With which lifespan you play in Sims 3?

Er well, let's just say it would be good advice to not necessarily believe everything you read on the internet. o:)

Hahah

I know a lot of Simmers like to move those infants and toddlers right along, but I don't mind them being there a bit longer. My infants are set to seven (7) days, while my toddlers are set to 31.

Most of the time, I play Epic but sometimes I like to play Long. My Lifespans are:
Baby 2
Toddler 4
Child 56
Teen 120
Young Adult 400
Adult 300
Elder 200

Most of my Sims' lives are in the Young Adult Stage as it allows them to have families and Careers, while the Adult Life Stage allows my Sims to complete their Lifetime Wishes and go on trips before they become Elders. When I do get Elders in my active family they usually spend days helping out or pursuring their interests. To me, Elders in The Sims 3 means "Spending as much time with family and friends".

There's some variations on the Lifespan above but that is the best estimate I have

I put them on normal but then turn of ageing altogether... so I suppose that makes their lifespan epically epic long? ?

Technically, I play on a modified Long (currently 2 baby /12 toddler/14 Child /14 Teen / 42 YA / 42 Adult / 28 Elder).

However, between frequent dabblings in the occult, life fruit/ambrosia, Young Again potions, Fountain of Youth elixirs, and eventually Age Freeze potions.. My sims only die when I arrange it, and it's never of old age.

Aging is something the rest of the town does around my immortal household.

(Oh hey, internet, why did you have to make me look like a goober and post that twice?)

Long, with Infants and children getting shortened a bit.

Long. Tried to make the amount of time spent on certain life-stages somewhat "realistic" but probably just botched that up.
I kinda keep twiddling with these settings all the time but this was the latest one.

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:
