Inge's age duration hack: how to modify?
AnnaM:
After reading an old thread on this forum, I've decided to try Inge's age duration hack (found here http://www.simlogical.com/sl/Sims2Pages/Sims2_Aging.htm). It needs to be modified in SimPE. In a discussion thread, Inge says that once it's open in SimPE it will show 2 columns: labels and values.
I've opened the file in SimPE and the only way I can see anything at all is in the Hex editor, and it's extremely confusing. The comment about "2 columns" seems to refer to something different from the hex editor.
I've done a search and while I found out that some people here use this hack, I haven't found specific instructions: could anybody tell me how I should go about modifying it?
Many thanks in advance.
Note: I didn't ask on Inge's forums because (a) I don't want to have to create Yet Another Login that I will probably never use again after this; (b) The thread in Inge's forum has been there for a long time but it is not very informative; (c) People here are very helpful and knowledgeable; (d) There is no "d"; (e) I like it here ;)

You change the values. Each lifestage except elder has two values: low and high. Low is used for Sims growing up normally, high is used for Sims growing up in platinum. Add or detract from these values.
Babies can't be modified (the game ignores any changes you make), and what the multiple values for elders mean, I don't think anyone has really figured out.

You need to be in Plugin View.
Click on BCON on the left side and then Tuning on the right side.
On the bottom you will see a bunch of stuff, which will be conveniently labeled... babies, toddlers, etc. You change the values for these to whatever you want, keeping in mind that it's off by 1 (which Inge explains).
When you click on a line (e.g., Toddlers 1), look on the left. There are two boxes where you can enter data, which are labeled Hex and Dec. Dec is the one that shows actual number of days.
Inge:
Sorry you found my forum unhelpful and somewhere you would not wish to post more than once, Anna ;)
AnnaM:
LOL Inge! The "not posting more than once" is simply because I don't have any of your hacks (apart from this one now)... The "uninformative" referred to that specific thread, I don't know about the rest of the forum... but I find forums hard to handle anyway, so I have a low tolerance. I didn't mean to diss :)
