Lifespan 4th option?

Not sure if this idea even belongs in this category or not. It's my first time posting. 
But it's an idea soooo... what-the-hay. 😁🤷

My thought is more of a wish/want/aspiration (lol). I think it would be nice to have a 4th option for lifespan. I just saw a post (or two) about it from past forum topics. But there were only a few touching on this thought, and most recent one on this topic was from, like, three years ago. So, I guess, now I'm wondering if this is something even worth revisiting; or perhaps it's just not a popular enough want...? Remains to be seen. =]

Anywho...
I have my Sims on "long" lifespan. But that options has kinda become waaaaay too long. And "force-aging" every single one of them is incredibly tedious. But "normal" is too short; as  for "short"... yeah, forget about it. lol. 
So I was thinking "Medium" would be a nice "Default" option. I think it might help reduce the use of the amount (or frequency) of simple cheat codes (IE: fill needs) just to boost early play; mostly in order to enjoy the full scope of "potentials" within game-play.

My long-time goal is a legacy. But in the nearly twenty years I've been playing, I've yet to accomplish it. Mostly because game-play has become an incredibly, amazingly immersive experience; which is awesome. But add in (extra) long lifespan, plus everything the game has to offer, and then add in new expansion packs that are deliciously diverting... it becomes too much. IDK if a medium lifespan will help, but it would be a (hopefully simple add) feature that I'd like to see. 

 

Okey-doke. That's all I have. Thanks for taking a look-see. Hopefully others feel similarly. If not, no worries. Happy Sim'ing!! 💙👑

  • BluDuchess​ welcome! This is absolutely the right place for your suggestions and ideas. You never know who will see them, after all it was the forums that suggested horses and fairies and we got those eventually so you never know.

    Personally I play with ageing off because I get a bit overly attached to my Sims!
