Out of curiosity, how old would you consider each age group in the Sims 4?For me: Babies: 0-1 Toddlers: 2-4 Children: 7-10 Teenagers: 16-18 (would say younger but they look exactly like young adults) Young Adults: 18-30 Adults: 30-55 Elders: 70-85

babies:0-2toddlers:2-5kids: 6-12 Spoiler (Highlight to read) school starts when 7 here but i do 6 cause it hard to see toddler matching that and i guess i could still pretend they go to preschool first school starts when 7 here but i do 6 cause it hard to see toddler matching that and i guess i could still pretend they go to preschool firstteens: 13-18Spoiler (Highlight to read) here 13 is when you change to another school level and 18 is just like considered the age you are legally adultas for the looks factor actually i kinda look the same as when i was 13 minus fashion cause i be looking oldass as kid and i was already rather tall and big so yeah i dont feel its all that weird if i make them dress bit more kiddy even tho ofc i would have liked teens to look different from ya in first place but well what is done is done here 13 is when you change to another school level and 18 is just like considered the age you are legally adultas for the looks factor actually i kinda look the same as when i was 13 minus fashion cause i be looking oldass as kid and i was already rather tall and big so yeah i dont feel its all that weird if i make them dress bit more kiddy even tho ofc i would have liked teens to look different from ya in first place but well what is done is doneyoung adult: 18- idk? 40?

I imagine them just about the exact same way. There's such a huge age gap between toddlers to kids and kids to teenagers.You have this toddler who's just learning to write or draw or whatever just got potty trained and learned to talk then blam! Now they're in school and doing homework.Same thing for kids-teens. These little kids look no older than 10 years old, playing with doll houses and toy cars etc, then blam! Now they're old enough to be able to drive, and make out, have girlfriends/boyfriends and are the exact same size as adults.I really liked it when teens were smaller than adults, because I could imagine them as the younger teens more easily, and then young adults in my head could be the "older" aged teens as well.

Babies:0-2Toddler:2-4Child:5-12Teen:13-18YA:18-35Adult:35-60Elder:60+

Babies: 0 to barely a year, they look like they came straight from the hospital. Toddlers: 2-3, they look very young. Children: 5-8, they look very small. Teenagers: 16-18, since they are all going to high school but they all look like they are 18 or older. Young Adults: 20-40, depends when you feel that you become an adult I guess. Adults: 50-70, I think adults in the sims4 look a bit old. Elders: 70-90, Elders look very old in the sims4.

I age my sims manually, but according to life stages I think I got from the game or EA back at release. I think most birthdays are fine, the only one I find unlogical is the change from teen to young adult as late as aged 29. Especially because University can not start until YA stage, it feels like they get too old before they are ready to build their new family. I think teenagers should turn young adult around 23+/-.I let my adults become elders at age og 71, and then they will normally die at age 85-90 which I find quite okay.PS: I'm glad we don't have any more life stages, because I find it rather tredious to bake all those cakes. Most of my sims don't even get to eat that cake, LOL. Wish there was another optional quick way to age up without a cake/party.

This is what I do. I don't base it on how old they look, but where the the age divisions logically fit.

I've not thought too much about some of the divisions before.

Babies: 0 - 18 months
Toddlers: 18 months - 4.5 years
Children: 7 - 12
Teenagers: 14 -19
Young Adults: 19 - 40
Adults: 40 - 65 (I would say this starts younger, but the adults are very wrinkly to be in their 30s.)
Elders: 70+

Time is fluid in my game. I don't really assign particular real-life numbers to age groups, but assign an age to individual sims only if they need one for story purposes (according to whatever age I think seems reasonable at the time). I think it would drive me nuts if I had to constantly try and translate the game's "unrealism" into real life time.
