Really? I've just started using normal and it's so short compared to long. 12 days from child to teen and I'm achieving nothing.

That goes for me too. That's why I keep the life span on long, a bit boring. But it helps with achieving skills and the careers :smile:

Aging off. I wipe out everyone in all neighborhoods and settle each lot with sims with custom traits. This takes a while. Then I rotate which house I play and go to bars, clubs and parks and watch how everyone interacts with each other. It's an endless source of amusement to me. Change happens very slowly, but I do occasionally move different sims in and out, some sims have kids, and I make different lots and decorate. Sometimes I like to play with one family or sim for a long time. So I guess I'm playing with mostly immortals. Someday, and that day may never come, but someday I may watch them all on short life spans to see how long they last. But for now I like to watch them go from house to house stealing, cheating and peeing in the bush next door.

ageing off. i'm too attached to them.

I always play my Sim Self so I make them immortal. Lol.

@JasonSim16, i love your signature. coffee <3.

Aw! Thank you! Lol.

I played on long like since launch but bag normal now more fun

Well i have seasons=> 1year =4 weeks(i play on short seasons).I also have MCCC so mine are custom:
Baby=5 days
Toddler=23 days
(Baby+Toddler =28 days=1 year)
Child=28 days(1 year)
Teen=28 days
YAdult=56(2 years)
Adult=56
Elder=56
My pregnant sim will be pregnant for 3 seasons= 3 weeks= 21 days
This way, an Elder will see it’s teen grandchild.
In total a sim will live for 9 years or 252 days.

I always play with ageing off and I age them up when I feel like it. But now my sim and her child are the same age...

When I have a young adult sim I am really attached to and don't get bored with, I play with a frozen timeline. When I have a family with growing kids, I play long lifespan until I want to age them up. When it's time for them to get to the next life stage, I pick the normal life span and age them up a day early or so.
