This mod was first uploaded to my section in the InTeen forum.
The included text file just has the text from the original thread at the InTeen forum… no need to really read it. I just want to make sure there is some documentation in the zip.
Screenshot is yanked from the Aspyr press release for TS2 since I always forget to make screencaps :p

Is this likely to conflict with other aging mods?

That depends on what they interfere with. This one only affects the age transition call BHAV, not the other parts of aging or the actual age transition itself. I specifically left out anything not directly related to this to ensure a minimal risk of conflict.

I am not aware of any mod which touches this BHAV. Twojeff's and Inge's mods don't conflict, and neither does the InTeen or the aging abilities of the inSiminator; but any mod which modifies the same BHAV will. Run the HCDU to be sure. If you find a conflict please let me know, I should be able to whip up a compatible version.

This still doesnt really cancel out the annoying fact that you have to have your parties at the evening, which makes for poorer photo-oppurtunities. Wouldnt it have been easier to make a cake that you can blow out and eat without aging?

That's a request for a hacked object (a birthday cake without the birthday effect), and not related to this global mod.

I'm very familiar with the lost day annoyance, so I'll be sure to give it a try.
I don't use any weird againg mods, so I guess I'm safe.

Uh, I'll give it a try.

Sims always automatically get older at 18:00h, even if you're giving a birthday party.
With this mod in place, they don't. That way you can use the birthday cake even after 18:00h.
If you do not have this mod, either the Sim ages automatically at 18:00h and the party fails, or you have to use the cake earlier, and your Sim loses a day when 18:00h strikes.

GREAT idea!

HOWEVER: I have tested this and it does n o t work for me. The "age transition" action disappears altogether, so I cannot cancel it. My sims are still aging at 18 00 ! I usually start the party at 15 00, so that should give it plenty of time.

I have all expansion packs up to seasons. I have no other mods that affect aging or parties. Anyone else reporting this?

Found an issue with this, it seems teens and adults use yet another kind of aging. So this will only work right for toddlers and kids.
A fix is in the works.
