Meh... I'm struggling to figure out what, exactly, I want to do with my game at the moment. I don't really feel like playing RBH (I'm like 6 months behind on updating it here, anyway), and I've started fiddling around with organizing my downloads again, because I have some sort of Sims OCD... and ADHD.
I kind of want to start a new uberhood still, but I'm not sure what angle to take on it. I feel like doing makeovers, but I want to play too... Or maybe I should be doing something else for a while, like finishing Skyrim. I dunno. :P
I was wondering, what sort of aging hacks - if any - do you guys use for TS2? I've been playing with my own for a while, which modifies most of the ages just slightly (toddler 3->4, child 7->8, teen 14->10, adult 28->34), and I even changed ACR around to fit those changes. It's not really a bad configuration. My main problem is what to do with college. I've used Cyjon's hack that reduces all of college to 4 semesters and only 8 days in total, which mostly fits the timeline of the rest of the neighbourhood, but it feels just a bit too brief sometimes... There's not quite enough time.
But 8 semesters of 1 day each would just be terrible, and 8 semesters of 2 days each is a bit too long and totally messes up the sync with the rest of the 'hood. Unless, of course, I make a hack where 4 days = 1 year, in which case everything would be perfect (even the length of pregnancies!)... except that such an aging mod would make a sim life WAY TOO LONG. Say a sim on average lives until they're 75 "years" old... That would be 300 sim days. D:
So yeah, just curious about how y'all deal with the whole timeline thing. Or maybe it's me who needs to relax and just play the damn game without micromanaging every little detail. :P
Edit: Oooh... follow-up question. What about NOT sending sims to college? I always send everyone to college, otherwise their ages get out of sync, but of course, that's not really especially realistic. I mean, it would be interesting to have sims that don't get to go, to mix it up a bit. I wish there was a hack that added x amount of days to a sim's lifespan if they don't go to/drop out of college.
