Timelines (1.0)

✅ July 4, 2026: This mod is compatible with the latest game version.

RQUIREMENTS: 
XML Injector by SCUMBUMBO
Base Game Compatible

Have you ever wanted to give your Sim a particular age for better storytelling? This mini mod makes it possible for you to give your Sims actual ages!

Features include:

⭐ Assigning your Sim a real age.
⭐ Entry buffs on a few milestone ages.
⭐Perfect for family gameplay and storytelling!

PLEASE. READ. CAREFULLY.

What Does this Mod Do?

This mod is pretty simple, honestly. It allows you to assign an age to your Sims based on their life stage. After selecting an age, it will appear in the Sim's simology panel as a reward trait. This mod is available for Infants to Elders.

Age Categories:

This mod is divided into a few age categories:

• Infants: 1 to 11 months
• Toddlers: 1 to 4 years
• Children: 5 to 12 years
• Teens: 13 to 19 years
• Young Adults: 20 to 24 years
• Adults: (I divided Adults into two subcategories. I figured it would be more organized this way).
✳️ Early Adulthood: 25 to 39 years (Update: If you want this age range to be available for Young Adults too, read more at the end.)
✳️ Late Adulthood/Middle Age: 40 to 59 years
• Elders: 60 to 75 years

Choosing Your Sim's Age:

To choose your Sim's age, you will need to:

• #1: Enable Cheats (CTRL+Shift+C, and type testingcheats true)
• #2: Shift+Click on the active Sim and then you will find the Timelines pie menu.
• #3: Choose from the ages listed on the Sim based on their life stage.

And that's it! Your Sim's new age will appear in their Simology panel.


Custom Buffs + Milestone Ages

I also added a few cute little entry buffs on certain ages. Your Sim will get one when they turn: 16, 18, 25 and 50!


Removing Ages (Add-on):

I created an add on in case you want to remove the age from your Sims. It's under the Timelines pie menu. But honestly, it's easier to just cheat it away using either UI Cheats or MC Command Center.

Compatibility & Conflict:

This mod is a standalone and should not conflict with any other mod. You will need the most updated version of the XML Injector for it to work!

Adeepindigo's Preteen Mod:
I've tested this mod with adeepindigo's preteen mod, and it seems to be compatible. It will treat preteens like regular teens. Ages 13-19 will be available for them.

This mod does NOT:

• Impact Aging: It won't actually age your Sim up or down. I thought about allowing this, but there are so many limitations for doing this in game! However, when your Sim does age up, the appropriate age set will be available for them. (Children will have child ages to choose from, teens will have teen ages to choose from...)

• Impact Autonomy: You are in control. The age of your Sims will not automatically change when they age. It's up to you to add and remove when you want.

Installation:

• #1: Unzip the package files.
• #2: Place the age groups you want in your mods folder. Try not to place them too deep in subfolders.


Young Adult Extension:

Update: I added an extension so that Young Adults can have access to the Early Adulthood ages. (25-39). The package is called ellesimsworld_Timelines_Adult_Early_YA_Included. If you download this, do NOT download ellesimsworld_Timelines_Adult_Early.


NOTE:

I understand this age system won't perfectly apply to everyone's gameplay. I know we all want the mod to work and be a certain way; however, I cannot please everyone. Still, I hope this mod, as is, helps with your gameplay and storytelling!


Enjoy!

Some Person You Probably Never Met · September 14, 2026

Excellent. I'm going to use this with the Globetrotter Challenge. Then I can use it to determine what age they should be once the challenge is done and I turn aging back on.

M
Max Maxin · August 27, 2026

One question. If I play with a vampire, stuck in young adult stage, the age will continue increase or just stop? Like apears he have 100 ears and a young adult?

