How old are the sims in each life stage?

I always Google it because I forget. Sims Wiki page has this info.

Thanks, but I meant what is the real life age that they're supposed to be. Is a child sim supposed to be 9 years old, a teen 19 etc?

That's really up to player interpretation. They've never laid it out to us.

For story purposes, I'll decide after a certain number of days a toddler ages from 1 to 2, or a child from 8 to 9 for example. It can get a bit vague in the adult and elder stages, they're usually as old as I need them to be for the story.

I go with toddlers=3, kids=10 and teens=17. Each one seven years apart.

This is what I imagine. 16 or 17 for the teens. YA 20-30's. Adults 40-50's. 60's and abover for edler. A little more than halfway through the Adult stage, depending on the sim, I will age them slowly with the gray/brown or gray/black hair swatch (if they aren't a blonde or a redhead). Then also add the skin details to make them older.

For me, it’s like this:

Toddler: 2-4
Child: 8-10
Teen: 16-18
YA: 18-40
Adult: 40-65
Senior: 65+

It’s approximately in line with the game ages for YA and A. Teens are too old, I’d have prefferred them to look younger (making them look older isn’t hard).

I think of toddlers as being from 1 to 4 because they start out just learning to walk and talk and when they become children they start school. Children are 5 to 13, teens 14 to 20ish. Young adults start careers, get married, etc, so I think of them as being done with schooling and in the age range of 22 to 40. Adults are 40 to 65 and elders 65+.

Well, my two nephews were taller than me when they were 13 or 14 years old, so the height thing has never bothered me as much as it seems to other people.

This is what I use too, more or less. I do play the child and teen stages as longer and use clothes and hairstyles and room decor to help me differentiate between younger and older children and younger and older teens.

I think it varies depending on the sim. All the sims I have are YAs. Morris & Esme look to me to be early 30's, where as DeKay's Dylan who I added looks like he's early-mid 20s.
