Glitches fixed:

-Occasional double updates could happen

-Cheap dye did not render hair colors for eyebrows, beard, bodyhair according to age (was only a bit off)

-Adult to elder birthday did update sims but not trigger a visual refresh. There is still a significant delay



Changes:

-Workout fatigue walkstyle only if mod is switched on for sim

-Stricter gating in several parts of the mod.



Color tweaks

-Grey mixer uses a slightly lower saturation to avoid pink-ish and orange-ish tones in the greying process (red-ish tones like chestnut and ginger hair colors looked unnatural)

-Target color for greying hair is a slightly warmer grey instead of computer grey to avoid blueish appearance of grey hair streaks. I'm using RGB 195,185,185 instead of 190,190,190.





27 Dec 2013 - Version 1.1 released

Glitches fixed:

-Recoded procedure of applying hair colors to Sims.

The mod will now play nice with different hairdos for different outfits and outfit indexes (Everyday1, Everyday2 and such)

Thanks Datch for the bug report.

-Performance tweaking: The mod does not re-apply age weathering if it believes it was already applied. Elders beyond whitepoint only have their hair color updated every 4th day.

-Mod now works on aliens (request by MeiXin, thanks). I hope that works without trouble.



23 Dec 2013 - Version 1 released





What this mod does



This mod updates adults and elders every night to simulate an ageing process.

You are free to run the mod on everyone or just selected Sims.









-Sims gradually get gray hair

-Sims get wrinkles and stuff (age weathering) according to their age

-Some walkstyle adjustments (young elders are more agile)

-Sims have the option to dye their hair if they are unhappy with their greying hair



Activating the mod



The mod is not active by default.

Every adult and elder has a ConsortAge sim-menu where you can activate the mod.



Uninstalling the mod



Please use the !CLEAN UP option before you delete the mod.

Also disable the Mod before you copy Sims to the sim bin.

If everything goes wrong, the mod offers cheat command that tries to undo changes.





Sim Menu





Enable Mod for $Name

Updates the Sim according to her age and adds him to the list of nightly updates



Disable Mod for $Name

Updates the Sim with cached values to undo changes.



Enable mod for all Sims in Town

Cycles through all relevant Sims and applies Age features.

The mod will now run nightly updates on ALL new found adults and elders unless you specifically have disabled the mod for them.



!CLEAN UP (Undo Mod for all Sims in Town)

Cycles through all relevant Sims currently present in your town and restores non-modded values for them.

Turns off nightly updates



Info

This is how you can find out if the mod is active for a specific Sim plus some mod related stuff.



Dye Grey Hair (cheap)

Dye Grey Hair (expensive)

-Not available for active Sims. Please use any mirror or spa.

-Only available if the Mod is on for the specific sim



Force dyes the townie's hair to make them look younger







Dyeing Hair



Some Sims feel too young to have grey hair. Luckily modern chemistry offers amazing solutions:



Dye Grey Hair Cheap (§29.98)



Available with every Mirror



Your Sim will apply Grey-Gon-Goo(tm) to their face hair.

Grey-Gon-Goo(tm) Landgraab Industries(tm) latest and bestest hair-encancement product. Absolutely nothing can go wrong.

However, page 42 of the Grey-Gon-Goo(tm) End User License Agreement (included in the box) states that "user experience may vary."

Grey-Gon-Goo should not be applied near eyes, mouth or pubic areas and must be kept out of reach of children.



Dye Grey Hair Expensive (§300)



Available at the Spa



Your Sim will be offered a coffee while waiting. Along with a leaflet stating that "Home dyeing is killing the DaySpa industry!"

I hear they do a a really good job.





Nighghtly updates

They get triggered at 1 a.m. and might take a while.

If you run the game on a weak CPU you might see some choppyness around that time.



Birthdays

The adult to elder birthday first turns your Sim into an ordinary elder. The mod will run an update within an hour or so.



Cheats

There are some cheats you can type in via the cheat console. You should not need them but they might be useful.



age clean

The mod keeps data for Sims it has modified and will not delete it for 21 sim-days. This data can be force flushed by typing the above command



age fix $firstname $lastname

Tries to restore original hair and removes all age weathering for a Sim.

Try to remember to switch off the mod for Sims you export and before you uninstall the mod, so hopefully you will not need this.

"*" runs on all Sims, handle with great care.



XML Tuning

The ConsortAgeTuning.package is optional. You only need it if you wish to modify it.



kXMLstring

Name your XML file. The string gets displayed when the mod loads.



kWhitepointPercent

Percent of elder agespan when Sims reach EA-style grey hair





The following values determine the timing of the greying hair process:



kFunctRoot

Scalp and Beard Root color

kFunctBase

Scalp and Beard Base color

kFunctHighlight

Scalp and Beard Highlight color

kFunctTips

Scalp and Beard Tips color

kFunctEyebrowBody

Eyebrow and Bodyhair color



The format is x1, y1, x2, y2

The x axis represents the time between Adult birthday and the age determined by kWhitePointPercent as a scale of 0 to 1

the y axis represents the grey amount with 0=original hair color 1=grey hair color



Example: <kFunctTips value = ".5, 0, .75, 1">

The Tips of the head- and beard color will be unchanged (0) until they begin their greying process half way (.5) between adult birthday and the age defined by kwhitepoint.

The Tips will reach full greyness (1) at three quarters (.75) the way between adult birthday and kwhitepoint.



kCheapDyeCost

kExpensiveDyeCost

§ Cost of dyeing hair for active Sims



kDyeTimeoutDaysActive

kDyeTimeoutDaysTownie

Dyed hair will switch back to greying hair after this amount of days







The following values represent the CASP ResourceKey Instances of the Age Weathering the mod will apply.

Values must be Hex number format. CASPart should be of type AgeWeathering.

Change these values if you wish to link up custom age weathering or test your own creations.

The mod is using 3 custom age weatherings for each AM and AF, this stuff is included in the .package.

Age weatherings (wrinkles and liver spots) for elders point at EA CASPs.





kAMWeathering1

Adult Male 1

kAMWeathering2

Adult Male 2

kAMWeathering3

Adult Male 3

kAFWeathering1

Adult Female 1

kAFWeathering2

Adult Female 2

kAFWeathering3

Adult Female 3

kEMWeathering1

Elder Male wrinkles

kEWeathering2

Elder Liver Spots

kEFWeathering1

Elder Female wrinkles







Compatibility

This is a pure scripting mod and should play nice with all other mods, custom content etc.

The mod most likely works with earlier patches than 1.63, but you're on your own there. I can't test or fix things in earlier patch versions.



Thanks

Special <3 to Inge for the hair-counselling and coding suggestions!
