In game time
Is it possible for in game time to go by in real life time like every minute IRL is a minute in game or can I do every minute IRL 5 minutes in game. I don't play yet but can y'all tell me please 😭🥺...
Forum Discussion
Well can I do every 1 hour in game is 5 minutes IRL. Because 24 hours in one day so by 5 is 120 minutes which is 2 hours IRL or what should I do.
@keke1253 You can't set specific speeds. There's just normal, fast, and faster - plus a sort of hidden fastest that you get when no one's awake on the lot, using the faster button.
- @PipMenace Oh ok thank you ☺️
@keke1253 Hi! I think when you start playing the game you'll see why in game time moves so quickly. If it were that close to real life it would take the rest of your life to play one sim. So, I totally agree with @LadyAofPineapple. That would probably get really boring really quickly. :-)
Even though you're not able to adjust the speed, as @PipMenace said, you are able to change the lifespan of sims, giving you more control over how long you get to play with them. There's an option to turn aging off completely which means you decide when to manually have sims progress to their next life stage (from child to teen to adult and so on). There are also options for short, normal and long lifespans. Each lifespan comes with a set number of in-game days for each life stage. For example, an infant on the short lifespan will have 2.5 days before aging up to toddler, then 3.5 days before aging up to child. The normal lifespan gives 5 days for infants and 7 days for toddler. The short lifespan can give you 66+ total in-game days with your sim if you play from newborn through Elder. The long lifespan gives you 528+ in-game days. If you're interested in learning more about life stages and lifespans, I like this article on Game Rant. https://gamerant.com/the-sims-4-lifespans-guide/
Hope this helps!
