How Does Rotational Play Affect Progress?

@ModerateOsprey The Always Welcome trait is my second-favorite. after Observant. I did notice you can assign beds at other houses, but hadn't really considered inviting myself over for a weekend or a family gathering. Do you know if they'll clean up after I leave, or is that up to me?

@EgonVM Oh, that's clever! Just front-load all the coursework so the homework doesn't matter as much. That I could definitely do.

@Simmerville I noticed the money change too, when I tried to rotate last night. I had switched a pregnant sim into her sister's household so I could keep an eye on her progress, and when I went to send her home on day three... Her husband's family was loaded. So I transferred some simoleons to her sister as a thank-you.

@Umbreon12 This is my first time playing with aging off, and I've decided I like it. I haven't, however, decided what to do with my first generation as the second and third ages. Right now I have adults, young adults, and toddlers, but sooner or later I might just have a bunch of adults... Have you noticed if it's always a 3:1 girl:boy ratio? Or does it differ by saves?

@Gagea That's a good way to measure aging out. I'm not sure I'll be playing my households evenly, but I'll definitely keep that in mind!

For me it varies by save. my first/main/testing one is the 3:1 ratio for girls to boys.
In another save, I have a male and one female born in-game, with one girls edited into the family.
For my PC base game version, I had one female Sim with Don Lothario, and for her it has been four boys born, and only one girl.
Other saves for it has been male, with no females born yet.
So, it can be up to chance.
As for the families, I mix them up a bit. Some families are mom, dad, and kids. Others are single mom with kids, and a new husband with a child with him. Another family with two sisters, where one sister is a single mother.
I vary my families in the rotation, so I don't get bored with the same set up.
