Sans titre

The in-game lifespans are too short for my liking lol so I edited the Options.ini file (found in your Documents directory) with Notepad to mimic a more realistic lifespan.

1 season = 7 days 1 year = 28 days

My settings (in days) are:

Human

agingstagelengthbaby = 28 (up to 1 year) agingstagelengthtoddler = 84 (up to 4 years) agingstagelengthchild = 252 (up to 13 years) agingstagelengthteen = 140 (up to 18 years) agingstagelengthyoungadult = 224 (up to 26 years) agingstagelengthadult = 1092 (up to 65 years) agingstagelengthelder = 560 (up to 85 years)

Total human lifespan = 2,380 days (85 years)

Cat

agingstagelengthkitten = 28 (up to 1 year) agingstagelengthcatadult = 168 (up to 7 years) agingstagelengthcatelder = 140 (up to 12 years)

Total cat lifespan = 336 days (12 years)

Dog

agingstagelengthpuppy = 28 (up to 1 year) agingstagelengthdogadult = 224 (up to 9 years) agingstagelengthdogelder = 84 (up to 12 years)

Total dog lifespan = 336 days (12 years)

Horse

agingstagelengthfoal = 84 (up to 3 years) agingstagelengthhorseadult = 336 (up to 15 years) agingstagelengthhorseelder = 308 (up to 26 years)

Total horse lifespan = 728 days (26 years)

I also use NRaas Retuner to alter pregnancy length.

Settings > General > By Tunable XML > Sims3.Gameplay.ActorSystems >

Pregnancy > kHoursOfPregnancy > 504 (21 in-game days) PetPregnancy > kHoursOfPetPregnancy > 116 (<5 in-game days)

I use NRaas Story Progression to lengthen maternity leave, enable paternity leave and set menopause age.

General Options > Options: Pregnancy

Maximum Maternity Leave = 11 Near Elder Limit = 401 Paternity Leave = "True"

In my larger rotational worlds I disable inactive ageing TS2-style with NRaas Story Progression. Otherwise I’d miss my Sims' childhoods before completing a full rotation lol.

Caste Options > Non Active Family > Death: Allow Aging > "False"

I also use NRaas Relativity to slow the flow of time. I have it set to 19 so my Sims' days are basically twice as long. They have time in the morning to get up, get bathed, drink coffee, eat breakfast and read the paper before they go to work. Highly recommend this mod if you feel like your Sims' days are too short.

Today I’m happy to release Praaven Reworked, a new version of Praaven by jje1000/potato-ballad-sims, edited by Simsmidgen and me. As usual this project took longer than expected. But with the help of our many fantastic testers all is well that ends well.

Simsmidgen and I tweaked some things more to our liking, replaced broken CC, reduced the overall amount of required CC, recoloured EA objects and/or replaced them, fixed major routing issues, reduced world size, replaced/fixed all those bloody arches and stacked staircases, thinned spawners, improved terrain painting (at least we think so). We added the two festival lots by lowrisim and tweaked them a bit and also made sure that the tomb can be solved (yes, there is a tomb, go looking for it!). We tried to leave the world as original as possible though (apart from the things that didn’t work well). Public release is with permission of potato-ballad-sims.
