⚠️ If you haven't played with VERSION 1, click HERE to read it before continuing! ⚠️
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.
New Ages?!
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..)
New Milestone Buffs:
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 WORK
My 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 Panel where their age will change the next day!
IMPORTANT
IF YOU HAD THE MOD INSTALLED BEFORE, IN ORDER FOR AUTO AGING TO BEGIN, REMOVE YOUR SIMS' CURRENT AGES, THEN RE-ADD THEM!!!
⚠️ LIMITATIONS⚠️
🔴 Auto Aging only runs for the household you're currently playing. If you switch to another household, the timer will pause. When you come back, you'll need to reassign your Sims' ages to start the Auto Aging timer again. I'm still looking into the game files to see if I can find a workaround for this! 😕
AGING AT THE BIRTHDAY 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!
⚠️ LIMITATIONS⚠️
🔴 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.
For example:
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')
Grade Levels & Years
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!
Birth Order & Positions:
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
Generations:
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.

i would love if you could do a 4 week auto age version? T.T I have my calendar set to four weeks per season, 28 days per trimester... i will do anything your honor
hiii i just have a quick question, is it possible to make this mod compatible with SimMattically's Lifespan Adjuster? i think it would be really cool to sue together :3
ciao! ma a me non cambia il numero di età :(
I love this mod, it'd be so perfect for my history challenge, i wish there was a 4 day option, cos each year is 4 days in it
i love this so much!! i do a have a question though- would you ever unlock ages 18-19 for young adults? i know that 18-19 year olds are technically still teenagers, i just love sending my sims to university right after graduating high school
Thanks for making this mod! I was wondering if you'd be willing to make a 58 day and 112 day auto age lifespan. That way people who play with 14 and 21 day season lengths can have their sims live for 1 full year [4 seasons] before auto aging. tysm :)
Would it be possible to have the mod be configurable in game, like MCCC? The way I have my aging set up, 1 "sim year" is 56 days. I know that's probably extremely uncommon and you can't accommodate everyone, but I feel like being able to adjust the auto-age interval in game would satisfy the vast majority of users. Kind of the same thing for what ages are available for each life stage- I consider my YAs to start at 18, so being able to select 18 and 19 as "available" for them in settings would be infinitely amazing.
plz could u have more options for every so many days for auto age
I just found this mod, so happy! Question, a sim is pregnant for 3 days (i.e. 9 months) meaning 4 days is 1 year (12 months). Why don't you have an option for 4 days?
Hi for some reason my auto aging is not working :( I did everything in the steps. Does auto aging have to be off in the game for the mods auto aging to work?
I've been having this same issue.
Hey Ella! Wow what a mod! I was just wondering if you can just use the Birth Order & Positions addon without using the rest of the mod?
OMG I BEEN WAITING FOR THIS KIND OF MOD LOVA YA MODS ♥♥
I swear I love it so much! I just got one question tho, which packs do I need for the icons to show (It shows me the white lama icon for the grades and born position) :)
question, if I want the birthday cake addon but no auto aging can I add those into the no auto age file?
didn't know about testing cheats to use mod
I can't wait to use this mod, thank you so much for creating! I have a question about the Young Adult life stage versus the Early Adult life stage. If I want my YA life stage to be from age 20-35, does that mean I do NOT download the Early Adult life stage option at all?
Thank you so so much! Are you by any chance planning to add the young adult extension, so they can be marked as 25-39?
Love how this mod is looking and am excited to play with it! I just have one question about the auto aging. For infants if I chose aging every 2 days would that mean they don't age until 22 days since the aging for infants goes until 11 months. Just want to ask because I don't want my infants to age too slow and/or to fast.
Also wondering this!
i would love a 4 day age change. it would pair will with the ultimate decades challenge.
WHOOOHOOO 😊
i chose tp download 'no auto age' am i still able to download the addons aswell? (ex: generations and grade levels) or will that conflict?
i love this mod and the 2.0 update seems great!!! thank you for your work
Hi thank you for this mod! I just want the generations, grade levels, and birth order labels. I downloaded the core and addons, but do I also need the "no auto aging" file or can I just skip that since I don't need the ages for my game?
This is such an incredible mod and i really appreciate the clear instructions for it it makes it so easy to understand and install
That's A-MA-ZING!! Been wishing to a 3 or 4 days auto aging for it to fit my MCCC age setting though...
Agreed I would love a 4 or 5 day option!!!!
Hi, thank you for your hard and amazing work! I translated the mod into French and made a review with FR explanations as well if you wanna add it to the available translations links :) https://modsims4.fr/ellesimsworld/#timelines ; have a nice day!
Thank you for extending the ages I needed 13 & 14 under kids so bad and ofc the elderly
this is amazing elle ! the auto aging is so cool !
is there any way i can change the interval? i'd like my sims auto age after 4 days
Can't wait to play with this version! TY love!
Amazing concept! I love everything about the mod. I have one very ignorable request. Is there a way to have a cycle between the 2 and 7 day lengths? like 4 or 5. Two is too short for my infant-child and 7 is too long for my young adult - elders and my ocd won't allow for the mom to go through 3 years before the kid ages one year.
This is AMAZING Elle love!! Thank you soooo much for your hard work and giving this to us!!
is this version compatible with the newest update?
HI! Is there anyway to track the auto-aging progress or do we have to wait for the notification the day before their birthday? Like, is there a way to know in more advance?
LITERAL BEASTT!!!
This is amazing!!! Thank you Elle. I do have a question. I play my worlds on 28 days per seasons and made my sims wait the year (112 days) before I manually aged them up with your timeline 1.0 mod. Is the auto age a requirement since the longest is 21 days or is this optional and I can remove and age up with the new birthday cake feature?
Hi there! Thank you! I recently just added a version for those who don't want to play with auto aging. It's the ellesimsworld_No_Auto_Age.zip above! You can also remove the birthday cake feature too if you'd like!🤍
Trying this out now, thank you Elle!
Hope you enjoy Shan! 🥹
Hi Love the mod! is there going to be an option without auto aging? I play VERY long lifespans and I love everything else in the update the 21 days just isn't long enough
Hi there, I added a no auto age version there yesterday for those who want to play with it off! 🤍
this is so good!!
I love this already! Just to make sure because I didn't see it in the description, do we have to remove Timelines 1.0 before we install this one?
Thank you!! And yes! I completely forgot, remove the older version! Also, for auto aging to begin, remove the ages from your Sims and re-add them. I'll add that to the post, thanks for pointing that out!
i loveeeeeeeeee thisssss...
Thank you!! Hope you enjoy!
You’re amazing!!!!
Thank you so much!
OMG YAY😭😭 THE SCHOOL YEAR ADD ON
I remembered your comment lol! hope you enjoy!
