Attempting To Reflect RL In Sims 3 Is A Nightmare
So, I used to make it 3 days per season, and 12 days per year. Then, they had realistic lifespans, where they'd be in their eighties when dying of old age, unless they had good habits that extended their lives.
But, I experienced that having a holiday around every 3 days, caused there to commonly be weeks where they were barely in school or work for 3 days out of 7. They couldn't pay their bills. And, the kids weren't really getting educated RP-wise. It was insane how much they used the seasonal holidays to get out of school or work. And, I couldn't make them go in when the school, or their boss said to take the holiday off.
So, I just worked out another aging system that's realistic that extended the years to make them in school more of each week, putting more days between holidays. Problem now is that they're lucky to live to their 57th birthday. And, I want to use this, because I can't stand them missing work 4 days out of most every 7. And, I know if I use this, my older family members are going to get mad at me, rightfully.
:(
I haven't even looked at how unrealistic the aging is in Sims 4 yet.
I might have to just stop touching Sims 3 because it's such a nightmare.
I really wished Sims had realistic lifespans, and time passing.
The reworking is 8 days per season, instead of 3, making it so there can be a lunar passing every season. (I can't stand having a full moon every 2 days. Some sims refuse to sleep during full moons, and other weird behaviors over it.)
