I’m currently attempting to set up a good calendar – I get a bit lost with the current one (it takes a woman 3 days to complete her pregnancy, but a baby grows into a toddler in that same time… And a toddler becomes a child – I’m not sure how many 18 month olds you know, but they’re not anything like that!)

I was considering allocating 3 months to every Simday, including changing each season, but that seems overly complex.  I think I’ll allocate 3 months to each Simday, but have the seasons change as they already do (seemingly at random – well, 5 Simdays to each season).  The next issue is then one of lifespan.  It seems like they don’t live long enough for story telling purposes, but I have a feeling that dramatically increasing their lifespan may cause issues from a skilling/interest point of view.

The current stats are:

  • Baby: 3 days
  • Toddlers: 4 days
  • Children: 8 days
  • Teens: 15 days
  • Adults: 29 days
  • Elders: 11-31 days (approx)

If I increase this as much as I want to, it means my sims live for a whopping 291 days.  That’s far far too long.

But the computer still isn’t working.  Stupid sucky thing.
