My young adult sim is going to to University, but I don't want her to come back to her baby brother being the exact same age.
Can I use Master Controller to age the whole town up by 14 days, when I come back? I want it to look like the sims have aged while she was gone.
I know you can age sims individually, but can you age a town up in one go?

She can select them all at once, but she'd still have to set their ages individually, unless she wants them all to be the same age. There is no control to add a specific number of days to everybody in town's age at once. And for anybody who is closer than 14 days to aging up, she'd have to age them up first, then set their age for that stage. Both absolute and relative age controls in MC are limited to adjusting age within the current stage.
Personally, I'd just change the ages of the active household, and maybe the student's friends from school, and leave everybody else as is.
Click on city hall and go into the nraas menu.
Select Sim>>Intermediate>>Age:Relative. You should then get a dialogue box where you can enter your number 14.
Next, you'll be asked to chose the sim. Select them all apart from your sim.
The only problem I can foresee is if the enter the number dialogue box and the chose the sim options come up the other way around, so the choose the sim is first. Then you'll have to type 14 and hit enter for each sim, which will take you longer, but will still get you what you want in the end, and will be quicker than chasing them all down individually.
I believe relative adds days to a sim's age, so even if they don't age up, they'll be ready to age up the next day if they are fewer than 14 days from the end of the their lifespan.
Select Nrass
Then master controller>Sim>Intermediate>age: Relative - apop up will appear asking you select the Criteria of sims, What age group, Gender, And the type of Sims(Or). a second pop up appears for the Type of Sims(Or) choose the Residents option.
you will then SEE All the RESIDENTS listed, select the sims you wish to age or Select ALL.
A pop up will appear asking you to input Number of days to add to the sims. put in 14 or whatever number.
Click Check mark - a second pop will ask if you wish to add the current number to all other selected sims, click check mark(All Sims in town will age by 14 days, If you select the X you will manually input the number of days.
Hope this helps.

I just tried that, and I think it worked. The only problem is my sim ages as well. I don't know if she ages at University or not, so depending if she does or not, I'll just age her back 14 days.
