How long is a Sim year?

I play with LittleMsSam's 21 day seasons so for me, my sim year 84(?) days.

I love that mod and find that three-week seasons is perfect for me. Sadly, it also interferes with the Starlight Accolades Show. I mean it really messes them up. Since I have a Rock Star who keeps getting nominated for Best Song, this was problematic and disrupting my fun. I had to begrudgingly uninstall it.

I like to play on short, normal and long at random and I enjoy the holidays so I would say it is however long it is on each setting, I like it simple :)

One sim day.

So for me, I run sims time along side real life time, so a second in real time is a minute in game, a minute is an hour etc

So I consider a sim day (24mins) a “year” because they only age in days. So and so is 178 days old, I consider that years, so that sim, to me, is 178 years old (they’re not human so in my head there is to time frame for how long a sim lives, a 270 year old sim is very common in my game lmao. Some of my vamps are like 500-800 days/years old now)

I turn aging off and on as I play to keep ages in sync etc etc

But yeah, I’ve never followed any “canon” way. Sim days are “years” to me.

Playtime, when I've gone through all 4 seasons, regardless of length.

Aging, a day. Theoretically. I don't really play "years" in aging, but since they age per day, that would be the closest thing to a year for me.

I play with aging off and don't pay much attention to the holidays in game. I've got a couple of saves with the 2 week seasons and I'm still deciding which I prefer. It's the winters that bug me, they last too long. I wish I could extend the spring and summer and shorten the winter. I get depressed staring at all that snow and bare trees.

A sim year for me is once I've gotten through all 4 seasons and my seasons are set to last 28 days.

Currently my seasons are 28 days so a year is 112 days. I play with aging off 90% of the time so years don’t really matter to me. I may add the 21 days mod back in but I have to finish my holiday placement first.

I play on long with 28 days per season with aging off

I loved that mod but take care. If you have Get Famous, that mod grossly interferes with the Starlight Accolades Show. As in you may send your nominated Sim to hopefully win, but you'll find the Host never shows up, and sometimes good ol' Thorne Bailey leads the exodus from the PBP Studio Lounge. For me it was a total nightmare until others alerted me it was that mod. I very reluctantly removed it from my Mods folder. One week is too short, four weeks too long, three was just right. Now, I'm using two-week seasons.

Mine would be 112 days -- 4 28-day seasons. But I don't pay attention to how the time matches with my Sims' ages.
