Sims 2 Custom Aging Hack Tutorial - Elders
This is my first post here, so hello! I watched this tutorial by Pleasant Sims and she didn't include how to edit the ages for elder sims. Took me a while to figure it out but I've managed to understand what the things in this list mean:
Elder min and max are pretty straightforward. They're set to 10 and 20 by default.
Process hour is when sims age up a day. It's 18 by default. Sims will age up at 6 pm every day. I didn't change them but if you wanted more time after sims come home from school you could change it.
Highest-lame aspiration are the levels that determine which elder bonuses sims get. When a sim's aspiration bar is at max, they'll get gold bonus for example.
Gold-bad elder bonuses are the bonuses your sims get based on how high the sim's aspiration bar was when they aged up. By default these are:
highest aspiration = gold bonus (+10 days)
high aspiration = silver bonus (+7 days)
good aspiration = bronze bonus (+3 days)
ok aspiration = normal bonus (0 days)
lame aspiration = bad bonus (-2 days)
What I did for my edit was to double the amount of max days and triple the bonuses.
elder min = 10
elder max = 40
gold = 30
silver = 21
bronze = 9
normal = 0
bad = -6
For the final age it will be days lived + min + bonus. 60 + 10 + 30 is the highest I can have, which is 100. Lowest is 64.
Note: I believe there's a feature that adds a random number number of days from 1 to 10 to your min score. I don't know if it can raise the highest to 110 days max or cap at 100.
That's it. I hope it was easy to understand, this is my first time modding and creating a tutorial. Thanks ij for the awesome mod and Cindy for the tutorial.
