I’m not sure if anyone has already written about this, but I’m missing an additional option for families played by the player, like in The Sims 4. I usually play multiple families in turns, and now I can set aging separately for the active family and families living in the town. I don’t count families waiting in the library because they basically don’t appear.

I would like to have the ability to separately disable aging for my played families that are currently inactive.

So the idea is:

- the currently selected active family ages,

- my played but inactive families don’t age,

- the remaining unused town families age.

Phew… I hope that’s clear 😆

That would be really great. I fully support it.
