Realistic Aging by TheLittleThings


Based on sims 3 seasons where 4 weeks equalled 1 sim year. Therefore sims will age 1 year every 28 sim days. This means if you keep track you can have real ages for all your sims and know when their birthday is, e.g. if a sim is born on a Sunday then every 4th Sunday will be their birthday. Maybe a bit long for legacy play but useful for storytelling purposes.

Old lifespan:
Baby - 2
Toddler - 7
Child - 13
Teenager - 13
Young adult - 20
Adult - 20
Elder - 10

New Lifespan:
Baby - 28 (0 years old)
Toddler - 84 (1-3 years old)
Child - 252 (4-12 years old)
Teenager - 140 (13-17 years old)
Young adult - 336 (18-29 years old)
Adult - 840 (30-59 years old)
Elder - 588 (60-80 years old)

The above numbers are based on the lifespan being set to normal. Short will halve the above numbers and long will double them.

Bipolar Trait by emile20


Bipolar I Disorder features sims experiencing a range of emotions either manic highs or depressive lows or both at the same time. With this expect sims to gain buffs that last up to 18 hours sometimes multiple which can affect their moods. Sims will either get a depressive episode (which makes them very sad), Feel Empty (which makes them tense), Feel Irritable (which makes them very angry) or have a manic episode (which makes them feel energized.

Bipolar I is very intense so dealing with sims with this trait can be very difficult to navigate their life.

Bipolar II disorder essentially is Bipolar I with the same buffs being depressive episode (which makes them very sad), Empty (which makes them tense), Agitated (which makes them very angry) or have a Hypomanic episode (which makes them feel energized. . I'd recommend this one for starters. Buffs in this trait can last anywhere from 15 mins - 4 hours periods.

My inspiration for this mod is myself as I suffer from this disorder and having my sims go through the emotions that I feel daily is therapeutic and it can bring awareness to mental illness so it will not be a taboo subject.

This mod is in no way made to mock or discredit the illness so please do not be offended. Awareness and Positivity.
