I don't think this would get you a dream date...

One nice thing about my style of playing with aging off (I just carry the Bayfield family through all kinds of situations. Justin is an off-shoot of that, through Joe's affair with Bella) is that I don't have to turn them into wrinkly stooped over sim-elders. I enjoy AllenABQ's (did I get that name right?) custom skins on my adult males too much for that!

Oh, I can't play with Aging Off for very long. I LOVE my elder sims! They're so much fun, especially as grandparents, and they generally get into a whole love-related wants thing with their spouses. Maybe part of my thing with the grandparents is that my own kids were fairly deprived of theirs when they were quite young. My mom passed away when my oldest was 3; my dad was with us until this last winter but we didn't get to be with him as much as I would've liked; my husband's dad was an absolute control freak who wanted nothing to do with his grandkids and completely monopolized hubby's mom. He passed away about a year-and-a-half ago so my kids (ages 19, 16 and 7) are just now getting to build a relationship with their only surviving grandmother. It makes me a bit sad when they die, but at the same time it's like parting with someone in real life: they've had a long, fulfilled life so that knowledge is comforting to me.

I've also noticed that some Sims are no longer getting the engaged want. I had one couple on a date and although the female wanted to get engaged to the male, the male just wanted to marry the female. She's Knowledge, he's Family. They got engaged on the date, but she didn't roll-up the get married want.
They were at Uni then and they moved into a new house together after graduating. The Family Sim continued to want to get married, but the female Knowledge still hasn't rolled the want to get hitched. When she arrived at the new place, what she actually wanted to do was woo-hoo in bed, so I satisfied that for her. She enjoyed it so much, she immediately wanted to do it again.
Most of my sims don't get the engaged wnat period, for someone or just in general, and i've only had one or two marry soemone specific wants in a while, the family sims will usually roll the generic get married want even when they are engaged, it drives me nuts!

I've got elders in my game; Joe's parents are very much alive, and they do the grandparent thing well. I didn't mean to imply that I didn't like elders. I just play my game more in real-time (except for the 72 hour pregnancies, 3 day infancy, etc.) so that when they reach the adult stage they don't have to age until I want them to. When I first got the game a year ago, I started with my Bayfield family, with Gregory and Maryann as the parents and Joe and his brother Gary as their children. Another brother, Jeffrey, was born later. I played Joe and Gary with aging on until they reached adulthood, at which point I turned aging off. Their parents transitioned into elders once Joe began having kids. My game is basically centered around this family, and these characters and all kinds of interesting scenarios. Sure, many of Joe's offspring look the same age as Joe, but I don't mind. After all, this is a game where the men can be abducted from looking through a telescope, then impregnated. And now we have vampires. To me, the non-aging is just another fantasy-world element. It's kind of nice, because each sim gets a real sense of history.
