Obviously, this won't work if you're already playing with Short lifespans. You can get more time out of your Lifefruit and Ambrosia by changing the lifespan slider in the options to Short before consuming Life Fruit/Ambrosia, and then change it back to how you had it before. However, if you change the sim's lifespan in the game options, they'll still have the same percentage of time to the next age transition. Exploit/Trick: Life Fruit normally gives back one day of youth, and Ambrosia usually gives back two weeks.

Within a particular age stage, you can use Life Fruit or Ambrosia to increase the number of days until your sim ages to the next age stage, de-aging a sim but keeping them in the same age stage. JM Pescado's Awesomemod does allow you to take sims back to Create a Sim and technically you can change their age there, but it is not recommended or supported. Unfortunately, TS3 includes no "setage" cheat like TS2 did, so de-aging a sim from one age group to another with a cheat is not really doable. Be warned, that once you've pressed the button you can't cancel the transition, and you can only age sims up - not back down again!Īging up is one thing - aging down or preventing aging is quite another.

There is also an in-game "No aging" setting - these are found in Options -> Game Options. You can change this setting at any point, and it will take immediate effect. In TS3, you have the ability to control your sims' aging - or, more specifically, to set the length of their life to either Short, Medium, Normal, Long, or Epic.
