With which lifespan you play in Sims 3?

I like epic because it gives me along time to be young and accomplish stuff. I like to put babies on 3, toddlers on 14 days, and everything else on whatever it gives me with epic. Normal is just too short.

I haven't jacked up the baby and toddler age spans 3 and 7 days...since for me (after raising three babies to teen-age(in real life) trust me, getting up at 2AM or earlier in the morning for diaper changes is not fun, espeially when you are operating on minimal sleep and god help you if your baby ends up with colic.)...I pretty much have said "screw it" and automatically age sims babies up after three days.

I have set babies and toddlers to 2 days. When the sim gets to the toddler stage I cheat on the skills and then go playing another household until the sim becomes a child. I can't stand the noises toddlers make. :tongue:

I hear ya, Cororon. When one has experienced raising babies and toddlers in real life...some of us, well, we'd just rather skip the whole thing...and shoot 'em straight to child-age. Though of course my kids well... the "dadadadada..." and the toothless smiles were cute when they were babies... my oldest now graduated and a young adult was adorable as a baby. He'd go "dadada..." stick out his tongue and grin. He's still the same cheeky bugger at 19. Sims 3 toddlers on the other hand are just annoying.

I've always played with aging off and I rarely age up my sims. My sims tend to stay the same age as when I created them. I only age up babies and sometimes toddlers.

I used to play with aging off and I would manually age up my sims when I wanted to but then I remembered that my sims friends/coworkers/etc. wouldn’t age either.

So I changed it to epic. :)

What about you? With which lifespan you play in Sims 3?

I edit my lifespan. <3
