Once you complete the Life Dreams and Legacies Quest your sims will begin to age automatically. Previously once the circle that appears around their face was full and red you needed to either age them to the next life stage or use LP to reverse them back to the beginning of the life stage they are currently at.
For example, if your adult sim was ready to age you would have had to make them a senior for free or use LP to reverse them back to the beginning of their adult stage.
Now, instead of costing LP you can reverse your sims back to the beginning of their life stage for FREE!
How does it work? To reverse their age all you need to do is wait until their time is up and the birthday cake appears above their head. Click on the birthday cake and the growing older pop up will appear, just click no if you do not want them to age. It will then ask you if you are sure you want to reset them to the beginning of that life stage, click yes if you do. Once you click yes the circle around their face on the simtracker will be empty ready for them to start ageing again!
This change is a great move as I know a lot of people were using far too many LP to keep their sims at the age they currently are- mostly so they can complete events! Although it does sort of make earning platinum orbs to pause your sims at their current life stage a bit pointless!
How many times can you reverse them? You can do this as many times as you want!
How long does a sim last in each stage before they automatically age?
Baby- 5 days
Toddler- 7 days
Preteen- 8 days
Teen- 12 days
Adult- 24 days
Senior- 9 days
A sim will only age when you are on the game and these times do not mean your sim will age after its been that many days, they need to do the amount of actions that add up to that many days first.
NOTE: You can still reverse your sim for free in 2020
You have 10 days to complete the Ice Sculpture hobby 12 times to unlock all 12 ice themed packs, you get a pack each time you complete the hobby collection:
Out of the 12 packs there are to unlock, 11 of those were prizes in the Secret Winter Wonderland Christmas 2015 Quest. If you completed each part of that quest you will have unlocked all those prizes so you will only have to complete the collection once to unlock the last pack!
Confused about time limited hobby events? This video explains how they work:

Once you have brought an ice pedestal you can find it in the inventory under hobby and career items to place in a house:
Who can do this hobby?
Adult sims, you can have a maximum of 15 sims completing this at once.
What are the options?
Practice Sculpting- 5 hours 45 minutes
Conjure Masterpiece- 8 hours
YOU NEED TO COMPLETE ALL FOUR ROWS TO GET ONE PACK!!
(12 ICE SCULPTURES= 1 PACK)
TIPS FOR FINDING THEM ALL IN THE TIME LIMIT:
I would recommend having one sim doing the longest option to try and level up quicker while other sims can do the shorter option to find the collectibles for the levels you have currently unlocked.
Have more than one sim working on it- I have 9
Remember to click start new collection at the top of the ice sculpture collection list once you have got all of the collectibles, as shown in this post
Once you have completed the collection for the first time you can have all sims on the shortest option, as once you reach level 6 all the items will be unlocked so the shortest option will help you earn more collectibles in the time limit!
Most importantly: just keep going! I know it’s annoying when you get the same one constantly but you will eventually get the ones you need and this event will probably return if you don’t manage to complete it this time!
HEALTH HUB – AEROBIC STEPS – ADULT SIMS ONLY – PRIZE: 2LP

You can have one sim completing this hobby using the steps at the Health Hub and you can also buy more aerobic stepsfrom the promotions r us store and place it in one of your sims houses.

I cannot find it in my home store to place it? You need to look in your inventory under the hobby and career items section
I cannot place the aerobic steps, it says its locked/ limited item, what do I do? You will have this problem if you try and place it from the new items tab, look in your inventory instead to be able to place the aerobic steps in one of your sims houses.
Once placed tap on it and select one of the options:
Warm Up- 4 hours 50 minutes
Shake It Off- 6 hours 30 minutes
Why can you only use one of the steps at the Health Hub? The other 4 can be used but only for 10 minutes, its like the main sim is taking a class but those sims aren’t doing the hobby
After the time has passed come back and click the exclamation mark above your sims head to find one of the aerobic collectibles. Every time your sims complete one of the options above their aerobic hobby skill level up percentage will increase, once they reach 100% they will level up, there are 6 levels. You need to reach level 6 to be able to unlock all of the aerobic collectibles, once unlocked you will be able to find them (then you can complete the collection to unlock one of the activewear outfits!
The table below shows the level up percentage for each option:
This may change in future updates

