100 baby challenge - children turning into elders?

Hi all i am doing the 100 baby challenge, my matriach has not turned into an elder yet (has 8 days to go)

I just got a call to say her first daughter passed, i just went and looked and she was an elder and some of her other children are elders too already!

How is this happening?

  • Do all sims get the same exact lifespan number? I never play with aging so I don’t know lol

    Whilst sims are pregnant, they do not age. The rest of the world continues too including their children. That's how this is happening. You may want to turn aging off for the households you are not playing as the constant death spam will result in children and toddlers permanently with the sad buff.


    so it is okay for me to turn off aging? i did not see anything about it on the rules.

    i will go check, i was very shocked she died

  • If you have the MCCC mod, you can also choose to gave sims age while they are pregnant too as another option, I believe, though not sure if you’re using mods as part of your challenge

    You have to keep it on for the household you are playing but are free to turn it off for the others, iirc.


    so annoying, i wish i had known! i will just keep getting potential dads from the gallery :hushed:
  • i turned aging off for unplayed sims and they are still dying, i also changed auto age to active house hold only
  • thats so funny though i would have never in thousand years noticed sims dont age while pregnant cause i always have aging off :lol:

    @Simmingal lol yep I think I only vaguely knew they did since you can mess with pregnancy aging with MCCC. There are so many topics on this forum that my response is like, “I have no idea since I never play with aging and I use cheats and mods to fix this that and the other so I honestly have no idea how this game is supposed to work when you play it as designed :D”
