In a manner of speaking. There is no slider interface, so it doesn't have to "add up" to a total number unless I want it to. What I do is I just open up the file and enter how long or how short I want each stage to be. So if I wanted to, I could subtract 6 days from the elder stage and add 2 days to the adult stage. For the young adult stage, I would modify the teen stage and then modify the length of the university semester (which is another mod that I have). So I would add 4 days to the teen stage and add 12 hours to the university semester to make 4 days since there are 8 semesters. That would give the modification that you used if your example. Personally, I think the slider interface in TS3 is more intuitive. ;-)
