Aging and Rounds

As you will see, I am pulling practically all of this from Rachel of New Rochelle fame, because she really seems to have her stuff together!

Aging

Just as in New Rochelle, one Sim day is equivalent to a week.  I’m following New Rochelle Rachel’s (to distinguish her from me, because my name is Rachel too!) lead and leaving aging on, and just like her, I wanted to make sure to get in enough rounds with each family at each age stage. The table below summarizes the system:

Age Stage	Months/Years	Days
Baby	Birth-10 months	40
Toddler	10 months-4 years	152
Child	4-13 years	432
Teen	13-18 years	240
Young Adult	18-40 years	1056
Adult	40-59 years	960
Elder	59 +	~720

Rounds

Again, like New Rochelle’s timing, each round will be 48 weeks long and that will be considered a year.  I will spend four days with each household, which will seem like a lot of time at first because I only rolled five households to start.  As we get more households, however, we’ll be spending less time with each household per round.  I will adjust things as we go!
