I would love to add 4 more life stages (in capital letters): Newborn - Infant - Toddler - PRESCHOOLER - Child - TWEEN - Teen - Young Adult - Adult - MIDDLE AGED - Elder - OLD (or a better name ...

Well, a toddler is a preschooler, at least where I live in the USA. So that would be a pointless addition. Preschool is age 3 to 4 (sometimes 5), which is covered if you play a toddler enough to gain levels 4 and 5 in skills.
While I understand the want for preteen, you can also do that via gameplay by keeping attention to the age in days. Child gets 13/14 days. What I do is dress them more child-like with clothing selections for week 1. During week 2 they should have skills high enough to appear older and you can dress them to look older with certain clothing selections. You can also make a teen appear younger with clothing choices and gameplay, which can help with the illusion of young teen versus an older teen.
Adult stage is the middle age lifestage, especially if you can pay attention to the days of the lifestage, which is 42. I also do that through gameplay, the same as I do with the previous two lifestages mentioned in my comment.
I use the in-game calendar to help me. I set up a "holiday" reminder without any traditions. Then on the morning of that reminder I do the changes in CAS for the illusion. Most times the gameplay I do is in the pace to get their skills match the illusion.
More lifestages is only going to "replace" significant gameplay. At least that is my opinion on this subject. Btw, I use the normal lifespan for my descriptions above.
a toddler is a preschooler
A toddler is 1-3 years old.
A preschooler is 3-6 years old.Perti23, actually a toddler can go up to age 4. Not every child goes to "pre-school." I know I didn't send all THREE of my own children. They were all taught those skills at home by their parents, just as many toddlers should be taught. While age 5 can be a kindergartener, that also is not required everywhere. I know where I live, children are not required to start school until age 6 to 7 or what is referred to 1st grade. There isn't a school for younger than child age in the game, so I just play as if the parents are required teach all needed skills before the child is able to attend school.
