It's finally here! It took me a while, but here's 2.0 of the Timelines mod! I gave it a bit of an overhaul.
This version of the mod includes:
🌟 NEW: Available ages up to 100!
🌟 NEW: Auto Aging with 4 different time intervals!
🌟 NEW: Buffs for more milestone ages
🌟NEW: Assign Grade Levels & Years to your Sims
🌟NEW: Assign Birth Order & Positions
🌟NEW: Assign a Generation to Your Sim (Gen 1, Gen 2, etc)
PLEASE. READ. CAREFULLY....SERIOUSLY.
Yes! While many of you were satisfied with 75, I had more than a few of you ask for Elders ages to be increased. So that's what I did. Now Elders ages range from 60 all the way to 100! Did it take me a long time? Yes! But I think it's worth it for your gameplay. Your Elder Sim will also get a buff when they finally reach triple digits!
Other Age Changes in 2.0:
✳️ Toddler ages include 5 years.
✳️ Child ages now include 13 and 14 years.
✳️ Young Adults will ALWAYS have access to the Early Adult Ages (26, 27, etc..)
This version of the mod introduces new milestone ages! Sims will now receive milestone buffs for the following ages:
🌟 13 years
🌟 16 years
🌟 18 years
🌟 21 years
🌟25 years
🌟 50 years
🌟 100 years
Auto Aging + Aging Intervals
This was another feature a lot of persons were asking for! After many many trial and error attempts, I finally got a working auto aging system! I recommend you turn the game's auto aging off so you can experience my auto aging feature fully. But also feel free to leave it on if that's what you're comfortable with!
🔴 HOW DOES THE AUTO AGING FEATURE WORKMy auto aging feature ONLY changes the NUMERICAL AGE of your Sim (i.e. 13 years → 14 years). It does NOT change their LIFE STAGES (i.e. Child → Teen, Adult → Elder.) You are still responsible for changing their life stages.
The auto age feature comes in FOUR intervals. Your Sims can age:
✳️ Every 2 Days → Sims change ages every 2 days.
✳️ Every 7 Days → Sims change ages every 7 days.
✳️ Every 14 Days → Sims change ages every 14 days.
✳️ Every 21 Days → Sims change ages every 21 days.
🔴 CAN I MIX AND MATCH INTERVALS?YES! You can mix and match the intervals with different life stages. If you want your infant Sims to age every 2 days, and your teen Sims to age every 7 days, you can do that! (READ MORE ON INSTALLATION AT THE END)
Depending on the interval(s) you select, your Sim will get a notification ONE day before their age changes. Afterward, you should keep an eye on your Sim's Simology Panelwhere their age will change the next day!
IF YOU HAD THE MOD INSTALLED BEFORE, IN ORDER FOR AUTO AGING TO BEGIN, REMOVE YOUR SIMS' CURRENT AGES, THEN RE-ADD THEM!!!
AGING AT THE BIRDAY CAKE:
Your Sim will now be able to change their age number at a birthday cake! For this to work your Sim will have to select the CELEBRATE BIRTHDAY interaction (This overrides the 'Make a Wish' interaction).
🔴 NOTE: IF YOU SELECT ANY OTHTER INTERACTION, SUCH AS THE 'TASTE FROSTING'or 'BLOW OUT CANDLES' the Sim's LIFE STAGE will change as normal, and not their AGE. Be careful!
🔴 When your Sim comes to the end of their age cycle, YOU will have to change their life stage, then assign them the next age, for the auto aging cycle to continue.
A Teen Sim who is 19 years old, will not get another 'age' until YOU change them into a Young Adult. Then you will then have to assign them age 20, for the auto age to pick back up.
🔴 With my birthday cake add on, infants and toddlers will no longer change life stages. So you will have to change their life stage, another way. (i.e. clicking on them and selecting 'age up')
Credit to @minkoos for recommending this! This version of the mod also introduces Grade Levels and School Years. Levels include:
✳️ Freshman
✳️ Sophomore
✳️ Junior
✳️ Senior
You will also be able to assign them a grade year! Find the School Year & Level pie menu under the Timelines menu (once you SHIFT + CLICK)
The following grade years are available:
✳️ Kindergaten (for Toddlers)
✳️ 1st grade- 12th grade (for Child and Teen Sims)
For Young Adult to Elder Sims, they will be able to also select:
✳️ University of Britechester Graduate
✳️ Foxbury Institute Graduate
P.S. Your Sim doesn't have to be a graduate lol. Feel free to assign it as you please!
I know a lot of you like to have a visual of your Sims birth orders. So this version of the mod introduces Birth Order and Positions! Positions include:
✳️ Oldest Child, Middle Child, Youngest Child, Only Child
✳️ Twins and Triplets
✳️ 1st Born-10th Born
I didn't realize so many of you were generational players! So I incorporated 10 generation levels in this update so you can keep track with what generations your Sims are apart of. I also included traits that allow you to label your Founders and Heirs. Find the Generations pie menu under the Timelines pie menu.
