Poll about Aging: what settings are you using in your game?
Pyromaniac:
Made this poll because I was curious about how everyone else played TS3, and because I have no idea how I should play.
On one hand, I enjoy micromanaging my sims, so I dislike it when households age without my input; but on the other, I get bored playing TS2 mode, because then I'm obligated to play EVERY household in order to keep the neighbourhood in sync.
Just wondering how everyone else is doing it.
witch:
Doing epic at the moment so I can play with the new things I've not seen yet. Will drop that back to normal and let babbies happen when I've finished.
Skadi:
I play with a custom long setting. Babies are 2 days, toddlers 5 days, children 9, teens 15, and then something like 40/50 for both the young adult and adult stages. I still want lots of spawn to happen, but also want to have plenty of time to mess around with the careers and what not. Normally once the household has children, I only play rabbithole jobs, that way I don't have to micromanage them + spouse + 3+ children at the same time.
Starler:
I prefer TS-2 style with all age settings on Epic/max length, except for the baby stage, which is 1 day (I don't like changing diapers and being woken up in the middle of the night in real life, much less in a game). Then I mostly rely on cakes to age up when I feel it's appropriate.
floopyboo:
Customised lifespan with extra-long teen & extra short adult stage that balances out to a normal lifespan. Did have it set to mirror reality somewhat but found the teen stage too short and the adult/youngadult combo insanely long. Plus all those grandparents (and great grandparents) having babies at the same time as their children & grandchildren was driving me nuts so I dropped the adult stage back to a week and set my hacks up so that there's no tfb close to elderhood and that pretty much squashed the issue entirely.
