How long are your life stages?

Approximately two weeks to a real life year. That works out to about double normal (I think) except Adult is much extended. Elder stage is not especially shortened, it’s in line with the others.

Normal & turned off

With aging off.

Pretty much the default but with 2 days added for each lifestage. I may add an additional 2-3 days soon though because I want to experience more milestones.

Double normal for all but babies. Screw newborns for any longer than 3 days lol.

I play with aging off and I manually age up when I need to.

I have my set for long, but have aging turned off most of the time.

I'm currently trying normal after it was lenghtened. I'm hopeful it will suit my needs! In the past I've alternated between long and normal, but I was quite unhappy with that since it felt unfair for my sims.

Long with aging off, for now.
I tend to wait at least 3 Sims days to age up my baby and toddlers to children as fast as I can though, so technically they have the shortest life stage.

I have been playing with aging off for a while now. Before that I had custom length about 1.5 times the normal length for all ages.

Why are the only options for custom length with short for elders? I used the same factor for all ages, I don't see why I should single out elders. When I put aging back on, I will try to adjust the teen lifestage to match the length of the child lifestage, like it was before the high school year update.
