I'm not talking about going into CAS or using some other mod to change the age, I'm talking about the specific age in days to control when a sims ages up. For example, in the Sims 3 with Master Controller, I had all sims age up according to their group. Like, all lifespans were a multiple of 8: so babies would be 8 days, toddlers and children 16 days, teens 32 days, etc etc, and every 8th day would be a birthday. Then, after babies aged into toddlers, I would allow sims to get pregnant randomly, and thus a new group is born. It was laggy during birthday-day because every sim that was aging into a different age would age on the same day, but I loved having that control.
Is there a way for me to do that with the Sims 4? For right now, I have aging turned off and have categorized all 200+ of my sims into groups in another document. So, when I feel like aging them up, I'll manually change the age of everyone that's in the last stage of whatever age they are. But that's tiring, because elders don't die. And you can't CAS a baby, so I have to go to each household with a baby and age them myself. It's tedious, so I find myself not aging them. I've been playing with the same group of YAs for... weeks because I'm too lazy to go and age up all the teens, children, toddlers, young adults, adults, babies, and kill some elders.
So... is there a mod?
Edit: For anyone stumbling in here looking for the same thing, there is a way to control ages in days. You can download it here: www.patreon.com/posts/fix-your-sims-22807008 (it's free). Although you can't edit sims in bulk like you could in the Sims 3 and you have to go to each individual sim you want to change the age progress for, it works. I was able to take my teen sim who was 3 days from aging up and restart him down to 0 days into his age. Meanwhile, I put his teen sister at 8 days into her age. I'm so happy there's a way to control the ages.
