Birthdays according to calendar - confused
I just changed my seasons from 7 days to 14 days. Seasons changes have been too hasty, and I play sop many houses that I need a few more days per sim year.
I have aging on for just 1 day during a calendar year, and now I got aware of the birthday cake symbols. I knew about them already, but had forgotten them. And because I had decided to note in which season everyone is born, I figured I could just as well use the seasons the game suggests.
But - do anyone know if the birthdays are totally random? I will turn off aging before sim-midnight, because the population already aged once. When I turn on aging again in a sim year, will the calendar show the same birthdays (I will keep the 14 days seasons). Or will they again be random?
And - the major question - do anyone celebrate birthdays even if sim is not aging up? How do you go about that, will game age up the sim having a birthday, even if aging is set to off? If no aging up, why do you celebrate a birthday? I know we all play differently, and with a strong focus on family life and 28 days per season I might have gone with this, but with 14 days and if household counts 8 sims, I imagine there would be birthdays quite often, and if no aging I think I'd find it a bit boring unless I'd add some other event stuff. How do you do this?
