Hey all, question

bit background so you know what i tried and all
So i downloaded a mod to alter aging from modthesims3 for occult stages
i opened the files and altered the ratio more to my own taste, but the witch was not listed (not shocked as normally the witch ages the same as all others)
ive always wanted to have a different aging rate for Witches as well, many games comics and all have witches going well past normal people naturally in aging
i copied the code for the others and changed the names into Witch, follow the same pattern given in all the others

nothing changed outside the others (which was a bit buggy cause my already existing vamp would never age while a new made one did age fitting my changes)(not that it mattered cause the existing one was given the immortal lifetime reward a sims day after as was planned)


so now coming to the main point
I asked on modthesims about if there was a known way to change a witch aging, the answer given, Nraas storyProgression has such a feature
ive never seen such a feature myself, ive opened the game and looked trough city hall and the computer but i cant find a thing about it, i asked about that, where i should find but day went by and nothing yet

so i figured on to the Nraas source (should have gone here the moment Nraas was mentioned XD) could someone point me out where this feature is?
and do note, i want this for all Witches not just the one i am playing with (not that there is a miss communication about that)

NRaas SP will allow you to set aging on or off based on caste membership, so in this case you would want an Automatic caste whose membership criteria is the witch occult state and set aging accordingly.

But while that's as selective as you could want it to be, it's still an on/off switch. There is no mechanism in SP to selectively change the rate of aging or lengths of age spans as specified by the Game Options.

The lifespan multipliers are reachable by Retuner, probably exactly the same tuning that the mod mentioned changes, but there isn't a setting I can see for witches. Only the occult states that already have differently defined age lengths.

I see, ive never really grasped the caste system that well
would it work by the multipliers system as well (i mean if its on/off i could just always set it as on i assume)

otherwise i would need to return to my original question, is there a mod or way to make witches have their own lifespan multiplier X)

There is no way to accomplish what you want.

seriously?? ive seen many mods adding new features so i figured something like this would have been possible just the same
kinda shocked that that its not possible o.o

i dont know much about scripting but even with that its not possible i guess if it has not been done before

I wish there was one for witches also but since Chain said it isn’t possible when I am able to play again I will have to figure out another way to manage my witches ages manually. I hadn’t asked about the possibility yet since I currently can’t play so thanks for asking :)
