whatever. 😅 I've just always loved that! I would LOVE a video(s) on different life stages and planning unique events for them. I’ve started a list of things I can plan with different life stages like field days for kids/teens, senior day for high school/Uni, grad party, field trips (idk how those work yet), quinceañeras without aging the sim up. Those are the moments I enjoy most with sims!

So many great tips here, never considered using calander events to create birthday parties. Also love the LittleMissSam mod reccomendation, going to definetly implement all this when I start playing again (after the infant update, of course).

I don't know what compelled me to turn off aging, but it was around two years ago. And honestly that's what made the Sims 4 more playable for me. Before that I was a die hard Sims 3 fan (I still am.) I used to play a lot more chaotically and would often get bored really quickly. I might have had a few favorite sims, but that was rare. Now I've been playing with the same save for like three years... I'm only on generation three, but that is besides the point! I'm able to flesh out these sims lives, develop skills, relationships, maybe change jobs or general paths in life. It also allows me to play with ages a bit more. For example, when my sims first age up into teens I play that as if they are preteens in a sense. They have an awkward stage. Their hair and make and clothes are kinda dorky and their rooms are still very reminiscent of when they were children. But when time moves on their room will age with them. Maybe toys will be replaced with makeup and their clothes are a bit more intentional. I'm attached and so are my friends! I'm able to experiment with a lot of areas in the game that I didn't before. I actually tried playing with a different household with aging on and I was so overwhelmed! I had so little time to do anything and it felt so wrong.

I still use your calendar guide videos to make new holidays for all my save games! That school holiday mod you showed is so useful! But I've been out of the sims scene for a while now (you know how we all play this game in cycles...) and I didn't know they did something to the aging options! I usually play with aging off, unless I'm doing a rotation or a legacy -type play where it's more about the generations than individual sims. But i turn the aging on when I want to age up kids and then turn it back off when they have had their birthday. That way everyone still ages a bit and it feels like time is advancing anyway.

I've been dreading aging up their friends in CAS, so you're basically my hero :) I may turn on aging once I'm ready to move forward just so the random townies they've met throughout their lives age up too. Either way, this was so informative! Thanks for sharing

I've only been playing sims 4 for a few months but I found that the way I like to have my sims "age up" would be to make alternation saves of a family during a specific period in their life. I would have one save profile based in the past and the other being in the present that way it feels like I'm playing though a flashback. I found that method to be a lot of fun since it feels almost as if anything that would happen in the past would shape the present. I don't have auto aging turned on though because it made the game feel too rushed for me.

I used to handle aging similarly to how you showed in this video. I do things a little different now and it's works really well for me. Mainly because I got really into customising the calender and different holidays and events. So when I feel its getting close to the time sims should age up, I'll turn aging back on for everybody, but set it to 'short'. That way I only have a few days until everyone ages up, but on different days so that I can plan parties and events for them. This also causes the world to gradually age up between around a 2 week period so I don't need to go manually do it for everyone. Then as soon as the last sim I care about has had their birthday, I'll turn aging off again. This has been working pretty well for me so I thought I'd share. Thanks for the video, I love watching videos where you go into how you organise your game.

I've always enjoyed playing on "long" because it gives me more time to focus on goals and skill building :) plus I always make each season 28 days so you get the most out of your harvest! With MC command center I would make pregnancies 7 days instead of 3 :) to make them feel a bit more real, and I liked how the newborns stayed newborns for about 1 week instead of 2 days. I'm just more leisurely like that and hate the rushed feeling of "normal" lifespan. I know with the update coming on the 14th they've adjusted lifespans again, so I haven't played on "long" for a while and am avoiding tweaking it until I see if this update is gonna break ages again lol. Let's hope not!!!

I don’t use aging either…ever since they didn’t add the Epic Lifespan (my favorite lifespan to use) in TS4, I would leave aging off and only age up for certain milestones…or when I figured that it was time to age up, though none of my sims have made it to elder before. I will usually get bored and play with a different family.

I can only play with long lifespan myself. And if I have a sim die due to an accident I see it as a fun challenge to bring them back to life. Or if I want to keep a sim young I love working towards fulfilling whims/wishes to get a potion of youth. Also I don't mind playing with ghosts-but then never had one die by fire. (Heard those kind can set off fires, yikes.) I like a bit of drama. I currently have this very cheerful sim who told a joke to a bunny and then dropped dead when she became hysterical before I could get her to a mirror to calm down. I learned something valuable from from that. Beware, bunnies can be deadly in more than one way to cheerful sims. I had a good laugh over her dying from basically cuteness overload. Luckily, she was not living alone so now I have her boyfriend add her back to the houshold and he's now working hard on becoming a powerful spellcaster to bring her back to life so they can continue theirs together.

As soon as I get Seasons, I'm turning aging off. Part of the fun of birthdays in my family is that certain seasonal things happen around the same time--I was born in the spring, so when I was little my mom would take birthday pictures of me framed by blooming daffodils. But the Seasons calendar in the Sims doesn't line up with birthdays no matter what lifespan setting you use or how much fiddling you do with custom season lengths, since not every lifestage lasts the same amount of time. And even if you did manage to line it up, a Sim could get pregnant and push their next birthday ahead a few days. A baby born on Winterfest might have their next birthday in the summertime. A toddler celebrating New Year's might be a teen by the next midnight countdown. I don't think I'll try and make them last as many in-game years as someone would IRL because that would get boring and make legacy challenges take way too long, but I'm thinking at least one in-game year per lifestage, maybe more for Adults and Elders because those stages last longer IRL.

