Stop Neighbors From Aging

Did you restart the game right after you unchecked ''enable aging''?

No, I didn't. I kept playing. But I have played the game a few times since then, opening and closing it at those points. Should I recheck it and save and close and then reopen and uncheck it and restart the game? Will that fix it?

Do you have other households in your main menu, or just this one that your playing with? If you have the time, you can try making a new household, once the family is installed in the house, change the lifetime to 2 days in all the ages, turn enable aging off, and see if your neighbours get older (in the first day, try to make friends with them so that you'll know if they've aged or not).

Okay, so I made the aging down to 2 days and turned the enable story progression off, and families not in my active household still aged. I do want my sims to grow older but only when I am playing them. If I turn off the aging altogether, that means everyone doesn't age right? I want the active household to age but not the neighbors. Is that what story progression of neighbors mean? Or are they doomed to age no matter what?  I I thought turning it off the story progression, not the aging itself would make it so they would not age. but it seems no matter what I do, they keep aging. I am getting so frustrated with this. Should i turn it back on, restart the game, turn it back off and restart it again? Think that will work?

I asked you to create a new household and change the lifetime to 2 days because I thought it might have something to do with the game that you were playing being corrupted, but it appears that it's any game you play. Did you have any problem installing the latest patch?

No, the patch was fine. yeah, I created a new family and played them for about 3 days just to see. Then as I quit, I switched back to one of my other families and saw that the parents had aged, when before i left them, they both had over 20 days before aging. Turning the aging off turns it off for every sim right?

That is very strange. I'll read around to see if there is something that can be done. 

Maybe I should clarify. I never turned off the aging for every sim, I only turned off the story progression part. Is that why it's not working? I assume that turning off the aging, turns it off for every sim even in the active household. I still want my sims to age, but only in the active household that I am playing in. All the neighbors, i want to stay at the same age, until I want to play that house.

Ohhh okay. Thank you for clarifying that! I'll have to try that.
