A Sim may artificially lengthen their lifespan by eating [[Life Fruit]].

Unfortunately meals made with Life Fruit, such as Life Fruit Pancakes, do not have the same rejuvenating effect.

[[Ambrosia]], on the other hand, requires Life Fruit and [[Fishing (The Sims 3)|Death Fish]] as an ingredient and has a different rejuvenating effect; it instead resets the remaining days to age up.


Aging can also be turned off in the options menu to temporarily or permanently stop every Sim in town from aging.
