Sim don’t age/die anymore

Problem

My Sim doesn’t age anymore. The age bar is full but the Sim doesn’t age up.

When I try to age him with the birthday cake, I get a message that the Sim is not eligible for aging.

My Sim also doesn’t die. I tried all kinds of methods but he survives everything.

Cause

Meeting the Nanny makes Sims immortal
Sim is pregnant.
Sims with the Weirdo-Trait are immortal
Sims that repair stuff around San Myshuno are immortal
Sims that used to be Detective Career criminal

Solution

How to use Cheats

Do the following steps to use the cheat console

Open the cheat console with ctl-shift-c
Enter the cheat you need in the entry box which appeared in the upper left corner of your screen.
Hit ENTER
Repeat steps 2 & 3 for every necessary cheat.
After entering all needed cheats, close the cheat console with ctl-shift-c

Immortal Sims usually have a certain hidden trait. This trait can be remove via cheat which in turn lets the Sim age and die again. Don’t try this for pregnant Sims. Wait til the baby is born and the Sim will go back to aging.
