modified aging and pregnancy

Thank you to Dark Gaia for the aging mod, and Tanja1986 for the pregnancy mod, from which my own mods are tweaked.

First, before you install any of these mods, a couple of notes: 

Keep in mind that I DO intend to change the distribution of these ages in the event that we finally get toddlers, pre-teens, or any other aging stage. I do not promise to keep updating older versions of the mod, only the one that I'm currently using. 

Also note that I am NOT a modder. I know my way around S4PE, and I can tweak mods that other people have made, that's all. If a patch breaks these mods (which happens often!), I cannot fix them. I have to wait for the original creators to update first, and then I'll update my versions. If you use any crucial game mod (like aging and pregnancy are) that can't be taken out without messing up your sims' ages and pregnancies, please always wait before updating your game. You can continue playing in "offline mode" until updates are available. Sometimes this can take a couple of weeks... or longer, if a creator decides to abandon the mod. All of that is out of my control. 

Aging: 

My aging stages currently look like this. Ages are in "years."

0-1, baby
2-11, child
12-18, teen
19-35, young adult
36-59, adult
60-89 elder

On the "long" setting, there are 120 sim-days in a year. 120 x 89 = a total lifespan of 10,680 sim-days. Yes, that is LONG, lol! That's the way I like it. 

Medium is currently 30 sim-days per year. 

Short is currently 15 sim-days per year.

*** update notes:
- 2/16/2016: oops, I had 22 years instead of 24 for the adult stage. Fixed!

Pregnancy: 

My sims are pregnant for 90 days, to represent 9 months of a 120-day year. Note that this mod matches only the LONG setting of my aging mod, and it does NOT scale if you change the aging length. Tanja1986 at MTS does have some shorter versions available, too.  

This mod also changes the rate of twins to 3% down from 33%, because I don't like that many sets of twins in my game. Just a personal preference.

*** note: this pregnancy mod is obsolete and will be overridden if you use the pregnancy module of MCCC, which allows you to set pregnancy length in game.

These mods are extensively play tested in my own game and working to the best of my knowledge as of the most recent patch.

*** update, 11/14/16: You can now modify both aging and pregnancy lengths very easily as part of MCCC, which is a highly supported mod that I totally recommend. I will leave these mods available in case anyone still needs them, but I am not using them myself any longer and they will not be updated.

Thank you, Maisie for the nomination. This came along at just the right time, since 1.) I actually have time to do it, and 2.) I have felt so out of touch with the sim-blogging community lately, I am eager to find some new, active blogs to read!

And I only just saw that Carla tagged me, too. Thank you, Carla! I will answer both sets of questions here.
