I'm all about the aging off. I have a really hard time letting any of my sims die too, but I'm forcing myself onward with that sort of thing in this story. So far, so good. I've let Buzz, Loki, and Olive go. P.T. has to go sometime, and I don't look forward to it. The longer I write this, the harder it will be to let anyone die, but if that's the way it plays out, I'll have to go with it. I'll try not to be too much of a bloodthirsty writer, though.
