Lifespan

Lifespan is a setting in the options menu of The Sims 3 that determines how long a Sim's natural life will be. As always, the Sim may die a premature, unnatural Death, regardless of this setting.

You can lenghten a sim lifespan in game without altering game settings by eating Life fruits and Ambrosias, earning the Marathon Runner Athletic skill challenge or Being a Vegetarian.


 * Short: 25 Sim days
 * Medium: 50 Sim days
 * Normal: 90 Sim days
 * Long: 190 Sim days
 * Epic: 960 Sim days

A Sim may artificially lengthen their lifespan by eating Life Fruit.

Unfortunately meals made with Life Fruit, such as Life Fruit Pancakes, do not have the same rejuvenating effect.

Ambrosia, on the other hand, requires Life Fruit and Death Fish as an ingredient and has a different rejuvenating effect; it instead resets the remaining days to age up.

Aging can also be turned off in the options menu to temporarily or permanently stop every Sim in town from aging.

You may also regain lost life by having a relation with the following:Male,female,pizza boy,death in that order.
