Decades Challenge: How do you manage time?
Whenever i hear about Decades Challenges (in any iteration) i always wonder: - How many sim days represent a year/decade for you? - In which lifespan you play?

Aging is an important part of the game as it helps to determine when you change decades! Some people play this challenge so that as each new heir becomes a young adult the decade changes, and that is certainly the most simple way to play.
However, if you want to be a bit more exact, you can track each Sim day to know exactly when to switch decades. Using the Normal Sim Lifespan as a guide, we will assume that each Sim day is 6 months, so every 2 days the year changes, and every 20 days the decade changes.
So based on a Normal Sim Lifespan, Sims will automatically age up according to the approximate schedule:
Baby: 3 days, ages up at 1.5 years old
Toddler: 7 days, ages up at 5 years old
Child: 13 days, ages up at 11.5 years old
Teen: 13 days, ages up at 18 years old
Young Adult: 24 days, ages up at 30 years old
Adult: 24 days, ages up at 42 years old
Elder: 10 days, dies at 47 years old
