sims will not age
Invisigoth:
@Strangel, thanks for the info! I should have said groups.cache rather than objects.package for more clarity, but I just couldn't think of the name right then. Probably the result of never getting enough sleep. I always run with my objects.package set to read only. I learned very early on that the game doesn't like when you delete objects.package, and had to find it on the CD to make my game run. I never made that mistake again (trying to run the game with no objects.package file).
@Witch, the thumbnails packages are something that I know a bit about. I have deleted these files with no problem, other than a bit of lag when reentering the game. If you'd like another alternative that will only impact the CAS thumbnails package I've seen something called bodyshop mechanic on MTS2 I belive. It brags of a refresh thumbnails option. And of course there is the debugmode bodyshop option if you're just looking to refresh a few of them because you've modified something since it was generated (control and right click). But as I understand it the second two methods will NOT delete the old thumbnails.package. Of course I could be wrong about that part, but the methods are valid.
@Aubrey, are you certain that you're using the correct version of inteen? I've been running it since around the seasons release with no problems. There are some non kitten killer friendly FFS hacks, but Jordi has made compadable versions which you can find in Jordi's Chop Shop on the inteen site. This may make me unpopular on MATY but I love the kitten killer, I think it adds a lot of interesting new situations to the game, and works wonderfully with ACR creating a much less predictable game. Using it, however, does require a bit of extra effort in the hack conflict department of course, but even as a hack novice I've been able to manage with no problems (yet!). I don't keep up on the kitten killer support forum because the old site's support forum was too full of idiots who didn't RTFM, so I am not up to date on the issues that people have been having recently. Is the aging thing happening in a lot of games or is it more like a bizarre fluke that only effects certain configurations? Have you done a search at inteen for more information on this problem?

ACR is enough hard work for me! As it is, in a previous (now demised) Veronaville, Moth (nee Bottom) Summerdream came home from school and did her homework. Puck had previously brought their friend Benedick Monty home from school, then gone off to work, leaving Benedick at a loose end. Moth finished her homework, grew up and marched Benedick off to her mother's bedroom for woohoo! I was somewhat stunned by this, most of my YA's take quite a bit of pushing even to get the LB's....

strangel- most definately am using the latest version. i think i downloaded it 10 times trying to make up my mind if i really wanted it. then deleting it because i didn't know what i was doing. then changing my mind. then the freakin' aging problem. trying again. it was junk townies. i found it in the middle of a list burried at the bottom of the rtfm. the rtfm is so involved and complicated i just missed it until i knew exactly what i was looking for. the way it usually happens.

Life's too short for rtfm's like that!

Ah, thanks for the information. Now I see why I've never had the problems that you're describing, I never play with the Maxis hoods. It probably doesn't hurt that I use clean templates and all of JM's hacks that control townie/NPC/etc spawning. But yeah, it sounds like fixing the junk townie problem in your hood could be a potentially huge task. Not really worth the effort. You could always try Jenflower's woohooteens, as I understand it hers is a much less invasive mod, but it doesn't allow teen pregnancy.
