Just curious bout a few things, how long are the years, and are they different per speed setting, I've not done any time changing (I have a brand new game, never changed clock, but I have Paused with the spacebar, not the menu option) and it seems that the aging stops sometimes with that. The baby countdowns seem to work, but the aging doesn't. No I don't do the pause to do the double collecting that seems to really mess things up, I started doin it in a good game I had but then I discovered that my Nursing mothers weren't counting down, and the ages were not goin up, I had a 13 y/o that stayed 13 for like 6 hours!! was so ready for him to hit the work force
