Lifespan vs Seasons...How Many Years Will Your Sim Live?

Do you take into account or ever think about how many years a sim will live with various lifespans vs. season lengths when you're setting your lifespan or season lengths?

Here are my calculations (I'm really bad at math, so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong). Based on long lifespan = approx. 336 days, normal lifespan = approx. 84 days, and short lifespan = approx. 43 days. Seasons: long 28 days, medium 14 days, short 7 days. Four seasons = 1 year.

*Edited for bad math (I told you, haha)...*

long lifespan, long seasons -- Your sim will live 3 years
long lifespan, medium seasons -- 6 years
long lifespan, short seasons -- 12 years

normal lifespan, long seasons -- 3/4 year
normal lifespan, medium seasons -- 1 1/2 years
normal lifespan, short seasons -- 3 years

short lifespan, long seasons -- 1/2 year
short lifespan, medium seasons -- 3/4 year
short lifespan, short seasons -- 1 1/2 years

    -What do we say to death?
    -Not today.

    Haha, I think someone is a Game Of Thrones fan.



    hah! so say we all! :tongue:

    (btw Tyrion Lannister ftw!)

    But yeah, it's an option to add an extra element to the formula above.

    I don't really think it like that because I play a huge rotation and I feel there must be some time passing even when the sims aren't being played/aging. Interesting calculations though.

    I use MCCC for age spans in my save, so my sims actually live around 80 years (2 week seasons too, sp not egen the shortest ones). I play rotational though, it would probably get boring quite quick otherwise.
