Why did my sim age so quickly?

Your Sim may have aged quickly due to a bug or setting issue in the game, specifically with the “short” and “long” lifespan options, which can cause Sims to age rapidly when the player enters and exits the “Create a Sim” menu. By adjusting the Auto Age settings in the Game Options menu, you can halt the aging process and prevent your Sims from aging too quickly.

Understanding Sim Aging

To address the issue of rapid aging in Sims, it’s essential to understand how aging works in the game. The aging process is influenced by various factors, including the lifespan setting and the Auto Age option. By default, Sims age at a normal rate, but this can be adjusted using the Game Options menu.

Aging Settings

The Game Options menu allows you to adjust the aging settings for your Sims. You can choose from different lifespan options, including “short”, “normal”, and “long”. Additionally, you can enable or disable the Auto Age option, which controls whether your Sims age automatically or not.