I make sure that no one ages in my game. I make all the Sims be "immortal" in mine since it makes me happy & I don't see anyone die. I also will continue to keep Neighborhood Stories off so everything stays the way that I want it to be.

I love to create stories with all my sims I don't like to miss anything, that's why I play in long lifespan or aging off. But sometimes when I want everyone to grow at the same time I leave it in normal for a few days.

Same here. I turn my aging off and only age up when I feel they are ready. Usually I'd play with the long setting - but I have too many families and I feel like I'd only be able to spend a little bit of time with each family that the next time I see them they've aged up. I love taking my time with each family :)

I don’t use mods, because I play on PS5, but I could go into households and age up my sims friends. Lately I’ve been playing an entire neighborhood and have had the game on normal. I find the sims age up way to fast though and I sometimes have a hard time keeping up 😂 Great video!

Same, I always play the game with auto age turned off. I age up individual sims when I feel the time is right. I also play with one save file and connect the different families' story lines. I can create very realistic and in-depth stories that way. I love it!!!

I’m curious how you deal with the sims’ skills getting potentially maxed out or them getting to a super high level in their careers.. I love long lifespans but it gets unrealistic with how much money they start to get or skills when they’re still a young adult :/

I’m going to start playing on long lifespan. I feel like playing on normal I’m always on go go go mode. I feel like I’m obligated to do certain things before they age up. It doesn’t give me time to get to know my sims, develop their personalities and interests, and see their relationships grow slowly.

I age my whole world manually. I've been rotating for almost two years and I just need 3 more households to finally go back to everyone again and play with their new life stage. I have a notebook where I divide sims into generations so I remember who is supposed to be the same age. (Now I'm having a bit of a challenge deciding how to consider the infant update in my list xD)

I turn aging off on personal gameplay and my machinima save. I prefer having the freedom to story tell with those saves. Most of my other saves are challenge based and I have a lifespan restriction if I choose to follow the rules as written. I get attached to my sims too easily. I actually cried when my original 100 baby challenge matriarch passed away.

Another way (with mods) : Switch back and forth between Normal and Long lifespan. Especially for university. I also make Adults and Elders life longer with MCC and give them more days with UI Cheats if necessary.

I really love the idea with the birthdays in the calender. Maybe i will do this with my own gameplay. For me i use MCCC to expand the lifespan. I counted the days for one sim year, which is 4 times 28 days and then i take some reasonable years for my sims. For example: 3 years for baby, 3 years for toddler, 7 years for child, 7 years for teenager, 10-15 years young adult etc. Its about a few thousand days for one sim lifespan. XD

I have a similar problem with not wanting my sims to age up so what i do is switch between off and on. I play with aging off for a while and then switch it back on when I start wanting them to age up and that way everyone (unplayed sims also) ages up at the same time but only when I am ready . If I decide that I don’t want them to age up at that exact time I turn it back off again For ex, I play with aging off and then I want my infant to age up (as well as other infants) so I turn it back on and when the infant ages up I turn aging back off and enjoy playing with them as toddlers.

sometimes, when i wanna micromanage my sims ages and also make the whole town kinda grow, i use mods too. one is, a mod that lets you have more people in a club, and the let friends age up mod. that way, for example if i wanna age up a huge number of young adults that my sim is friends with, i can filter the young adults in the club requirement, add them to the club then age them all up. that way, all young adults that I CHOOSE will grow to an adult.. it feels like the world is moving and growing

I keep aging off too. I also turn off autonomy for played Sims and Neighborhood Stories as well. I want to be the one shaping their stories, deciding when they age up, who they marry, where they live. It's my dollhouse and I don't want the AI or autonomous gameplay systems ruining that. If they shift to much in body composition, I go into CAS and restore them to where I put them in the first place. I manipulate baby genders with food and music. I always say No when called asking about an NPC wanting to date or have babies because I might have other plans for them later. The system doesn't write my script. I do.

By using McCmd and using the "normal" lifespan setting, I can set the length of each lifestage. I like to use a realistic time frame so if I decide that 5 in-game days is equivalent to one real life year, I'll set the length for children to 40 days. I consider a child Sim to be between the ages of 5 to 12 which is 8 years. So 8 years X 5 days/year is 40. I use this same analysis for each age group except for newborns to which I arbitrarily assign 2 days. I'm currently using 7 days/year, so an infant's lifestage will last for 14 days since I think of an infant as being between 0-24 months which is 2 years. I would probably arbitrarily assign a different length to the infant lifespan if I were playing with just 2 or 3 days per year just to have a chance to see the infant fully develop. I also rotate between different families, so every in-game week, I switch to a different household. I set aging on for the current family only and when I reach the last household in the rotation, I also turn on aging for unplayed Sims for that one week.

Maybe I should do this. I've played with short, normal and long and none of them feel right. Long feels like I'm skipping days, waiting to age up, normal feels way too long for some stages and too short for other, and in short Sims will only see one or two rounds of seasons in their lives!

I've mostly been playing with mccc mod so I just customize my own lifespans for each life stage. Because normal is too short but I think long is too long. The lifespans I set place them long enough that I can reach the goals that I want with them but short enough that I don't get tired of them. However because of the infant update I recently took mccc out because I don't want wreck my game. Once mccc is updated for the new update, then I'm adding it back in pronto. For now I'll just be playing on long.

You don't need to use CAS to age up a cat or dog. Just buy or make an Age Up Treat. They can be bought from the vending machine in the Vet Clinic lobby in Brindleton Bay, or made with mid-level Veterinarian Skill on the Dr. Magi-Heal machine. You also don't need a mod to age up NPCs. Just invite them over and select to age them up on a birthday cake. It's usually under "More Choices" and the option only appears when they're on the lot.
