Elder will not die!

It's possible. I've still got a couple of distant relative sims kicking around in one of my games who were born four generations ago. I notice if they have the active trait it seems to keep them around longer - even if they don't finish the fitness aspiration (they're NPCs). Using a Sim Info mod I've found they have a lot more days than a normal one. One only has seven more days to go now though >:)

If you want the sim to die by old age, you'll need to press Control+Shift+C enter this cheat:

testingcheats on

Then select the sim you want to go and type in this cheat:

sims.age_up

This will force sim to age up if aging is turned on. As the elder stage is the last stage, this cheat will cause death by old age.

I don't play with aging on too often but when I do and I happen to have an elder who has lived well past their sell by date, having them hit the gym and push the limits while working out or find a younger sim to woohoo with usually does the trick. :D

Here's a way to kill your elder without cheats or woohoo, should they not have a partner.

Purchase the Happy or Energized Potion as a reward. Have your elder drink the potion. They will be very Happy or Energized. Then have them go jogging. They will jog until they get the Dangerously Tired moodlet - but this moodlet will be overridden by the Very Happy or Energized moodlet. Then have your elder go jogging again... and have them meet Grim.

Note they need to drink the potion before going jogging the first time, otherwise, the Dangerously Tired moodlet will stick to the front and override any other positive moodlets, even if they drink the Happy potion afterwards.

Everyone is super skillful in killing those poor elder sims lol

Sims with the active trait tend to live longer -- a lot longer if you're playing with aging on long.

@Francl27 I read in another thread on here that some townie Sims have a hidden immortal trait/buff. Was your Sim orignally a townie? If so, that could be why she hasn't died yet. I also read this trait/buff can be removed with a cheat. Perhaps @rosemow can shed some light on the issue?

Hello
Some NPCs have a hidden trait that stops them from aging/dying.
The Weirdo, CityRepair , and StatueBusker hidden traits prevent aging and dying
To remove the trait , play as the sim. Then type into the cheat bar
testingcheats true
Press enter
Then type in
traits.remove_trait isWeirdo
Press enter
See if that helps.
isWeirdo can be replaced in the removal cheat with isCityRepair or isStatueBusker if that is the hidden trait that they have.
If they were previously a nanny or butler they also have a hidden trait that prevents aging/dying.

She's going to live to the Sim equivalent of 122! O:

Does she have the longevity trait from completing the fitness aspiration?

Good genes? Clean living? I don't know I play with aging turned off... :D