S
Sheerah Paintsil · September 17, 2026

I think since you select the age, you would have to reset it? I am not 100% sure but yea

Honey_Badger_xx · August 24, 2026

What a fantastic idea, I would definitely use this if the elder years were set a little wider. I consider people who are 60 to be older adults, but not elders, I think retirement age of around 65-67 is when they begin to enter the elder age group realistically. At at the upper limit I think 75 is too short, and although it fits in with current global life expenctancy it isn't very reaslistic for many families, both of my grands lived into their 90's, and a great grandparent lived to be 101! I read recently that the oldest person in the world is currently a British woman who is 117 years old. I think this is wonderful for those younger sims, but this would ruin the adult and elder age related immersion for me. I get it, you can't please everyone, I read your comment on that, I just think it would add a lot to be able to have some elder sims who have longevity, and I can't wrap my head around someone being classed as an 'elder' when they are still working full time in their 60, which my parents in real life still do.

It'sFancy · August 7, 2026

this is a cool mod. however the ages are very limited, would you consider adding ages 19-30 for young adult? because 19 is a young adult and 30 is still a young adult, great for storytelling for older young adults.

Duwhatgsimsdu · September 27, 2025

i just want older elders can you please expand their ages to 100

A
ALENA EASTER · July 20, 2026

You can change the amount of days for each age group so they can live longer with MC Command. So yes, you can give you elder sim 100+ days to live.

☆
☆sunni☆ · September 27, 2025

I absolutely love this mod and plan to use it for the savefile Im making! I was just wondering if it would be at all possible for the elders to have up to age 100? I know its not super realistic but in my mind most of my elder sims are 50-90 😭😭 If not that's totally understandable! Thank you for all of the work you already put into it! 🫶🏻🫶🏻

Kia Lyons · September 24, 2025

Thank you, I have been looking for something like this forever! would it be hard to expand elders to at least 90 years? and also open up the ages so all ages are available regardless of life stage. I normally do preteens at 11 and 12 and with the current set up I cant select this age.

e
ellesimsworld · September 25, 2025

Hi there, thanks for your comment. It wouldn’t be hard, but understand it is time consuming. I look to extend the elder ages in a future update. I haven’t decided what age I am willing to go up to as yet. Also as it relates to making all ages available, the reason I did not do this is because of the extreme pie menu lag it can cause. That’s why I set the ages according to their stages. I can’t make any promises on opening the ages up; many persons have came to me about customizations that they want to me to make to this mod to fit in their game.

M

Đạt Trần Thành · September 22, 2025

is there a way for you to alter the mod so you can pick any age in any life stage rather than bind a range of number in each life stage, that way people can choose the age that fit to their gameplay

e
ellesimsworld · September 25, 2025

Hi there no, this can possibly cause extreme pie menu lag. I understand a lot of persons want different customizations for this mod to fit their game play but for now, the ages are only available according to their life stages.

Hi there, thank you and there will be a future update that extends the elder age slightly. But I can’t promise that stretching the age ranges will be a feature. I understand many persons want this mod customized in a way that fits their gameplay, but for now this is the standard

LuciaSims · September 22, 2025

I really adore this mod, its all I ever wanted... But, there is one problem though. I wish I could easily adjust the ages myself... I came from Germany and there the age categories are different: New-born: 0-4 weeks, Infant: From the 4th week of life to the end of the 1st year. Toddler: The 2nd and 3rd year of life. Children: From 4 to 14 years of age. Teen: 15 to 17 years of age. (reason: In Germany, you reach adulthood at 18 and you're therefore legally considered an adult. This brings with it a number of rights and responsibilities, such as the ability to enter into contracts, vote, and be fully responsible for your own actions. While the legal age is 18, the process of becoming an adult is often a fluid transition, and many people don't feel truly grown up until later in life.) (Note: The actual age of teens in Germany is 15-18, but I prefer 17 for teens and 18 the start of young adult.) Young Adult: 18-24 (In Germany it's actually 19-27, but I'm ok with 18-24) ✳️ Early Adulthood: 25 to 29 (In Germany it's actually 18-35, but I prefer it 25-29) You could add a Mid-Adulthood: ✳️ Mid-Adulthood: 30 to 55 years (Midlife crisis can happen from 30/40-55 years) ✳️ Late Adulthood/Middle Age: 56 to 64 years • Elders: 65 to 75 years You could also add, if you want: ✳️ Very Old: • Elders: 76 to 85 years old. (I wish EA adds more lifespan, or a way to add and customize lifespans would be best) The adulthood in Germany is different than I wrote: (Early (18–35), Mid (35–65) & High (65–80), but I prefer the way I wrote above. This are my suggestions and feedbacks. I'd love to translate your Mod into German too, but first I need to make sure how I can configurate/adjust and customize this life spans, the way I want. Thanks for reading my long comment. I really love your Mod, thanks in advance!

e
ellesimsworld · September 25, 2025

Hi there thank you for your comment. I understand many persons want this mod to have various customizations to fit into their particular gameplay/niche (as many of the comments reflect). But that just isn’t feasible. I appreciate the suggestion, but I hope you’re still able to enjoy the mod as is.

