How do I get townies to age without affecting my other households?

I have been away from simming for a long time and I'm trying to get back in the swing of things.

Or you could move them in, age them up with the birthday cake, move them out, and remove them from played households.
Or you could use mods, like MC Command Center, which has a command that allows you to force a sim to age up (even if they are unplayed).
If you’re playing with aging enabled, townies should age automatically without any needed input from you. However, if you’re playing with aging off, as I do, you’ll need to manually edit those households via CAS.
I don’t know how familiar you are with TS4, so I’ll write out the steps for you below. If you are familiar, then this should be a piece of cake!
1.) From the world select menu, open up the cheats menu. To do this, hit ctrl, shift + c on your keyboard. A small window should pop up at the very top of the screen.
2.) Now that the menu is open, type testingcheats true and hit enter.
3.) Next, type cas.fulleditmode into the menu bar and hit enter. To exit the cheats menu, hit esc.
4.) At the top right corner of the screen, select the “manage households” icon. From there, you can locate the townie families you want to edit from the “other households” section. Select their image, then hit the pencil icon at the bottom of the pop-up window. Once you enter CAS, you’ll be able to manually age them.
5.) After you edit a household, the game will put them into the “my households” section. If you don’t want them there, just select their household once more and hit the heart icon at the bottom of the pop-up window. This will place them back into the “other households” section.
I know it’s a lot of steps, but you don’t have to age every townie at once. In my game, I’ll age certain age groups or even individual sims once I feel like they should be older; otherwise, I let them be.
I hope this helps you!
Not sure if this is what you meant, but these settings will allow townies to age but not your played sims.
You can also set that to have only your current played household age up while your other played households don't (if you're playing rotationally for example). That's the setting I use and it works for me.

I've had that set but nothing's been happening.
