I knew you can track how many days have pasted ingame by looking at your scrapbook memories. But I didn't know that if you hover over the day/time block it also shows you. Mine is 46 weeks and 2 days.

46 weeks?! How many generations have you been through?! Power to you, @johnny33 !

Only on my 3rd generation lol. I'm more of a "play only 1 sim and max out their skills/careers" type of simmer. But I got bored so I decided to give the family life a try.

OMG that's 4 in game years that have past! What current generation are you on? Also I just moved to Moonlight Falls, probably my favorite EA made world.

No idea, I moved around to another neighbor alot and thus refreshing the week count back to 0.

For comparison the average sim life expectancy in my game is 450~ days, and I'm on a 5th generations at the moment.

Changing families resets the counter? I did not know this.

I didnt change family, I mean I changed neighborhood. was typo though.

My oldest vampire sims is around 1700 simdays so I guess that's the longest running save file in my game

I am also on the 3rd generation since my lifespans are realistic in a TS3 edition way. Before that though, I had mostly played with aging off. But this way time can progress and I don't feel rushed playing through the stories of life. Gives me so much time to get to know the Sims and learn that much more about each Sim A.I.

Seasons

Spring (93 days)
Summer (94 days)
Autumn (89 days)
Winter (89 days)
Year (365 days)

Infant (93 days)
Toddler (1,460 days)
Child (2,920 days)
Teen (2,555 days)
Young Adult (7,300 days)
Adult (9,125 days)
Elder (13,140 days)
Lifespan (36,593 days)

Pregnancy

Hours of Pregnancy (6,574)
Hours to Show Fully Pregnant (5,843)
Hours to Show Pregnant Buff (1,460)
Hours to Start Contractions (6,572)
Hours to Start Pregnant Motives (730)
Hours to Start Walking Pregnant (5,847)

Kittens, Puppies, Foals (186 days)
Adult Cats and Dogs (3,650 days)
Elder Cats and Dogs (3, 650 days)
Cats and Dogs Lifespan (7,486 days)

Adult Horses (6,570 days)
Elder Horses (4,380 days)
Horses Lifespan (11,136 days)

I still have to change pet pregnancies and relearn how to adjust minor pets lifespans.

I am also getting better at managing my save and one of the things I learned to do is to limit how many children at a time a Sim can autonomously try for a baby. Because before there was quite the baby boom, but now no more trying for babies once 4 household members occupies the residence.

Nice! That sounds epic as heck. Also it does look like you had quite the baby boom with all the sims in your household, I get stressed managing more than two.

I've always played the same Sunset Valley game for about 12 years now on and off, but every few years I transfer everyone to a brand new Sunset Valley just to see if it'll help with save file bloat and load times. I'm on Week 35, Day 9 of my current Sunset Valley from 2018.

I have yet to even make it past one sim-year. I keep getting new ideas and starting over. LOL!! Vicious cycle.

I'm going to start a generation/legacy family so I'll see how far down the family tree I can go without getting bored and starting a new save file. I like the occult states so I might mix the gene pool with them all.

Nine years lol

After enjoying some fine blended Kentucky Nectar, I recently inadvertently saved over my longest running save.