CosmicZephyrus · September 21, 2025

IF this mod is not showing up for you, chances are you did not install XML Injector. You MUST have XML Injector, which is stated at the VERY top if you cannot find it. It is not optional. Without that, it will not show up. Hope this helps :) Also you have to SHIFT CLICK your sim to get the "Timeline" Menu to show up :)

Just_imagine · September 21, 2025

😯 Thank you, it's amazing ! That's exactly what I needed 🥹😍 It's great for preteens, I could finally make teenagers and assign them 13-14 years old 😍 And for toddlers I made my family in the sims and I have a 13-month-old baby who walks like a toddler but a 4-year-old child... who was also a toddler because I thought that putting him as a child would be too big 🥲 so I had left my baby as an infant: And you just gave the solution 😌🥰🥇 And thank you for all the choices as a young adult or adult, I'm over 30 years old And I always create myself as a young adult 🫣🤭 I think it's great that we are in control and that it doesn't change automatically, I like to imagine how old they are exactly during my game! I know it's a mod that brings a little detail without changing the gameplay but I really like it! Good job 👏🏽 💖

San · September 19, 2025

Hi creator, first of all, I want to say that your mod looks good. By any chance, are you planning to add more for seniors in the future? That's from 76 to 120. I know this request is going to sound crazy, but I'm basing it on the information here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_verified_oldest_people. List of verified people who live or have lived to be over 100 years old. Fun fact: Queen Elizabeth II's mother lived to 101. I know these cases are less common, but it would be interesting to add older ages, if possible, if it's not too much trouble, please. Thank you. Sorry for the translation, I don't speak English. 🙂

e
ellesimsworld · September 19, 2025

Hi there, no worries. But the chances of me going up to 100+, is very unlikely. If I were to increase the elder age it would be up to 85 at best. (Maybe 90, and that’s maybe). The process of creating these are kind of time consuming and tedious.

Perfect Cyan · September 16, 2025

Not sure if this has already been asked, but would you recommend removing the age traits before a sim passes away?

e
ellesimsworld · September 16, 2025

Hi there, that's more so a matter of personal preference on whether you want the Sim to die with their age trait. I haven't played with playable ghosts in a while, so i think they should maintain their traits? But, you can remove it if you would like. it's up to you.

K
KylaJaz · September 16, 2025

I love this! I wish it would automatically progress on its own so that when your sim ages up or goes a couple of sim days, you can see a change in the age. If that's already supposed to happen, it hasn't with mine. I had to reset hers on her age up from teen to YA.

e
ellesimsworld · September 16, 2025

Hi there, unfortunately not. This mod is mainly storytelling from the perspective of you assigning their age. Like it has above, this mod doesn’t impact autonomy. The idea of them automatically progressing sounds lovely, but having the ages (which are coded as traits in game) to rotate and shift is most likely impossible considering different life spans that persons play on.

MarshmellowKasuu · September 15, 2025

So, I play similarly with my seasons being 21 days long a piece, with my children & teens being able to have at least a full 'year' if playing normal lifespan & 2 'years' if playing long lifespan, does the mod parce out the active days the sim has left of that age group or is it similar to the commenter above and the span has to modded specifically? **TLDR does it automatically age them up along with the designated timeline e have set or is it hardcoded to be the sims4 vanilla versiom

I love this mod so much and I've been looking for one like this for years, but is there a way to have the young adult span go up to 30-35? Or be split into early/late young adulthood? I feel like 20-24 is extremely short or can we at least have the ability to use the early adulthood options on young adults as well? If you don't want these changes is there a way I can edit this myself?

e
