 Aging up is one thing - aging down or preventing aging is quite another.
-Unfortunately, TS3 includes no "setage" cheat like TS2 did, so de-aging a sim from one age group to another is not really doable.  [http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,15185.0.html JM Pescado's Awesomemod] does allow you to take sims back to Create a Sim and technically you can change their age there, but it is not recommended or supported.

 * '''Exploit/Trick:''' Life Fruit normally gives back one day of youth, and Ambrosia usually gives back two weeks.  However, if you change the sim's lifespan in the game options, they'll still have the same ''percentage'' of time to the next age transition.  You can get more time out of your Lifefruit and Ambrosia by changing the lifespan slider in the options to Short before consuming Life Fruit/Ambrosia, and then change it back to how you had it before.  Obviously, this won't work if you're already playing with Short lifespans.

 ==Birthdays==
-There are three ways to have a birthday.
 ===Cake!===
 If you buy a birthday cake from Buy -> By Function -> Entertainment -> Parties, then any sim can blow out the candles at any time - it doesn't have to be their birthday! If you choose to have a sim blow out the candles, then they will skip the rest of their current age, and move on to the next one instantly.
 ===Birthdays===
 If you wait for a sim to reach their natural birthday, they will age up automatically.
 ===Cheat===
-If you want to age up your sim immediately, but don't want to use a cake, you can do so thus:
 * Hit '''Ctrl-Shift-C''' (or Ctrl-Windows key-Shift-C in Vista) to bring up the cheat box
 * Type in ''testingcheatsenabled true''
 * Hold down shift and click the sim you want to age up, then click "Trigger Age Transition". '''Be warned''', that once you've pressed the button you can't cancel the transition, and you can only age sims up - not back down again!
