Smallish update, because I don't get to take that many pictures while playing my Sims through college. I'm still experimenting on how to take on University in my 'hoods, both time-wise, rotation-wise and household wise. I really, really dislike playing University. I'm not entirely sure why, but there you go. So in order to cut down the time I have to spend there, I have lumped every single young adult together in one big household, and played that.
Johnny, Ophelia and Tank are starting their Junior years (I think? Third year of University, at any rate), and are joined by Angela and Lilith Pleasant, Ripp Grunt, Dustin Broke, Dirk Dreamer and Jill Smith, who are starting out as freshmen. That's 9 sims in total, which was just about as hectic as it sounds.
I'm not sure if I'll keep playing everyone together in one dorm, even if it is handy to figure out relationships for the further life of my Sims.



And those relationships DO need figuring out. Especially in the case of Ms. Angela Pleasant, here seen smooching her childhood sweetheart, Dustin.

Hey guys! I've made a realistic age mod where 4 Sim days equal one human year, aka 1 day = 3 months. I've also made a mod that changes the length of the seasons to 1 day, so now your sims can have all four seasons in a year! This ratio also works perfectly for pregnancies, as 3 days of pregnancy equals 9 months :)

This is the shortest really-pernickity-realistic agemod you can get, if you want to include the seasons and the default time for pregnancies, but it still gives your Sims lifespans that are much longer than the standard EAxis ones. One Sim life from birth to age 65 comes to a whopping 260 days played! Perfect if you want to spend lots of time with your sims, probably not that useful for Megahoods and Legacies (though who am I to dictate you how to play?)

EDIT: Please redownload if you've downloaded this file! I forgot to update the elder stage. This has now been fixed.
