    Reverse a sims age?

    in The Sims 4 General Discussion
    So my sim aged up into an elder and i tried that potion that reverses the age but it only brought them back to the beginning of elder. What happened to putting them back to young adult with a potion like in sims 3? So if the potion isn't working to age them back is there another way i can put them back to young adult?

      cas.fulleditmode -> go to the dresser -> make them younger.

      Yes, it is.

      But go to the dresser and make them younger is you taking a sim to Plan Outfits in a dresser. That will take you to Create A Sim. You can change the age then.

      If this is overly bothersome to you, making your Sim(s) younger over and over again, you can also go to Settings, and then Game Options, and then Gameplay, and turn off aging.
      pithy remark

      You're welcome. I am glad it worked.

      You know you can just go to a mirror and select 'change appearance' then select child, teen, young adult ect.

      Doesn’t work with Sims that have already been created at least on ps4. Stupid game kept aging my sims off screen and moving one member of the household (maybe cause 2 were married?) game has been update greatly since i played sims 2, but it’s way too glitchy

      I’ve just had to lose my progress on most of my households due to the ageing (luckily i now have found the option to age only active household), i worked around not losing the house content by editing the household and then loading in the same houshold i saved when i made it then deleted the old versions.. all money is there, just lost all my aspirations... /sigh

      The easiest way is to modify in CAS and change your sim back to the age you want them to be.
      Playtesting - not just tabletop games and card games any more. Really that should have been playtested in Beta and not [img]just with accounting and marketing but actual players. https://i.imgur.com/t48COW6.jpg[/img]

      This is good to know, I was also assuming the age reverse potion took you back a cycle.

      Wait, with the cheat could you be a toddler god with all the perks of an adult? Like a boss baby?

      This does not work if the households have moved about or done ANYTHING that involves aspirations.. age cannot be changed... unless i’m missing something, or it’s only for the ps4 version. All I get is “age cannot be changed for previously created sim”

      I don't know if it's the same with ps4 but you need cas full edit mod turned on with the cheat code first
    • MaxieMixMaxieMix Posts: 194 Member
      Use testingcheatsenabled true

      Oh you need to enable cheats first? You can enable on ps4 but all trophies are disabled if you do that. Anyway best way to avoid any of this nonsense is to turn off auto ageing for everyone except active household

      No i’m pretty sure even with cheats you cannot age revererse pre childhood

      Yes, with the cheat you can choose whichever age you want, excluding the baby stage. Otherwise, toddler and up are fair game, so an adult could indeed become a toddler again.

      This isn’t working for me. I did testingcheats true, then cas.fulleditmode. Then I tried the mirror, the dresser, and shift click on the sim. Every time I get into cas it says “cannot edit pre-existing sims. Any other ideas?
