Lifespan….

I was playing with my lifespans on four time the long length but lost patience waiting for the babies to age up. So now I'm playing with only two times the long span, it is nice being able to rotate between all my households and keep aging on without worrying about anyone aging up too soon.

I have 4 saves, and I have aging turned on in one of them. I have it set for normal lifespan, but thinking about setting it to fast--I only play that save once in awhile, so it takes a very long time for someone to age up

It'ld be too long for me...
I play 90 sim days:
- baby 2 days (0 to 2 years old)
- toddler 2 days (3 to 4 years old)
- children 7 days (5 to 11 years old)
- teenager 14 days (12 to 25 years old)
- young adult 21 days (26 to 46 years old)
- adult 27 days (47 to 73 years old)
- elder 17+ days (74 to 90+ years old)

That way my sims can help their grandchildren grow... I'm just noticing i play the teenage years a bit more than what it should be, maybe i should take a few years from that span and add it to ya...

I play rotation and I usually have aging turned off. What I normally do is use seasons to track the passage of time.

All my merfolk and vampires are immortal. It's a play on the beauty of eternal youth for merfolk. I'm a bit upset that immortals of different generations can't all be young adults.

Anyways, I age my sims manually. After reading this thread, I might age sims up if their rotation falls on the winter season.

Teens will probably get aged up if I decide that it's time. When Teens age up, that's when character values turn into special traits.

never and i keep aging fully turn off and will never let my simsage or die

I do that, it’s really when the story calls for progression, is when I age up a character.
But aging is off and I try to align the seasons in the Sims 4 to real life, it’s Autumn in my game, but Halloween has actually already passed, and thanks giving is in two weeks
But my Sims basically have a really long life span. And I don’t age them up until all Sims in their generation on on the same page.
