I'm amazed how many people think the child stage is as old as 12 or 13. There is no way that those kids look a day over ten to me. I think of them as occupying a very narrow age range from around 8-10. Maybe 7-11 at an absolute stretch.
Infants, so far, seem to me about four months to one year old, maybe a year and a half, based on both appearance and the milestones they are achieving. Toddlers seem to be roughly 2-4. So yeah, I feel like there's a big gap between toddlers and kids, and then again between kids and teens. Teens I think could be maybe 14 or 15, through 18-ish. Young adults seem to be roughly 18 to... maybe 28? Possibly even 30, I suppose. Because...

Sooo true. Literally me. Finished my last degree when I was 30. So I guess I was arguably not a full adult until then.
From there on, it makes more sense. Adulthood lasting roughly from 30 to around 60 seems reasonable. Also, unlike the younger life stages, there are more cosmetic ways to age up or age down your adult sims, with wrinkles, receding hairlines, etc., which can soften the transition from adult to elder, especially if you add them to your sim gradually over time. (Sobs again, also true to life.)
