I've had the Grow mod installed for well over a year in RL (thanks Consort!) and can't say I've noticed any lag at all but then I don't have a heavily populated world. Think I only have about twenty children and teens in total which are the only ages the mod changes so it's all good for me.

@Sarah: Good point. I have between 80 and 100 residents, and probably 20-25 of them are are children or teens. So that's not too bad.

When my patroness finally decides to breed, maybe I'll install it and see.

Age also looks amazing.

I just downloaded Consort1's growth mod and when I unzipped it there is a package for the birthday cake. I never use the birthday cake for aging up so just wondered if I need that package or if I can install the other packages without that particular one.

Bet the mod needs his cake for the age up/spin process. I've put it in but haven't activated anything yet.

I just added them all and activated the mod for the whole town. One of my teens aged up last night - without the mod in, and today, with the mod, I took her into CAS to fix her up and noticed she's a short teen LOL. It looks odd because I'm use to all my sims being the same height. This one is on the shorter side. Interesting

Oh wow, LL, that sounds awesome. Also, I went back in to the mod page and he has spoilers in there that explain what the files are. The ConsortModGrowBirthdayCake.package (optional) and is an override for the original cake.
This is a script override for the original birthday cake in the game.

Perfect, so I don't need that one. Thanks brappl. My homeless kids are aging up to teens and remodeling the house with all the money they made as kids. Now the teens are dumpster diving to furnish the house and make money. I just wish I could find more raggy clothing for homeless sims, especially teens and kids.

Try using the color wheel in CAS to apply dismal off colors on the current rags they are wearing. I think I gave you what I had for raggy clothing but I'll see if I have some more saved on my external.

I'm still tracking down family inventories and money (and they had plenty of it) for the clan I portered to Brightwater. I'm still laughing over looking in Cupcakes inventory and found a wealth of goodies he had stashed away after the move. And it wasn't his doggie stuff, lol.

LOL - does igazor know that cupcake has been stealing things?

Ha Ha ... he does now (although I suspect igazor has him trained for that). Funny thing about it I do not know how he got portered along with all the others. He was living with igazor in the game. I'll have to reunite the two when I put the NRaas folks in my new town.
