how do you record the time through your decades challenge? i always have a hard time with it, for eg im in the 1910s and the father sim should be in his 40s but hes an elder
I'm gonna be honest, I started out doing the '2 days = 1 year' thing, but honestly I play much too slowly for that to make sense, so I turned aging off and now I'll age my characters up manually when I think it makes sense. If I hadn't turned off aging all my characters would probably be elders by this point 😅
I basically answered this question here, but in essence, I have a giant spreadsheet where I keep track of dates and have the birthday (or at least year) and family relationships of every single character, right down to background extras. It helps it feel like a real village, and more importantly, it gives the Gillespies people to gossip about.
