More ages to fill big age jumps

I would like to add 4 new age categories (in capital letters):
Newborn -  Infant - Toddler - PRESCHOOLER - Child - PRETEEN - Teen - Young Adult - Adult - MIDDLE AGED - Elder - OLD  (or a better name for someone who is older than elder )

I feel the jumps from toddler to child and from child to teenager are too big. We have gotten so many more baby ages (that I love) that it only seems fitting we get a couple more child ages. It would make it more fun to have many children in one family without having to make/get twins or triplets.

I would also like two more adult ages: ”Middle aged” and ”Old”. Because you are an Adult for a very long time, and we already have ”Midlife crisis” in the game that might be expanded. The Middle aged Sim could just have more wrinkles than Adult and put on some more weight that is more difficult to lose despite exercise and diet. 

I really want the ”Old” age because I want to be able to make great grandparents as well. I love making big families with large family trees. And it seems silly that the Elder Sim has some backpain and then it’s time to die. The Old Sim should need a cane, walker or wheelchair. And have more health issues than Elder, that older people usually get. They get more confused, have memory loss, problems with incontinence/use diaper, have lesser hearing (the Sims need to speak louder/clearer to them or use hearing aid) and eye sight (you can help reading for them, and maybe add more ”old looking” glasses), and false teeth and/or no teeth.

I can see an Expansion Pack for this as well: RETIREMENT. Where you have retirement homes and nurses. They can have day activities they can participate in, a specific time for meals and medicine, visitation from family members, go for slow walks and do water/pool exercises.
 
And if you don’t want your Sim in a retirement home you could hire a day nurse and/or night nurse that comes to your house (like the cleaning service) OR have a live in nurse (like the butler)!
