Also “voting” none.
I play them all—from cradle to grave (and sometimes beyond the grave, lol)—and if more life stages were available I’d play them as fully as possible too.
I’m not surprised to see a lot of votes for skipping babies. It’s true there is much less to do with them. I personally use the baby stage for family bonding and raising their relationship bars with the other members of the household. I most enjoy playing close families, and that starts here.
I love toddlers, and mine continue with socializing and maxing relationships with family members if they haven’t already, as well as learning several new skills—even if they can’t utilize many of them until later in life.
The child stage is exciting in that Sims are becoming more independent, are learning more useful skills while still being playful and imaginative, and can begin to explore and interact more with their world and befriend other Sims in it.
My Sims become even more individualized during the teen stage, and this is when I finalize my plans for how I’d like each Sim’s adulthood to begin, whether that’s preparing for university, starting a full-time job, or planning for marriage and children right away.
I don’t differentiate much between the YA and adult stages, as they share all the same possibilities, minus adults potentially having a mid-life crisis. How I play them at these stages is determined not by their age but by their individual personalities/trait combinations.
As for elders, that’s when mine get to do all the things they may not have had much time for while focusing on careers and raising families, such as pursuing hobbies in their retirement, more traveling, etc.
For me, every life stage is important and serves a purpose.
