Is there a way to make characters age a bit faster?
Hey. I just downloaded SS, and I have a Byzantine campaign in progress. The problem is, the characters age 1 year once every 2 turns, but 2 turns = 3 years or so.
Is there any way that the characters could age 3 years every 2 turns, because I really don't like how my characters live for 100+ years.

Smoking and drinking a whole lot could have an effect.

What you're looking for is in the campaign_script.txt in that post, specifically the section at the end of the script titled "MODIFIED AGING CODE". Characters only "age" when a winter occurs. Thus, in the case of the early campaign with 1.5 years per turn, winter only occurs once every three years. The code in the referenced script changes aging rate to one per year by forcing a winter every year. What you need to do is take that modified aging code (several hundred lines of script), alter it to suit whatever aging rate you want and then append it to the end of SS's campaign script.
