2014-03-15 - Compatible with game version 1.67. No changes.
compatibility
Supported for game version 1.67. Should work with game versions from 1.31 upwards, though.
scope
This mod is a rewrite of the second mod I wrote for TS3. I wrote it in 2009 and back then I was new to C#, OOP and the TS3 code base. Thus the code and the whole usability was, er, 'improvable'. After the Generations patch broke it, I decided that it wasn't worth to be salvaged and began rewriting it from scratch. So here it is, completely new and better than ever.
description
This mod will add a 2BTech/Aging Manager menu to all sims, mailboxes and the city hall. In there you'll find for example interactions to disable/enable sims' aging, reset sims' aging state, show info about sims' age and age sims down to a different aging state.
Heads up: The menu will only be available if the testing cheats are enabled. You don't need to shift-click or anything. These are regular interactions, but they're hidden if the testing cheats aren't enabled. This is deliberate so they don't disturb regular gameplay.

translation
This mod is fully localizable. If you are willing to support a translation, please read the instructions.
Disclaimer: I consider my mods to be free as free beer. I expect the same from your translation! If you are not okay with this, then don't support a translation! If you already supported a translation and are not okay with this, tell me and I will pull it.
Currently supported languages: English

possible conflicts
This is a scripting mod and as such the possibility for conflicts with other mods is very small. Only non-core mods that offer TS2-style aging might possibly conflict.
installation
Please follow Game_Help:Installing_Sims_3_Package_Fileswiki. I can't explain it any better than that. Seriously, I won't even try even if you ask me.
deinstallation
Just rip it out whenever you like. Be aware, though, that disabling sims' aging individually (apart from the global aging setting) will persist independently from this mod.
support
I support my mods. I appreciate bug reports. I don't support mods or custom content in general. It's not an issue with a mod if it doesn't even show up in the game.
disclaimer
Might lead to a serious case of squished brain. Use for rocket fuel. Don't use for stomach ailment.

2012-07-16 - Compatible with 1.36. No changes.
2012-06-10 - Ensured compatibility with game version 1.34.
2012-03-12 - Updated to game version 1.32.
2012-03-09 - Made aging down unavailable for non-human sims.
2012-03-02 - Updated to game version 1.31. Also finally uploaded the source text file for translations. Totally forgot about that.
2011-12-15 - Updated to game version 1.29.
2011-10-18 - Updated to game version 1.26.
2011-07-30 - Added error trapping to encase an EAxian bug and state the affected sim(s) in the error log. Aging gets successively processed for all sims. If the bug occurs for a sim, aging will fail for all sims that should have been handled afterwards. Might explain the aging fail since Generations.

sim interactions
Interaction | Description |
---|---|
Show Age Info | Shows information of the target sim's age in days/years in the current stage and in total. |
Reset Aging State | Resets the age of the target sim to zero in the current stage. |
Set Aging Days | Lets you set the target sim's age in the current stage in days. |
Suspend/Resume Aging | Lets you disable and (re-)enable the target sim's aging. Warning: This setting will persist even if you remove the mod. |
Age Down | Lets you age a sim down. Only available for Adults and Elders. Advice: Keep the target sim focussed until the process is complete to make sure they are running in full simulation. Otherwise the process might not properly complete. |
mailbox/cityhall interactions
Interaction | Description |
---|---|
Show Age Info Of | Same as the sim interaction but for a selection of sims. |
Reset Aging Stage Of | Same as the sim interaction but for a selection of sims. |
Suspend/Resume Aging Of | Same as the sim interaction but for a selection of sims. |
Set Global Aging | Choose the style of aging. EAxian is the original aging. TS2 style aging lets only the active family age. Hybrid aging uses TS2 style aging for households that are marked (see below) for hybrid aging and EAxian aging for all other households. Warning: The mod will not catch if a marked household gets split by you or the storyprogression. The new household resulting from the split will not be marked. |
Mark/Unmark For Hybrid Aging | Select/Unselect the households which shall only age when you play them. |

Currently supported languages: English
If you are willing to translate, download the source text file and edit it with a text editor. Please be serious about your translation. I don't have the means to check these translations for grammatical or orthographical errors.
Only translate the stuff between the <STR></STR> tags or you will break the localization. Leave the {0.String}/{1.SimFirstName}/etc. stuff unchanged. These are placeholders and will be replaced by the localization code, before the string is shown. You can freely move these placeholders to form sensible sentences though.
Parts like {MA.him}{FA.her} are gender-dependent strings. Translate the part between the point and the closing brace and leave the rest unchanged. You can freely move these around as well and add new ones.
Finally, please change the filename to something that indicates the language you translated to and upload it as attachment in the comments section of this mod. Please save your file in the UNICODE format (if you use Notepad, simply use "Save as..." and you will see a format drop-down menu below the field to enter the filename) and check the translation in-game after I uploaded it. Thanks.

I like to be given credit as much as the next guy, but that's strictly optional. If you want to make an ass of yourself then plagiarize my mods for all I care.
Requests
I don't take requests. Period.
