The changes after loading the mod will happen for the newly made sims and pets. If you want to affect the lifespans of your active households, you have to also download Smart Age Correct by Lazy Duchess.
Smart Age Correct is an edit of Chris Hatch’s AgeCorrect mod. It will run the first time you open a neighborhood or if you swap lifespan mods, so if you want to see immediate effects, download that along with any lifespan mods.
