{clap} Congrats on getting in to private school!!
I never thought of sending my elders off somewhere else to die.. of course I never had any elders.. I can't stand to see them die.. that is why I just start new families..

I hardly ever play elders. I usually turn aging off when they hit adult. But for my generations and such, I use elders. But I've never thought to send them off somewhere, either...

I just kill them after a while, or indeed send them off. It's just easier that way, Elders annoy me. In TS3 I am hoping this iwll be different.

I'd love to play the normal way. You know...all cheats off, let the adults grow to elders, and continue to play them until they die...
I doubt I'll ever do that, though.

I enjoy aging, I couldn't bare to play without it. It's like removing a huge part of what made TS2 so special.

I age them, too, don't worry. I just stop it before they hit elder stage, usually.
Re: » The Greenreich Family - The Official Thread - Cassie - 07-05-2008 07:33 PM
But that would mean you are stopping all the other Sims from aging, too.
Re: » The Greenreich Family - The Official Thread - bambigoddess - 07-05-2008 07:34 PM
Nope. I turn on aging right before their birthday (I cheat to force the birthday).
So, basically, I:
1) turn on aging,
2) set to birthday
3) age
4) turn off aging right after they grow up.
Make sense now?

I think. So you just grow them up when you please rather than wait for birthdays? I get'cha.

Yep. Works for storytelling and such. And it makes it last longer.
