Aging Process

 * What I find weird is that sometimes Sims of a particular age group (that you aren't currently using) age up later than they are meant to. This has sometimes resulted in a Young adult quickly racing through to their Adult lifespan and then to Elderhood. Or an Adult quickly aging to an Elder and then dying only a couple of days after that. And sometimes Elder Sims spend a number of days alive before their overdue Death finally triggers.

 * True. In my Sunset Valley, Bella Bachelor turned into a teenager about 5 days after Mortimer Goth. Even though they are very close in age. Joey.eyeball (talk) 08:13, February 11, 2014 (UTC)

At the start of the game, they are exactly the same age. You may already know this but just in case other readers don't. C.Syde65 (talk) 08:15, February 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * Exactly, so its a weird why they won't grow up together... Joey.eyeball (talk) 08:20, February 11, 2014 (UTC)

I think the developers needed to use more advanced game mechanics so that each Sim would age up right on schedule. Hopefully this will be improved by The Sims 4. C.Syde65 (talk) 08:26, February 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * Might as well add it to the list. Joey.eyeball (talk) 08:28, February 11, 2014 (UTC)

One of my Sims and one of the Sims the game made were childhood friends during childhood and teenagehood. My Sim was slightly younger, but he is currently a Young adult nearing Adulthood while his friend was a Young adult and then the next thing I knew she was an Elder.
