When you wish to change the gameplay under Options, make certain you're actually in a household when you do it. If you do it from MapView, it doesn't register!

Hate to tell on myself this way, but hey, I'm full of these little mishaps. LOL Also, I thought this was a good way to share with the newcomers among us, who are still in the process of learning this game.

Why wouldn't it register in map view? Isn't changing gameplay in options a universal thing?

@Oldeseadogge it is, but I think map view may be considered a "dead zone" since sims can't do anything so the game won't recognize any changes you make to game options. At least that's my theory, but I'm probably wrong (as ususl) lol.

Your guess is as good as mine. I thought it would register, that's why I did it that way. I knew my Sims' twins were very close to aging up. As it turns out I was correct. However, while their father was busy planning his wardrobe for the next Starlight Accolades, they obviously aged up on me. That's when I went back into options/gameplay and discovered aging was still on! Face/palm.

Hi, stupid question, but did you click "Apply Changes"? I find it really easy to not click and then your changes won't be saved. :)

I know I did inside the lot. Don't know about when I was trying to set things up in map view. You make a good point. APPLY CHANGES.
