How fast does time go?

[Tom Simkins]

The 1 sec to 1 min is correct for all sim games.  Yes it is fast.  I don't think the life spans are shorter han the avrage game though.  However, during the story mode, the aging prosses is frozen. There is a cheat to stop aging while in free mode so just ask if you want it.

The way to stop the high-speed sleeping thing is to press the normal speed button just like normal while their sleeping.

Hope I helped.
