Realistic Aging

Children working at 6? In medieval era? In some remote forest in the middle of nowhere? With barely enough food to survive? Sounds pretty realistic to me.

I apologize, I'm just now seeing the comments from several months ago.

@Reigdaer, did you have any other mods enabled? It sounds like my mod may have a conflict with another mod.

@PestMastah, I originally wanted to do something more like your suggestion. Unfortunately, the game engine has only one parameter that determines when a child either starts working or starts going to school. There is no way to set the age to start school and the age to start work at different values. If I configured the mod to start school at 6 years old, then children who don't go to school would start _working_ at 6 years old, which felt completely unrealistic to me. That's why I ultimately chose to interpret "school" as a trade school and gave it a shorter duration.

Please change the schooling age beginning to 6 and ending when they turn 13.
Would make more sense. Give a full half dozen years before hitting 13 and thus entering labor and/or the working life.
While still being ahead of the vanilla version.
At least six years so that way even start-up kids who are already under 13 can go there and still get their full education.
12 would go to 18 actually under that beginning (of game) condition.
Or even Immigrants as well.
This keeps a steady flow of students.

I'm at a point where I got lots of kids around 7 to 12 and the school is empty.

Is there a way I can edit it?

i tried the mod, but it keeps crazing after some minutes, i guess is when the "aging" happens

This mod makes strange balance. At some point there are so many children (refusing to age) that it is simply impossible to feed town even when entire adult population is employed at food production
