    This was an intentional change, all age spans were changed slightly.

@SimGuruNick Can you tell us the new lifespan lengths for each lifespan (short, normal, and long)? Definitely would appreciate it.

    I did some testing. This is nothing official though and I'm unable to test baby and toddlers, nor do I know the new average for elders. Someone with access to the tuning files probably knows more. I currently don't have time to check on that

    I tested like this:

    • Created new family with a Sim in each age group
    • Added them to a new save.
    • Since random days are added that way, I cheated satisfaction point and used the age potion to age them back to 0 days in their group
    • The toddler refused to drink the potion (which I can understand, they want to be all grown up)

    Results

      What about elders? I think they had 6 days before death before on short but it might have been less. I really can't remember. What is it now?

        @Amalathea 

        There are several things that influence elders such as fitness and completing certain aspirations so an accurate number of days can not be given.
