More Awesome Than You!

Ok, fixed my computer problems.  I had decided I wanted to start over with Pleasantville and use the age sims cheat to have some fun.  My computer decided to cause me some problems, but they're fixed now.  I now can start my fun.  So I need to know how to make a sim younger using the age sims cheat.  I know what the cheat does but not how to apply it.  Any advice??

from the NL read me

We also added 2 new Terrain Types to use in the Neighborhood creation cheats:
(You can choose these in the neighborhood dialog)
terraintype desert
terraintype concrete
nhdregiontype desert
nhdregiontype concrete

Basically, after you enter the cheat, left click on the sim you want to make younger. You'll see an option to 'Set Age' - baby, toddler, child etc, you choose one and the sim will do an age transition. Note that the age meter of the sim that has been agesimscheat-ed will not correspond to the age duration for the specific age group. Oh boy, how do I explain this. Ok, for example, you use the cheat on an adult, say Cassandra, made her into a teen, her age duration will show that she has 28 days left as a teen instead of the usual 14 days a teen has. Or if you grew a child up to an adult with the agesimscheat, the newly transitioned adult will have 7 days left as an adult before becoming an elder.

You can use SimPE to adjust/fix the age duration to what each life stage usually has.

You need to open your cheatbox and type in it:  agesimscheat on

From the moment you do that when you will clic on a Sim a new option will appear which is:  Set age,  select that option and you can either make it grow older or younger.

Be careful if you age down a Sim to child or teen, you must send them to school because when you age them down they will have a d- as school score.  Best would be to age them down early in the morning during school days so you can send it to school the same day you age it down.  I personally did not age down Sims to child only teen.  I read that the child could get taken away by the social worker because of its poor grade this is why I suggest you age Sim down to child early in the morning so they can go to school, to make sure do not save your game right after you age them down to make sure they won't be taken away.

Another thing you should know is that the age meter won't reset so if you age down an elder to adult it will still show that is has 11 days before it becomes an elder but it actually have 29 days like any adult, the age meter won't start raising until your Sim is really 11 days from being an elder.  Also, if you age down Cassendra make sure or any other Sims make sure as an adult they are not in love anymore with other adults since the game do not reset that.  In my game Don Lothario greeted Cassendra that was a teen and gave her a kiss as if she was still an adult.

Hope this information can help you.

Thank You so very much for your help.  I wanted to change some things and now thanks to you people I'm all set.  I appreciate the help so very much!

that "agesimscheat on" cheat sounds really messed up, I'm glad I use InSIM instead  ;D
