Help, one of my sims isn't aging

I have noticed that if I "cheat" to make a townie selectable and move him/her into a household, that newly playable sim does not age...
Good heavens! People actually DO this??

i noticed than when one of my playable sims "married" an npc (the maid from strangetown). he aged, she didn't.
Apparently they do. Oy.
Making a Sim selectable is not the same as moving them in. No wonder people have problems. Do like syberspunk says and use Propose/Move in instead.
I was messing around not long ago with making dormies selectable in Uni. I noticed that there was a lot of weirdness, including the fact that they didn't get aspiration increases for fulfilling wants. Even if you cheated them to platinum, it would go back to zero at the top of the next hour. I suggest quitting without saving if you mess around like this.
If you want to move someone in who can't normally be invited to move in, like a townie teen (do all male teens fall in love with Meadow?) then invite her over, spawn the Tombstone of L and D and use it to add her to the family. At this point she can be grown up, either normally or with cheats, and your poor lovestruck Sim can marry her. I can't guarantee that this is totally safe, but at least she ages normally, or did in the base game when I tried it.

Or use Inge's teleporters to add to family, that's also safe.
Making Sims selectable does not change their family ID, so essentially you turn them in greeted, controllable visitors. And visitors do not age, or count as babysitters.

The driver in my game is gorgeous, and I have often wondered how I could get one of my females to meet him as I have a real lack of decent male DNA (lookswise anyway); but now I know this is bad, so thanks.
I have also always wondered if the Sims with hardcoded behaviour traits (like the streaker) pass the traits on if they do get the chance to produce offspring? Although I have no interest in most of the behaviours (such as the type of insanity the nannies show and the just plain weird jumping about by the cheerleaders, and the cow? I can't go there…) it has occurred to me that random streaking would be amusing.

Why not just hack a pregnancy with him as the donor? That way your sim doesn't even have to know him & you get all those precious hunky genetics.
jrd:
Insane behaviour is not passed on, it's controlled by the sim's character file. Only personality and DNA is passed on to future generations.
