is it normal for children to age at different rates in time... I have a little one that is growing much faster than the other 2 kids.. Snot eater just turn from 2-4 really fast while the other 2 kids littlepoop & pee boy stayed the same age... is this normal? just wondering.....

ok short while since my 1st post and Snot Eater is now 5 other 2 kids still have not aged.... I find this kinda strange bah I just want littlepoop to hit 14 and he is still 12 while snot gained 3 years........

Well I've got more than a dozen little ones and they seem to be aging properly in game time. I've got mine set to double speed (I have ADD - I can't wait for anything) so the 2 years of nursing takes 120 minutes in real time. They seem to keep aging one year per hour of real time - I'm sure your kids are too but you know what they say about a watched pot! Check your adults to see how fast they're aging - it will probably be at the same rate it's just not really noticable until the Details screen suddenly tells you one of your original villagers is "elderly" (and nursing - what a hoot!).

I too play at 2X speed ...(I must have ADD too lol)It must have been a little glitch cuzz after my 2nd post I restarted the game and everything suddenly was right.. littlepoop was hard at work. No time passed, I paused It... I always do I never leave them little people alone on there own.

Glad it got sorted out! I discovered that once the graveyard is finished the headstones tell you how old the villagers were when they passed. My six original settlers are all gone now - one of the woman made it to 68.

In my new game I'm trying an experiment just for the heck of it. I've named 5 of the 6 after my real relatives and I'm going to leave Nora childless (every family has one childless maiden aunt don't they?) and see how long she lives! I have a theory that childbearing wears the women out - just like in real life...lol.

Happy ruling the world!
