This is gonna be a helluva long lifespan if you want your sims to live a "full lifetime".
Sim Lifetimes
28 days per season = 112 days per year.
Baby - 112 days (0-1yr old)
Toddler - 448 days (1-5yrs old)
Child - 784 days (5-12 yrs old)
Teen - 672 days (12-18 yrs old)
Young Adult - 2,240 days (18-38 yrs old)
Adult - 3,024 days (38-65 yrs old)
Elder - 2,016 days (65-death (83) yrs old) (adjust as necessary)
Total Lifetime Days = 9,296 days
Then you're going to have to adjust pregnancy to 84 days to signify 9 month gestation.
Better be prepared for a "stick-to-it" manner of play-style if you want to run a game through this kind of length of realistic lifespan.
Me, I can't get through three days of diaper changes and squalling infant before using cake to age-them-up. Wanna know why?
I went through raising three kids in real life through that (infancy) stage of life, diapers, throw-ups, getting peed on (one of them is now a high-school graduate (out of school now an year), the other graduates this year and my 12 year old daughter enters high-school in 2023. I have no desire to simulate getting peed on, spat-up on and changing poopy diapers in sim-life for that long of time.
