Question for others who play with aging off

I play with aging off because I write stories on the Sims, and everyone would age too fast for me to get the screen shots I wanted.
When I need to age them up, I use the Trigger Age Transition cheat.
For my current story, which is covering a few years but taking ages to play, I make a note of when the children were born and age babies up a year in story time later, age toddlers up when they would be 4 (that's when they start school in the UK) and children to teens in the autumn they're 11, because that's when our secondary school starts.
If I'm playing in a world with no school (depends on the story I'm writing) then I also use a cheat code to edit their personality after they age up, because of course they haven't got any grade at all from their schooling.
Another alternative is to put a school in for a day, so that they've got some homework in their backpack, take the school out again and if there's an adult around with a high enough logic skill, they can tutor them and get their grades up.
Happy Simming!
