Inge's age duration hack: how to modify?

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.
3 questions
1. How many lines does elder have? I assumed it was 2 based on TwoJeffs adult/elder bonus swap hack and edited accordingly. (I use Inge's agecons but looked at TwoJeffs and decided editing the bonus/penalties was easier.)
2. Does the game actually use these values or was that part of the coding left out? I have a vague memory of reading that it was meant to do this but doesn't.
3. I have successfully made the baby stage 1 day shorter. Why does it work for me and not you/others?
jrd:
1: dunno. I never took a look at it since it was first released.
2: See 1
3: See 1. If it works now, that's good news -- back when Inge first extracted it it seemed not to work.
Inge:
Lol it's ok I was just messing about :)
Yeah I am afraid I don't know any more about where the age things are used than I already said. Originally I only put them online cos I had extracted them to experiment with and suddenly everyone was asking me how to extract them - it was easier to do it and let them download them ready extracted.
Lana B:
Cool, 3 answers in 1 and I even managed to remember something which probably didn't happen. This calls for testing, which I may get around to one day.
AnnaM:
Lana, the thread about TwoJeff's adult/elder age hack has the most complete information on these values that I've been able to find, both by TJ himself and by others -- including specific discussion of Inge's hack, in fact. It's longish but worth reading.
(From memory, elders have 2 lines but there are then 4 or 5 lines further down that determine the aspiration bonus; and the very last values are for PlantSim age categories. But as I said, it's worth reading the thread, which has all the details.)
