Some sims don't age

[_Krishna_]

Hi everyone. I have a problem with some lots in the Strangetown. When it is 18.00 some sims on the lot don't age. It can be that the whole family doesn't age or only some of them don't. It only happens in Strangetown, other neighbourhoods are fine. And only on a few lots. Other lots are fine. What can it be? I've got hacks installed, but I think they would affect all lots and neighbourhoods. Help plz

Are u sure those sims are due to age that day? In the past i liked to increase the number of days some sim stays adult or child... with SimPE. I would put different number of days left till change for each sim, making some adult sim older then other sims. Could this be the problem. Maybe there is a way to change it without SimPE in the game and u accidently change something there.

NRJ - the way he's describing it, it sounds like he's talking about single day aging, not necessarily age transformation...

Krishna, are they all downloaded lots or are some of them Maxi's lots? Take a family that doesn't age off the lot and onto a new one and see what happens...doesn't really sound like something any of us can fix without knowing even more specifics about these particular lots.

Oh!! If you package one of those lots and move them to another neighborhood, does it work ok then?

sounds like the Lots are buggy, try moving them into new Lots.

Sounds like Junk Townie bug to me!  Strangetown is plagued with it.  See my post in this thread:

Well, these are lots with Beaker family and Smith family ( the original Maxis lots). And yes, I meant single day aging. I tried moving one family to another lot, but that didnt help (I only tried once though). Is there a way to debug a lot? Any cheats to do that? Thanks for your replies.
 
P.S. and by the way - i'm a female
 
Just found out something. Jase reminded me with the link to another thread that it could be the Inteen. I removed it and everything works fine Dammit! I wanted to play with InTeen in these lots. Gonna check the guide now to see if I can do something to correct it.

Krishna, I wouldnt be too fast to blame inteen for this. I have played both Strangetown and Veronaville with no custm content whatsoever, and had this aging, or rather, non-aging problem. I have respawned and started with fresh never played base Neighborhoods numerous times. Sometimes the problem is there, (particularly with the Smiths, Beakers, and Septer's), and sometimes everyone ages just as they should. It's just a Strangetown, Veronaville thing that happens. Good simming!

Actually the way to fix the problem is with InTeen.  For each of the sims in question spawn the biological clock.  Everything should be fine for them after that.

One other possibility...If you used InSIMenator to add someone to the family, there's a bug that will be fixed with the next release that resets that sims age to -99 or a long long long time until a birthday.  Easiest way to fix that would be to use Temporal Adjuster to change the sim's age to something else, then change it back to what it was.

The problem with using inteen to fix this aging bug is that you cannot spawn the clock for children and elders. It works great on teens and adults though.

[ancienthighway]

Then follow my suggestion using InSim for the children and elders.  

[billyd1000]

Oh that is what I have done, as well as fixing it with the boolprop cheats enabled, I just wanted to mention that point for those not as familliar with getting around this problem as I am. Insim and inteen together, a great combination!!

Ok, how do I spawn the biological clock? I don't see the option in any of the menus...
 
Never mind, figured that, but it didn't help
