Birthdays unfortunately are impossible as there are no years in the Sims. You can't even specify a season since not all have this expansion.
But you CAN specify the day of the year, right? Does base-game even have years? It's been so long, I don't remember. Maybe that only started with Seasons...
Now that would be a popular mod... if someone can figure out the logistics of having birthdays...

No, not the day of the year. It might be possible to create a tally of how many days you have lived but that would not help here because the child was removed from the game.

@jpkarlsenWell, I suppose the game could keep a running tally of the number of days passed since "New game". (If it doesn't already) That would be easy enough. Simple counter. Then make a record of the "day number" the child was born. The game keeps a record of the current settings for lifespan selected. If the current average lifespan is like 100 days, and the child was born over 200 days ago, then just mark it in the family tree as "deceased". The child doesn't even need to exist and it's a couple of counters, a few INTs and a few tests. Cake.
New game created on Day 0
SusieBirthDay = 2300
CurrentDay = 2600
DaysPassed=CurrentDay - SusieBirthDay
if(DaysPassed > AveLifeSpanDays)
Mark as deceased...

Yes I agree that probably could be done but since it is not something that are wanted by many I suspect it will never happen.
- bellalala935 years agoSeasoned Traveler@Psychotps You could even make up years so instead of having a certain year you input a year month and day or change the format. I know this is wishful thinking but ahahha
