Hi, I've been having this issue for the past two months, I've tried everything online but nothing seems to work. My sims age normally, but when they reach their Elder years, they become immortal (age bar changes to days lived and doesn't advance - like a vampires). I use mods. Has this happened to anyone before, if so how can I fix this?
mjdeacha That is normal. There is nothing to fix. Once a sim reaches the elder life stage, days left in the life stage change to days lived. They are not immortal and will eventually die when the bar fills unless they die earlier from something like overexertion, meteor, drowning, etc.
Hope this helps.
I think you haven't read the full post. They fully stop aging, the age bar doesn't advance, they never die.
mjdeacha Depending on how you've played the sim, it can take what seems like forever for an elder to die. Just completing the bodybuilder aspiration will nearly double the elder life stage so it looks like the bar doesn't move unless you pay attention to the actual number. There are other little things that can have an effect on how long a sim lives too. Spellcaster potions for example. Have you used the immortality potion on any sims. That usually only works for elders if I remember correctly. It's been a long time since I've used one.
But, if your elders have stopped aging altogether, do you have any mods that affect aging? Have you set a flag with MCCC for instance? You can also check to see if a sim is truly immortal and how many days are in the sim's life span with SimsInfo (originally by Itasan, now maintained by Frankk). MCCC can give you the info too, but I find SimsInfo easier.
Hope this helps.
they've all stopped aging altogether. every single elder. I've checked flags and traits with MCCC, and searched info on life span on MCCC, but nothing works. I'll try SimsInfo. Thank you
SimsInfo says Aging/Age Up/ Death: Disabled/Disabled/Disabled for every Elder :(
