Question about aging down a sim in cas?

Thanks for that link, kalaksed. Didn't realize there were so many cheats!

So, I didn't realize that by aging down my sims to toddlers, even on a new save, that their reward traits would transfer over. I was starting to wonder how my toddler is still all in the green while her parents were struggling to remain on their feet, with most of their needs in the yellow. I checked my toddler's traits and she has steel bladder, never weary, carefree, etc......lol. I was starting to think this is one super toddler! And not even one outburst or tantrum when she had the clingy trait!

This feels too much like cheating so I would either have to start over or find some way to remove the reward traits. Is there a way to do remove the traits?

Do you have a copy of this family of Sims in your library? That's what I did. I didn't take Sims that had already been played, per se, but rather the cloned copy you make in CAS. That way they don't have any rewards to carry with them into the 'new' game. Try that, instead.

Happily, I do! I didn't expect the traits to transfer over so I aged down the most current versions of my sims. I found their earliest versions, before I started to play them. I suppose I could have cloned them too, but they wouldn't be the same in my mind. Thx!

I've done this by saving my YA sims to the library and creating a new save for it, that way if anything were to go wrong it won't affect my main save. Aging them down shouldn't change their appearance when they age up again. They even keep the satisfaction points and reward traits from another save.

Be careful tho lol. I've seen others add minor problems with aging up/down and I wanted to add mine. I aged a toddler up to child in cas while the toddler had a sad moodlet (Due to a toddler trait) and all throughout childhood she had a permanent sad moodlet.

It also aplies to sims born in-game?

I mean, my sim had twins than now are teen.
If at CAS I age down to child and save at gallery, at other save when grow to teen will look as at the first save?

I have another question that I hope someone could help with. I don't think I'm able to start my own posts yet, so hopefully this will do. As I mentioned previously, I aged down my young adult sims to toddlers in hopes of getting the character values traits. They are now in their teens, and their character values are maxed, with grades A in school. I play with aging off and was wondering if there's any benefit to keeping them as teens for a longer time? Some of the character values were a pain to max out, and don't want to risk their values dropping down again. Unless I'm mistaken, the teen aspirations are the same as adults, so would I be missing anything if I age them up?

Thanks!

You're not missing anything with everything you said there. :) All the teen aspirations are just adult ones and you can keep right on continuing them as adults. The character values however will still continue to change if you intend to keep them as Teens longer, best age them up now while you're sure they'll get all the character values upon aging up!

Great to know, thanks! I just realized that I can post my own questions now, so literally just finished posting before I saw your reply :)

It's too bad too that character values can't be locked in. I wouldn't have minded keeping my sims as teens for a longer time, but I'm just anal about keeping those values maxed out. They're such a pain, lol!
