    I have hybrids, because they kept getting born naturally and I got tired of cheating one occult type off of them. (I have a spellcaster who's married to a family-oriented  mermaid and they love children, okay?)

    In my "just a player, don't work for EA, hybrids are unsupported" opinion, hybrids don't break your save file.  The most common issue is that mermaid hybrids start walking around on their tails and swimming through the floor. If you have Iced Cream's Hybrid Stabilizer (available on modthesims, as mentioned below), this doesn't happen. Other potential issues include that the spellcaster charge UI isn't visible with vampire/spellcaster hybrids without the mod and therefore they're more likely to die of spellcaster overload because you can't see that they're getting overcharged until they start sparking. Again, not supported, don't work for EA, play hybrids at your own risk.

    (The trait thing is 100% true; I replaced the Kleptomaniac trait on a Sim and she was perpetually tense from not stealing anyway.)

    Sadly, in my experience, I would suspect your restaurant and home. I recently ran a bunch of career rewards/personal inventory stuff through the recycler and my laggy, awful frame rate save improved a lot.

@xochiquetzl_xkvn Thanks for your reply. For the home, I use a prebuilt one, the big penthouse in san moshino. As for the restaurant, I loaded the one from local library (given default by the game), I don't remember it's name though.

As for the hybrids, the reason I used them is to stop my spell caster couple from ageing. Is there another way to stop only one couple from my active household from ageing while the rest of the sims in the game ages normally?

@varunk314 

There's a mod that was originally by Scarlet and is maintained by LittleMsSam that makes Potion of Immortality actually work stop aging. That's what I use. Before I started using that, I would use MC Command Center to add the No Age and  Immortal flags to any Sims I wanted to keep around.  (I still do that for pets.)  It's under MC Command Center -> Sim Flags -> MC Command Center. You can set them to never age (so they can still die from accidents) or as Immortal (or both).

(Tragically, Potion of Immortality is bugged.  Your Sim continues to age but it cancels "elder demise" unless you're not actively playing the household,and then they die. So, in a vanilla game, guzzle Potion of Rejuvenation and/or never play rotationally?)

I know both those lots well.  Hmm.  They should be fine...

    @xochiquetzl_xkvn thanks, I just started using MCCC, but didn't knew it can help with ageing as well.