1LP
NOTE: only the first sim completing this hobby needs to get to level 6 to unlock all the collectibles, future sims will be able to find any collectible even if they are only on level 1 in this hobby (and they can do the shortest option to try and find the collectibles quicker!)
You won’t find a new collectible each time, you will get repeats, if this happens just keep going, you will find them eventually! If it is still taking too long you can use the lucky spin on the row where you cannot find the item, this will cost LPs, when you click on the LP button it will clear the row and give you a random collectible on that row so you aren’t guaranteed a new item (you will get back any other collectibles you already had in that row) Need to earn some LPs to use the lucky spin?
If you complete this hobby 7 times in the time limit you will unlock the 7 sets of activewear, so each time you complete the collection you will get one female adult and one male adult activewear outfit:
Tips for completing in the time limit
They have made this event a lot easier, it is still difficult but when I first tried to complete this I only just managed to reach level 6 by the end of the week so I got one outfit, they have changed this so you level up a lot quicker this time
I would recommend having one sim doing the 4 hour 30 minutes option 3 times and then the 6 hour 30 minutes option twice, that should get that sim to level 6 so you can complete the collection!
While that sim is levelling up have all your other sims doing the 4 hour 30 minute option (only until you get all the items that are unlocked until that first sim reaches level 6, then all your sims can just do the shortest option)
Have as many sims as possible completing this hobby event- I had 9, 8 at home and 1 at the health hub:
Remember to click start new collection at the top of the aerobics collection list once you have got all of the collectibles, as shown in this post
Once you have completed the collection for the first time you can have all sims on the shortest option, as once you reach level 6 all the items will be unlocked so the shortest option will help you earn more collectibles in the time limit!
NOTE: I don’t know whether they will bring this back as a time limited hobby event one day but I really hope they do as I didn’t manage to complete it!
The completed aerobics collection is shown below, once you complete the collection you need to click ‘start a new collection’ at the top of the hobby collection screen, this clears the board so you can complete the collection again to earn more rewards (you will only get the option to restart the hobby collection when you have completed the collection):
You will earn XPs when you complete a row in the hobby but tocomplete the collection you need to find all 12 of the collectibles
The reward for completing this collection is 2LP:
You will earn 2LP each time you complete this collection once the aerobics event has ended

QUEST IS COMPLETE!
Once you complete this quest the Aerobics Hobby Event will begin, there is a time limit of 7 days and each time you complete the hobby collection you will earn another activewear outfit for your male and female adult sims- there are 7 packs to earn. I’m not sure why there is a time limited hobby event as soon as we unlock the new Aerobics hobby- usually when we unlock a new hobby we just have to complete it once in a time limit to earn an extra prize so this is very difficult!
You can also now clean up the bathroom/changing room at the Health Hub:
Leaky Roof- 10 hours 25 minutes
Trash- 5 hours 5 minutes x2
Trash- 5 hours 15 minutes
Prize: Activewear
Where can I find it? In the wardrobe, under outfits for a male and female adult sims
Cost? Free
Is it worth it? I always love new clothes but if you don’t manage to complete in the time limit don’t worry as you can earn more activewear in the aerobics hobby event!

Some times are slightly different on my game, why is this?
Times may vary depending on the star rating of the item you are using as the higher star rating an item has the quicker you will complete a goal
Some times are really off/ different goals show for me, why is this? This will be because the quest has been updated recently, I try my best to keep these posts up to date but it is difficult as I cannot redo every quest each time the game is updated. If you notice any changes please let me know so I can update the post
This quest unlocks the aerobics hobby event, does the time limit start straight away once I have completed this quest?
Yes, the time limit for the hobby starts straight away once this quest is complete, you can click no when the hobby pop up appears but this does not stop the timer going down
Which means today on your game you will find a gift at the front of one of your houses. This will be a limited time prize that you missed out on or 20LPs if you already have all the prizes!
What did you get?
On one game I got the Unicorn Painting and on my other game I got 20LPs!
Check out my special fun fact video to celebrate their birthday here:
Previously once the circle that appears around their face was full and red you needed to either age them to the next life stage or use LP to reverse them back to the beginning of the life stage they are currently at.
