Rotation players: question

I usually play for about 3 days at a time and try to age up my sims at the same time.

I thought a lot of people did three days. I have always done five.

Why did you settle on three?

I usually play a season each or at the very minimal 3 days. I never play more than 5 days though.

I play each family for one season, which would be 5 days. :)

I think for me 3 days keeps each family interesting, I do play a family longer if its a bigger family and there's a lot going on so sometimes it is more like 5 days.

5 days because it's easier for me to catch that the season has changed than it is to remember how many days I've played a family for.

I do occasionally do an additional day if a Sim would give birth during that extra day. The next time they are played would however, be 1 day shorter since I only play to season change.

So most of you do 3-5 to avoid bordem or change of seasons. Interesting. I do 5 days just to keep the ages on a certain number (25 days to adult, 60 days old). I was curious what other folks did and why. Thanks!

Hi :)

If I'm playing rotational, I like to play 4 days (M-Th) and then 3 days. This way I have them split to do weekend activities/work and school activities.
I have Fridays as date nights, Saturdays as Community activities day, and Sunday as family days.

@Rflong7 That’s such a cute idea, I like your play style!

Playing through seasons, for me, is easier to keep track of when to rotate, as others have said. Plus, anything more than 5 days tends to feel a bit too long, especially since I take lots of pictures to post on my Tumblr.

I also do five day rotations (in general) when playing a rotational save as that is when the seasons change.
