Joria you got your Ages wrong, those are in EPIC Lifespan. Granny Shue is only 83 on normal game lengh.

If they really are that old, I am sure they won't be allowed on Dynasties.

When I was going through the Townie households, most of the sims were going to age up in 11, 12 or 13 days. Thats on a 90 day lifespan.

[Joria]

Phooey!  I'll go check and see.  I almost always have it on Long unless I'm exploring and that's exactly what I was doing.  Never thought it would mess with aging up time.  Heck, wasn't thinking at all.  Just enjoying!  So I can post the rest of the names with the traits and whether they are single or not but leave out the age up time if someone wants them.  Too lazy to go back and check all those folks again.

Thanks for the list, Joria! Take your time with that infected finger, though. I don't know if anyone else wants the ages, but I don't find myself needing it so don't worry about posting it for me.

I was doing research for Metro for the Fountain of Youth and my results that if you drink from it your Sim becomes a day younger and gets a Moodlet. One Day More - It's true, you can live forever. It lasts for 12 Hours and gives a +30 Mood. I worked out that you can drink from the Fountain twice in one day. Children can also drinking from the Fountain and gain the same benefits.

As for Wish for Youth, it never happened. I tried at least 50 Times, 3/4 of the time the stupid Sayings/Phrases came up and 1/4 of the time it gave her the Childish Trait which she already had so it didn't work. So I think it very random/unlikely for the Wish to come true.

Just how *long* does it take for this world to download? I think it's going on 3 hours and the little thingy is still spinning. I have a MAC and I am trying to load from my purchase history page.

If anyone has a better idea how to load it, that would be great. I am running version 1.24.3.012017.

I also want to know how long it took to download because It feels like I've been waiting in the download dashboard forever.

Go to your online account look for the record where you purchased the items, click on that icon (download) and it installs automatically in a few seconds. Close your game first though. This works for MAC I don't know about PC. And BTW, the EA help desk WASN'T!!! I figured this out after trying everything else...

I'm on a laptop with Windows 7, and it took around 10-15 minutes for me to download to the game launcher, and around one minute to install. I was quite surprised, I thought it would take at least half an hour.

Mine took very little time to download.  I wasn't timing it, but I'm sure it wasn't any more than 10 - 15 minutes as amyrose reported.  It really didn't even seem that long, I would have guessed less than 10 minutes.  I have Windows Vista.

I have a problem. I placed my fountain in Meadow Lake and it's not working. I took Granny Shue there to take a drink (I'm playing on Long lifespan) and nothing happened. No moodlet, no popup, nothing. I can make her "Wish for Youth" and that seems to work properly. However, when I have her "Drink" nothing happens. She takes a drink and that's it. I've not had anyone else try to drink from the fountain, but I'm pretty upset that this object isn't working for me! I'm going to do a few more tests, but does anyone have any ideas in the meantime?

[imaGleek]

It finally downloaded  . I'm excited to play, but people paying with Canadian Dollars really get ripped off whe they buy simpoints.

[ratchie]

It only took mine a few minutes to download and around five minutes to install. I was also installing a couple of other items at the same time. I have windows vista and really fast broadband if that makes a difference.

I used Granny Shue and one of her kids to drink, both did it fine.

EDIT: If anyone wants to know anything about Hidden Springs before they buy it don't be afraid to ask me, I don't mind getting pictures or finding out stuff.
