[Pic-Guide] Reverse your sim's age for free

Post by ErinPW »

Reversing our sim's age to the beginning of their life phases is free now.
(Starting with the French Romance update in January 2017)

The automatic ageing starts while doing the quest "Life Dreams & Legacies". You won't see it at once, but after your sims worked on some longer tasks.

The pictures are made on a tablet.
To find the buttons on a phone it may be helpful to look at the topic [Guide] User Interface Differences.

First you'll see the white ring around the little picture at the sim tracker turns green.

If you want, you can reverse your sim's age after every task or wait until the ring turns into red.
Open the sim tracker that includes professions, hobbies, relationships, life dreams and age control (the hourglass).
Tap the hourglass, scroll down to the related sim, then tap the button in the middle.

You'll get the age controller of your sim. Tap the "Reverse - free" button.

Then you need to confirm the action.

The red ring slowly disappears. Everything is fine, your sim is back to the beginning of their life phase :)

What happens if the birthday cake appears above your sim?
Nothing. Your sims will stay where they are until you tap the birthday cake.

After tapping the birthday cake you can decide whether your sim should grow older or not.
If the sim isn't supposed to grow older, tap "Reverse - free"

Confirm.

Everything is fine, the sim is back to the beginning of her life phase.

If senior sims reach the end of their life phase, there won't be a birthday cake, but an exclamation mark above their head.

Tap the exclamation mark.

Choose "No" free".
(Tapping yes will call the reaper.)

Confirm.
