I am ALL IN for this!! Every life stage could use some expansion and more autonomy in general. These ideas are more action rather than stuff to add to the game... Here is what I was thinking though:
NEWBORN - would it be nice to be able to actually pick them up, ability to put them into a different crib, have a baby changing station, throwing away the diapers, having to buy diapers, debate over cloth vs paper diapers, show off the kid to the neighborhood, let people give you a baby shower, be able to ask "who does the kid look like?", have the option to con your family into babysitting for you to have a date night, emotion for "kid kept me up all night crying" and "glowing new parent", burping after bottle feeding, spit up marks on clothes
TODDLER - stroller options, teething, actually crawling and then moving on to walking and running, let the parents dote on them about their first steps or words, attachments to certain toys, fears (ex- afraid of the dark so you have to purchase a nightlight), ask parent to tell you a bedtime story, let them be naturally curious, option to ask parents/siblings "random questions", making sure they have sunscreen on when playing outside, giving them medicine when they get sick
CHILDREN - teaching them to swim or ride a bike, letting them dance on your feet, option of face painting at a birthday party, catching fireflies when camping, playing tag, making simple recipes by themselves, walking down the street for the first time alone and the emotion that comes with it, giving parents art work they did at school or on the craft table, losing their teeth to the toothfairy (of course they get $$$), asking "what do you wanna be when you grow up?", lemonade stand, playing tag, throw in a random allergy
TEENAGERS - braces and pimples (I know we have the option, but they don't just happen on their own), first crush, option to sent a secret admirer note or send flower to your SOS, curfew, letting parents have "the talk" with them, if we had cars again - option to teach to drive and let them study for permit, curfew, getting allowances, hiring a tutor if they need it, chores, calling their BFF about their first kiss, have a celebrity crush and wish for their poster, interest in hobbies - whether it be sports or music or ect..., ability to ask parents to come to game or recital or read their latest short story
YOUNG ADULTS - call parents to ask for loan, emotion modifiers for "paid my first bill" "bought first home" ect..., option to have friends set them up on a blind date, ring actually staying on finger after engagement/wedding, ringing parents or elderly for advice when pregnant or sick kids or when you wish to change careers or go back to school
ADULTS/ELDERLY - retirement talk, mid-life crisis mode/purchase, bucket-list talk, emotion mods for "empty nesters", making a will, slow walk, "days off" for rest due to back aches or doctors appointment, needing to purchase medicine, having strict diet for a period due to "doctors orders to eat better", wishes for kids or grandbabies to visit, getting new hobbies, competing in the jam festival at the farmer's market (something like this), having weird dreams/visits about the grim reaper ("when will it be your time?"), asking grandbabies to read them a book or fix dinner, perhaps deeper appearance of wrinkles or grey/white hair as they get more into adulthood, option to "go to salon" to redye it
