          True, True. I play with aging on but Once I have one sim who has mega cooking skills, gardening skills and fishing skills topped out, I can make Immortality and hand the item off to any of my other sims in other households (however, as far as I know the items gets deleted out of the inventory upon changing households without the help of mods like awesomemod). Once one sim hits the self-sufficient point, it's basically turning off aging. However, it took me 2 or 3 generations to get a sim with all 3 skills.
