I would like to know if anyone here knows a cheat to force a sim to age up in Sims 4 WITHOUT using cas.fulleditmode and just doing it in CAS. I know one like this exists, or at least used to exist, because I found a comment on the forums here before with the age up cheat and it worked in my game (I tried this around the time Cats and Dogs released). But I didn't think to save that in my bookmarks, and I can't find the thread I found it on either, and I could really use it for my legacy family because I need to force my elder couple to die of old age.
I have 2 elders that have both the active and long-lived traits (second one is from completing the body builder aspiration) and these traits together are OP. Their grandchild is about to become a young adult and if they don't croak soon she won't be able to get married or have children of her own (I don't split up the household in my legacy, my sims are either all in the same household or they're burried in the back yard).
I don't want to force them to woohoo to death or anything unnatural, I just want them to have a peaceful old age death. But they refuse to die!

I believe this is what you were asking for. Anyways, if you have the mod MCCC installed, you can make them actually die of old age that way.
What ended up working, and I've done it a few times since, was just changing the lifespan to short until they died (I normally have it on normal). Most Sims I've done it with have died within a day or two. One died the same day.
I'm mostly just frustrated because I've done this before. I've used an age up cheat to force an elder into dying of old age on a save file I didn't care about as much. I just wanted to ask if anyone here remembers what that cheat is, or if it was broken in an update and removed.
Thanks for the suggestions, though! I appreciate you coming here to comment~

My elders were also sparkling for what seemed like forever, which is why I was getting so frustrated. lol. But, like I said, changing the lifespan made them all die within a day or two, it didn't have to be like that long. If your young adult is close to becoming an adult and you are worried it will drag on too long, you can always make them a teen in full edit mode, then age them back up to young adult when the elder dies.
And I really want to just force them into the age transition rather than alternative death methods for the sake of my screenshots. I'd rather force them to die from weight lifting than to cheat it with mods.
So basically I'm being stubborn and picky LOL
I'm also not a big fan of using mods unless I need it. I use mods in Sims 3 because you need them to not corrupt the save with bugs, but Sims 4 runs fine on its own so I've never needed them.
Thanks again for more suggestions, though. It still gives me things to think about~
So the cheat does exist still, it's just blocked from the game and is meant to only be used by developers. This cheat wasn't blocked around the time Cats and Dogs came out because I used it to kill Justin and Supriya Delgato, but I guess at a later update they decided to block this cheat from being used by most people.
So to be able to use it you need a mod that unlocks the locked cheats. Carl's Sims 4 Guide explains that more so I guess I'll go read that to decide if I want to install that mod or just make my elders hit the gym.

Mine didn't have the option, so I don't know if they are supposed to.
I tried to get them to die by weight lifting but once they were super uncomfortable they couldn't lift anymore. And I didn't wanna woohoo them to death because I already did that for generation 2... >.>;
So now they're sleeping with the fishes.
And congratulations on the upcoming wedding.
Easiest way I know of without a Mod cheat.
MCCC is awesome for just about anything cheat related you can think of though. Sick mod, you should check it out if your interested in mods.
I don't think you can kill elders that way? I was looking for a way to make them die of old age but I gave up.
I had a few elders who were getting way too old, and I simply sent them outdoors wearing their hot wear, causing them to freeze to death within a few hours. It was surprisingly quick and simple. Cold clothes in a hot day will work too. I also starved a few, with the help of the UI Cheat mod.
