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
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.
