Thoughts
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.
