“Normal” versus Long Custom Aging.
As a long time Simmer I have many aspects of the game tweaked to my liking by now.
The one thing I still haven’t quite gotten right is aging while incorporating seasons/holidays, university and even pregnancy.
I have figured out by now that adults need more time as adults than given by EA defaults and I like the idea of following a semi-realistic flow of aging that reflects reality. Children are around 5-12, young adults in their twenties etc etc.
I’m stuck between a nearly EA Normal which equates one week to a year (but then holidays/seasons are a mess)
OR a really long four weeks equals a single year meaning toddlers stay that way for a staggering 84 days! And slogging through university for even longer.
How do you solve this dilemma? (or perhaps you ignore it). Maybe you’re one that plays super long, with the same Sims for extended periods? Looking for ideas…
