What is your "realistic" lifespan settings?
I just started using a more realistic epic lifespan setting! Since there are 7 days in a season we can say that there are 28 sim days in a year. I looked at the lifespan that nraas recommended reflect...

Seasons don't have to be seven (7) days. You can lower that to three (3). Or, of course, extend it.
I just play one day equals one year of life. So, babies get two days as I can't adjust it any lower than that and 24 months seems the right transition to toddler to me. Then, toddlers are really only "toddlers" for a couple years, but they can't start regular school here until six or seven. So, I give them five (5)days, which is plenty of time to get trained in everything and have all the books read to them. Grade school lasts Kindergarten through sixth grade, so that's seven days as a child. And, I only give my teens seven days as well (13-19 is seven years). I like the way all the life states work out to an even week (if you combine infant and toddler years together). I round the other life states in even weeks too. Current life is at 77 in my game, with the option for healthy living and luck adding more time in the twilight years.
We all play so very differently and have our own ideas of what is realistic, don't we?!
