Lifestages related pack ideas

I don't know if it's pack related maybe Town Life EP from Sims 3?

 Newborn Stage more clothes like the zip up, a shirt and pants or shorts and a beanie, hand socks or whatever their called, pacifiers, parents can rock newborn to sleep, newborn can fall asleep to lullaby music.

 Infant Stage more clothes, a beanie, onesies, bibs, pacifiers, strollers, baby swing, baby car seat, diaper bag so when your out in town you have supplies for baby, Bottle Warmer. 

 Toddler Stage Daycares so they can build up skills a little more without the Simmer, more clothes overalls, onesies, romper, Pacifiers, Stroller, more variations of the sippy cup, more toddler finger food like fruit slices, jello, pudding, fruit snacks. Car Seats, Diaper Bag, Parents rocking toddlers to sleep, Taking a nap across Parents lap and parents taking them to bed. 

 Child Stage After school activities like Ballet, Karate, Cheer, Gymnastics, Kickball, Special School Days like Crazy hair day, dress like a bear say, costume day, pajama day. Dress in a color day. Child and Parents getting excited for good grades like they did in Sims 2. NPC parents picking up kids so they don't walk at home at night all by themselves I thought was cute in Sims 2 and it feels more realistic to me. 

 Preteen Stage this stage is where what they liked as a kid they may or may not like it anymore. They are a little more rebellious to parents and maybe even the Simmer lol. So they have attitude or more moody than any other stage because their growing but it's early and they don't know how to get it together yet. They want to impress friends with the lastest and greatest. They tend to play and be around with their friends more then the family. Crushes get developed like a pink heart meaning crush that can be explored if the Simmer wants to or not. After school activities same as a child. 

 Teen Life time to hang out with the teens at your favorite hang out place, study groups, study for learning how to drive, get into good colleges like Ubrite or Fox, Getting into more activities same thing as the child. Have a visit college day to see what school fits your need. 

 Middle aged Lifestage enjoy early retirement if simmer chooses, go on vacations, or kick stuff off the bucket list, take care of grandkids or elderly parents if they still around, Go to the clubs and show them young kids you still got it, Become a Sugar Daddy or a Cougar.

 Elder Lifestage tend to garden, retirement home if the Simmer choose to, spend time with family, fuss at the kids, play with the kids, canes, walkers, mobility scooters. Wheelchair. Light Exercise. 

I actually made a post recently and included the idea of a tween base game update. Also an expansion pack called Growing Pains that introduces a playable middle school, puberty, and awkward crushes.

i hope my ideas based on some lifestages (which exist longer than this post) get merged in here in the comments

one is based on toddlers and the other based on little kids (the latter i've completed 9 or 10 of them)

but i'll try to merge each lifestages in this post (or atleast by reporting them)

i'll notice if it's in this comment soon👍

oh i love all of these ideas based on almost each lifestages, it's all very well thought out😊😊👍

i love that idea, i never thought about all of these but i want tween (or preteen like some of us calls them) in the game as a new lifestage for sure😊😊

The Sims 4: Teen Life (Expansion Pack Idea)

New World: Crescent Bay

• A suburban-meets-coastal town where teens thrive—boardwalks, skate parks, and community hangouts.
• Includes a teen-only nightclub (with mocktails and karaoke), a roller rink, and after-school club centers.

New Gameplay Features

1. Teen Cliques & Social Circles
   • Join or form groups like Skaters, Gamers, Artsy Kids, Jocks, Drama Club, or Rebels.
   • Each clique has perks, traditions, and rivalries (boosts social success, but conflicts if mixing circles).
2. Part-Time Adventures
   • Teens can take side hustles like content creator collabs, babysitting gigs, street performing, or running a pop-up thrift stall.
   • A new Weekend Market Lot Type lets them sell baked goods, crafts, or thrifted items.
3. Teen Milestones
   • First party, first heartbreak, first concert, first car.
   • Each milestone affects traits (a bad breakup could leave your Sim more cautious in love).
4. Driving & Hangouts
   • Teens can learn to drive, with awkward driving lessons from parents.
   • New hangout interactions: sneaking out late, joyrides, or chilling in parking lots.
5. New Emotions & Drama
   • Embarrassed+, a deeper embarrassment system (tripping at school, bad acne, being ignored by crush).
   • Teen Crush System: Sims can develop crushes secretly, write notes, or confess (risk of rejection).

New Activities & Skills

  • Rebel (hates rules, sneaks out often).
  • Daydreamer (creative, drifts off in class).
