Gradual aging

Not sure if this has been touched upon, if it has go ahead and pass this thread up.

Anyway, I was thinking, since teens/YA/adults/elders all have the same bodies and clothing for the most part, wouldn't it be cool to have gradual aging rather than all at once?
So your sim progressively gets taller/more adult/older in general and you can see it happen, like how pregnant women progressively get bigger.
You can still have birthdays/graduations but in between them your sim is changing constantly.
I think it would add a lot more depth, especially if you have two kids who are the same "age" but one is actually older than the other. (I.E The big brother only has 2 days till teen but the younger sister just hit kid)

I'm sure its not really possible as a mod, but it would be neat to add into the generations expansion or something!
  • I would prefer gradual aging to stop with the 4 life stages looking almost identical thing.
    I'm not sure how much work it would take for gradual aging, so i'm not going to push for it. But if it prevents another teen issue that S4 has i'll be down for it.

    as a player that plays with aging fully off i see no point of this for me playing the game with aging fully off and keeping my sims the same age is way more fun


    This is the very first Sims game I actually played with age off it is really fun should've played with age off sooner.

    For Sims 5. I hope pregnant sims will have bellies gradually grow as in sims 3. It is an amazing progression
