NPC Sims, also known as non-player characters, are Sims that are not controlled by the player. These Sims can include townies, service NPCs, and other characters that populate the game world. By default, NPC Sims will age over time, just like played Sims. However, this can sometimes cause problems, such as townies growing old and no longer being available for romantic interactions.

To control the aging process for NPC Sims, you need to use the game settings. Specifically, you need to disable the Auto Age option for unplayed Sims. This will prevent townies and other unplayed households from aging. Alternatively, you can use cheats to control the aging process for individual Sims.
