12 life stages in TS5



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?

    To be honest, I'd be happy with those:

    Newborn
    Infant
    Toddler
    Child
    Preteen
    Teen
    Young Adult
    Adult
    Elder

    I don't get the point of pre-school stage though... What does this mean? I live in a country where children go to school when they're 7, so I really am confused about that

    The Sims has always been a little bit unrealistic, so a little bit of unrealism is OK.


    Preschool here in America is for children ages 4-6 and is called Pre-Kindergarten (4-5) and Kindergarten (5-6).
