As a gamer who loves creating large families and expanding them across cities, I'd like to see 12 life stages in The Sims 5 so that character growth isn't abrupt and truly mimics what happens in real life.
The attached image represents well what these phases would be, each with their respective heights and characteristics: 1 - Newborn 2 - Lap baby 3 - Baby 4 - Preschool 5 - Child 6 - Pre-teen 7 - Teenager 8 - Young adult 9 - Adult 10 - Middle age 11 - Elderly 12 - Elder
At the player's discretion, the lifespan could be short, normal, or long. What do you think?
I feel like there should be another stage between Middle age and Elderly. I would call it Senior citizen, where they have white hair but can still walk straight. A middle age person doesn't go straight to hunch back and a cane. As for the Elder stage, not all very old people walk with a frame. Maybe for old age, they could have variations on how mobile they are depending on how well they took care of their health during younger years.
