Calendars and Aging

I used MCCC to create custom age spans for my sims. They align imperfectly to about 2 years per week. I imagine that each rotation I am playing 7 days out of that two year span with each family.

So a sim's life span is basically this:

Birth week (pre conception to 6mos) includes pregnancy, newborn stage and infant birthday

Baby week (6mos to 2 years) starts in the infant stage and ends in the toddler stage.

Preschool week (2-4 yrs) mechanically a toddler all week

Kindergarten week (4-6 yrs) week of the child birthday and first days of school

Primary school week (6-8 yrs) child for a full week

Intermediate school week (8-10 yrs) child for full week again

Middle school week (10-13 yrs) week of the teen birthday

HS Freshman week (13-15 yrs) teen all week, first days of active high school

HS Upperclassmen week (15-17yrs) teen all week, always attend career day and prom

Graduation week (17-19 yrs) week of YA birthday, high school graduation, and applying to university

University Underclassmen and Upperclassmen rotations (19-22 yrs) I will play the student households for two weeks at a time for two rotations in a row so they have four terms in two rotations.

8 more weeks as YA (22-39 yrs)

Middle Aged week (39-41 yrs) week of Adult birthday

9 weeks as Adult (41-59 yrs)

Retirement week (59-61 yrs) week of elder birthday

8 weeks as young elders (61-77 yrs) If it suits the family story, this week they take a potion of youth and get a makeover to look older

8 more weeks as an elder (77-93 yrs) after this their traits and random chance decide what age they live to be
