My fourth and fifth sim have glow bubbles around them. I just made their son. Are they starting the age process already??? I created them last night! I spent the time I had this evening adding new tv characters. Mind you the first three sims are not glowing....so confused.

If those bubbles are green, it just Means that they are inspired. Those without bubbles need to get their needs met.

Woodworking only the Quick Practice changed now 10 mins and CarveMagnum Opus is still 9 hrs.
Ghost hunting is still the same.
I just noticed that the 10-minute Fashion Design action rewards 99 XP (90 for non-resident Sim), yet the 10-minute Woodworking action rewards only 16 XP (15 for non-resident Sim).
If they are going to make the times longer, they should increase the XP too, for ALL hobbies. This must be a mistake, because that makes no sense.

Add me to the list if those who are freaked out by this update! I know there have been a lot of threads and questions about this and that not everything is cleat yet, and so I apologize if this has been asked before...
I have already updated my game but what if I just want to go on playing the game and ignoring any orb/life dream tasks. Is there anyway to keep my existing sims from aging up and dying? My 2 cute little toddler girls are the ones who have moved the farthest in the green circle, not quite 25% yet, so when that bar fills up they are going to turn into pre teens and there's nothing I can do to stop that if I don't have an orb to give them or don't want to use life points to turn them back into toddlers? I am perfectly content with my families, friends, relationships, hobbies and jobs just as they are, as I'm sure many Sims players are. So am I understanding this correctly or am I missing something?
I already spend more time than I should keeping all my little sims happy but it sounds like if i don't want to do the whole orb/ life goal thing that eventually all my existing Sims are going to die. Or I'm going to have to spend even more time doing these goals to keep them alive. If that's the case I'm not sure there's any point of continuing this game. I'd rather quit now and leave my little sims live by themselves in their own little sims world than continue to play only to see them die off one by one.

Thanks Microdot, but this only explains the process from a new sim assigned one of the new personalities. What about my existing sims who don't have these personalities or life dreams? Am I going to be asked to choose one when they advance to the next stage of life?
And isn't there any way at all to just stop my current Sims from having to go through the aging process? (I'm guessing not!)

You are not forced to taking a life dream ( that may change). Some of mine have not been given one....but their bar still fills in. My guess is they will still age and die but not leave anything to help future sims open and enjoy the new places....nor will they be able to temp halt aging unless you use LPs because they have no orb
