- I've no idea. lol
- DaWaterRatNew VanguardI play on long life, and 14 days feels just about right for most sims to experience a full year for each life stage. (The exceptions being toddlers, since their life stage is only 28 days long so they only get two seasons; and babies who I usually age up within a day or two.)
- Reddestiny921Seasoned VeteranI was thinking about it but for me it depends on the families I have gotten attached to sims on short with 7 days and normal on 14 days, though usually I prefer this length. I currently have a save with long life and shorter seasons we'll see how that goes.
- SharoooniaNew Spectator14 so my sims can see many season changes in their life time.
- SimmervilleSeasoned AceI started with 7 days, but I needed more time to get through all my households :)
- I used to play with 7 days but the change on seasons was very fast. The change is much more beautiful with bigger lenght imo
- Nindigo79Seasoned NoviceI play with aging off and like to have time to appreciate each season thoroughly. It also leaves plenty of time for and between holidays.
- I switch a lot. I get tired of everyone dying and all the storms (my sims live in Sulani a lot) in the winter so I make them go fast and slow it down for spring and summer haha
- Fluteline24New Spectator14 days, but I have a custom lifespan set with MCCC.
- Mine are 14 days. It feels like the perfect balance to me for the way I play my game.
7 days is way too short and unrealistic for everything I do in my game. I play with a lot of holidays and 1 week seasons would make almost every other day a holiday. I also just think it goes by way too fast. 1 week isn't enough time to digest a season. I prefer to have time to fully enjoy everything, let the seasons actually transition from one to the next and 2 weeks is great for that. When the pack first came out, I tried played seasons on one week. Going from autumn to winter, was crazy. Literally the moment it struck midnight, snow was all over San Myshuno. It was way too quick and unrealistic of a jump for me.
28 days on the other hand is waaaayyyyyy too long for my tastes. I'd get extremely bored of a season by the time the third week of a season began. My biggest reason for this is winter. I really don't like snow. I enjoy the wintery feel of snow, but I'd die if I had to play through 4 whole weeks of snow and blizzards. 2 weeks is enough. Also, I give my kids and teens summer and winter breaks, which means they get the entirety of summer off and 1 week of winter off. If I played 28 days, that would be 4 weeks of summer off and 2 weeks of winter. I enjoy playing with kids in this game (teens not so much), but there's not nearly enough for either them to do out of school for that long. It would become very repetitive and I'd find myself just wishing for the breaks to just end already.
That said, let it been known that I play with aging off. If you play with aging on, it might affect how long you'd want you seasons to last based on how quickly sims age. For me personally, 14 days is the perfect length to have all of the holidays I want at a good distance apart without it feeling like the seasons are moving to quickly or too slowly.
