Question about automatic aging and green cupcakes

Post by lumiina »

I won't get aging in my game for a while, since I just started recently, but I have a question about it for future reference.

Does using the green cupcake count towards activities that age a sim?

I don't see how that would be. It's 5 lps just to inspire them in an emergency though how bad it could get I don't know. I never use cupcakes/lps to inspire sims. Seems wasteful to me.

Wow! 5 lps! Thanks for the input.

Hmm... okay, was just curious! I am still considering whether I want to go through with the quest to have automatic aging or not so was just wondering my options when I wanted to put a sim aside to save onto. I think I'll just save up the LP to reverse their ages if I'm not ready to let them go instead.

I've always figured that, if you were going to spend the 5 lps, you'd be better off to spend 3 more and get a singing fish that can be used over and over (after recharging!)

Same here. At some point it went from 3 to 30 minutes to recharge though. Figures :roll: :?

This is just about aging though, not about recharging. As using the singing fish would still count towards their aging.

So it's better to just reverse my sim's age with LP than to put them aside and use cupcakes to recharge them when their needs are low.

That's true. Sorry, got a little sidetracked. But it still is only 30 seconds to go from fully pooped to fully inspired with the fish. Aging would be minuscule for that.

I found I could use the fish no problem and have them set at the ten minute hobby which I would restart two or three times a day. I may have reset then once before earning a platinum orb. Even if you reset once or twice, you will earn back the lps by doing the hobbies.

Listen to the singing salmon for half a minute every day won't hurt your sims much.
If you have them busy around the clock,
adult sims live 24 days = 576 days = 34,560 minutes.
For the other age groups look here

Sims are fully inspired after using the reverse option, so they won't need cupcakes then :)

Thanks everyone! I guess I don't have too much to worry about. I'll make sure to get that singing fish when the quest comes!
