Luckily for Simmers, it is possible to halt the aging process by visiting the game menu. For this purpose, go to game options and select the ‘Gameplay’ tab. Next, select Auto Age (Played Sims), followed by selecting ‘No.’
Having said that, it is important to remember that it might be shocking for Sims to see their best friends or love interests too old after a certain period of time. It’s also worth remembering that players can remove this aging pause, allowing their Sims to resume their natural aging process.

Furthermore, Simmers who don’t want their Sims to stop aging completely have the option to use a certain anti-aging potion, The Potion of Youth. This magical potion has the remarkable ability to rewind a Sim to the beginning of their current life stage. For example, if an elderly Sim drinks the potion, they will remain in that elderly stage but will essentially start that stage anew.
However, the Potion of Youth is quite expensive andrequires 1500 satisfaction points. Players can get this silvery translucent liquid from the Aspiration Reward shop. It is pertinent to mention that this potion does not stop aging; it just resets the current life stage of a Sim.
