Very Slow Citizen Aging

Definitely keep track of total population age (as any city council would), ie children count, teens, adults etc. When you start a fresh city you will have to focus on elementary schools, and then they will suddenly grow to be teens, so you will have to switch over to high schools...and so on etc. It makes education and employment rates a primary key statistic to focus on. These things in turn will affect crime, fire hazard etc.

what about 16x citizen aging speed so they live about 5 months

This should be a vanilla mod. Esp for the hardcore simmers. Makes game start very difficult because you have to VERY thoroughly plan education. You will need to fund a MASSIVE elementary school system, and the very carefully transfer to high school, leaving some ES functional for new births (according to distric populations depending on how you play). ES campuses can then be shut down and relocated to new developments. I forget the name of the mods, but new citizen randomization and random citizen death would also be outstanding vanilla mods combined/included with this one.

I have since made him mortal he is now 61 years old. I have played around with pengines more diverse citizens mods and different citizen assets.

The kids do age but they are now realistic ie they live to 90 years instead of a 5 year lifespan. You have to see their ages in 'fav sims' mod . However having said this i have now seen a weird phenomena i dont know why i have about 20 citizens that are immortal ie they arent aging i labelled one of them with my name and he has stayed 19 years and unemployed for 60 years now. I did change 2 other male citizens in asset editor but i didnt think it would affect my other male citizens??? Any ideas?

Does this work with Green Cities?

this mod somehow works, but not in an inteded way I guess. Most of the people coming to the city are kids and it seems that they won't grow older anyway. So i decided to unsub this mod, also , needlessly to mention, the problems written by other users below. Very sad, because this mod itself works .. :(

its very hard to play with it. especially in the beginning. to many kids and nor workers. i have around 11.000 people and 45% are kids o.O i have a very very high need of medical and education and cant efford theire costs because of no workforce XD beside that, the system is cool and runs pretty good.

@tyrant where then, i think its fine, its works :)
Tyrant 20 Dec, 2016 @ 7:48pm 
it still works but there are better options out there now

Is this compatible with the latest update?

After this mod, I didn't have a single death wave anymore, it makes people lifetime realistic· I don't know why CO didn't vanillize this mod like some others···

I think this mod is broken. I had a crazy high demand for res without any work places. Finally I realized, my highschools weren't working, and I had no young adults or seniors in my city. As soon as I removed this mod, things started to recover.

Does this still work after the snowfall update?

Does this still work? I've subscribed, but still seem to encounter death waves (too often).

@SeaShepered06: Yes, it still works with after dark.

hi
thx for ur job
is it ok with after dark plz?

Great mod & slower levelling is much better. I reckon CO may have short lifespans just so as to raise the importance of the death mechanisms. But much better to keep it more realistic and your approach makes things a little more challenging overall, which is a good thing.

can you add this mod to a saved game without out problems??
Зарастроика 13 Apr, 2015 @ 7:57am 
Thanks so much! I realized how fast life is in Skylines, it's so weird· This mod is a must-have for me, with this the city goes much more natural, this game becomes much more lifelike with mods like that·

When everything goes too fast, I feel like I can't follow my city, see my city grow like little kids grow· Would be awful if we have children who grew up in a month, for example··· O.o

The extended period of education has also meant that I need an insane amount of schools. I have to have a primary school on every street and a extra estate of schools outside the city to cope with the number of children. I was using the infinite money mod so the huge increase in education spending didn't matter. I'm guessing that going down to the 1/4 version would reduce the amount of education demand so that a city could be fiscally stable earlier on in the city's development.

How does this impact the birth rate?
ViTaLrEmAiNs 18 Mar, 2015 @ 11:02pm 
this is too good :)
Harag 18 Mar, 2015 @ 12:44pm 
Great mod - can you please release a 1/8 version as I feel that would be just right and don't really want to download a configurable version.
fausto188 16 Mar, 2015 @ 1:37pm 
Thanks!! Great mod
Nohealforu  [author] 16 Mar, 2015 @ 1:30pm 
@fausto188: yes, if you start a new city with this mod on it will take quite some time before any of your building will be able to level up because of education.
fausto188 16 Mar, 2015 @ 1:21pm 
so... it will take a lot to get educated workers and because of that industry will remain in Level 1 for many years. Its ok what im saying??
Veldor 16 Mar, 2015 @ 1:20pm 
Cool mod, I was tired of the lifespan of the people that causes great death periods.
Nohealforu  [author] 16 Mar, 2015 @ 12:56pm 
It will slow education down significantly, but I find the benefits of a lower death rate, a more stable workforce, and better realism outweigh it taking more time to educate your people.
fausto188 16 Mar, 2015 @ 12:20pm 
Any negative impact on the development of the city???
