Who's my oldest sim ?

Heya peeps,

I have a LOT of sims. Some I just created last night, others I haven't played for years.

Sometimes I look around the neighborhoods, see a sim I haven't played in a really long time and think "Hey, that guy's still alive ?!" (Of course he is, I turned off the auto-aging long ago because they kept dropping like flies.) So I go look at how old he is, and think "OooK, this guy's should definitely be an elder", and age him up.

I wanted to know if there's a quick way to sort all my sims by age ?

So I can go "vampire, vampire, vampire, really old sim that should definitely be a skeleton right about now, vampire, immortal sorcerer, vampire..." and then age up the ones that need it.

Happy simming !

    @Naemi_Han I can't think of any way to sort Sims by age in the game. Hopefully someone else can provide some suggestions there. I do know of one way but it involves using a mod. There is a mod called Show/Search Sim Info that you might want to look into. I can't post a link on here but you can find it on the Mod The Sims website. It will allow you to search for all elder Sims in your game (or any other age group). It will also allow you to search for all Vampires in your game. I only install this mod when I wish to use it for a specific purpose and when I am finished I remove it again. That's just for personal preference though-- the mod does not seem to slow down my game at all or affect performance in any way.

    Good luck, I hope this helps :D

    I'm just a regular Sims player, I do not work for EA.

    @Naemi_Han There is only one way to sort your own Sims out and that is by the date you uploaded them to your library. But then of course when you place them at random in your gameplay you will have to make your own methode.
    I play with approximately 125 Sims in random order. But all my Sims are related to each other through a family tree. Therefor I know who is eldest and youngest.
    When that is not of any help you should go for the options that @RandomBuzziness provided and search for the mod.
    Have fun playing. 😉

    Thanks guys.

    That "Show/Search Sim Info" seems interesting, I'll give it a try.
