Gradual Aging

Sul-sul!  I'm back with another slice of life type mod.  This one was so much fun to figure out!

____________________________________________________________

Features:

The Gradual Aging Mod allows your Young Adult and Adult Sims to gradually age from one life stage to another.  The in-game Adult and Elder wrinkle overlays will fade in over time, and sims may get periodic buffs - happy or sad - about how their body is changing.  There is a purchasable trait in the rewards store ("Ageless") that allows your Sims to be exempt from this aging process.  This mod is base game compatible.

There are two optional packages: gray hair and treatments.  If you have the optional hair package installed, gray hairs will slowly start to fade in after your Sim becomes an adult.  Treatments allow your Sims to fight the aging process by dyeing their hair and getting skincare treatments to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.  But watch out - the treatments may not always go as intended..

Requirements:

Gradual Aging is base game compatible, but requires the XML Injector.  If you do not already have a copy in your game, you can get it here.

Notes: The wrinkles will not show up in CAS because they are added as hidden buffs to your Sims in game.  They still exist in the world and in icons, but they won't appear when designing your Sim.  Also, the gray hair package is optional because the hair overlay doesn't mesh well with all hairs.  I made it in a way that it will look good (to me) on most maxis hairs, but unfortunately because of the variety in UV mapping, it isn't possible for me to make one overlay that works perfect on every hairstyle.  Depending on which hairs you use most often, you can decide whether you want to delete this package or not.

Thank you to patrons and to all who have supported me on my modding journey!  This hobby brings me so much joy, and I couldn't do it without the supportive Simming community.  <3

Until next time,
