I play with aging off. I usually age the sims myself when I feel like they are ready. I never age my favourite sims to elder though, I'm too attached to them.

I have lost so many of my favorite Sims, but I have another solution. I am the Queen of Restarts! I always keep a skilled version of my favorite base family in my library. Yeah, I've had some pretty unfortunate things happen along the way forcing a restart. But, it's all good. Things rarely progress the same way, twice and it's nice to play around with just which Sim will end up marrying said special Sim. So, my current Global Superstar has in reality married several different females and has had at least one son in each version. Last version, he married a YA who had a daughter already before her husband up and left her to raise the child alone. My Rock Star was totally in love with a different Sim, prior to meeting her, but it was player error that caused that Sim to be swept out of my game, as if she never existed. It was either delete the game save, or start over. The EL patch answered that question for me. I was forced into a new game save, as even updated mods weren't functioning! :open_mouth: This last time around with the JTB patch, I discovered that removing my Mods folder and reinstalling the mods, as they were updated, fixed any problems in the current save. Go figure, right?
