'''Adult''' is a [[life stage]] in ''[[The Sims]]'', ''[[The Sims 2]]'', ''[[The Sims 3]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4]]''. In ''The Sims 2'', it is normally the longest [[Life stages|life stage]] in a [[Sim]]'s life; in ''The Sims 3'', it is the same length as the [[Young adult#The Sims 3|young adult]] stage. In ''The Sims'' it is the last life stage before [[death]], while in ''The Sims 2, The Sims 3, ''and ''The Sims 4'' it is followed by the [[elder]] life stage. In ''The Sims 2'', it is the default age for Sims created in [[Create a Sim|CAS]].▼

▲'''Adult''' is a [[life stage]] in
In this stage, Sims can take up full-time [[careers]], get [[Marriage|married]], give [[pregnancy|birth]] and [[adopt]] children. In ''The Sims'', they are the only Sims who can prepare [[food]]. Consequently, it is fairly difficult for a household to function without adults.

==The Sims==
In ''The Sims'', being an adult is permanent and children do not become adults without [[spells (The Sims: Makin' Magic)|spells]], [[mod]]s, or third-party [[tool]]s. While adult Sims can [[death#The Sims|die]] if something kills them, they never age, so they have indefinite lifespans. It is the main lifespan of the Sims in this game.
==The Sims 2==
In ''The Sims 2'', the adult stage is the longest and most important life stage. It is preceded by the [[teen]] life stage, or the optional [[young adult]] stage if ''[[The Sims 2: University]]'' is installed. It is the only life stage in which a Sim can get [[pregnant]] and get a full-time job. Adult Sims that are 5 days or less away from becoming elders cannot get pregnant.
In [[The Sims 2 (console)|''The Sims 2'' for console]], adult is the only life stage in the game; much like ''The Sims'', Sims do not [[age]].
==The Sims 3==
[[File:
In ''The Sims 3'', the adult stage is no longer the default age when entering [[Create a Sim]], having been replaced in this role by a new version of the young adult stage. Adults in ''The Sims 3'' instead represent middle-aged Sims, and are approximately between 40 years old and retirement age. They will gain a few wrinkles upon aging up from young adults, but not to the same extent as Sims in the elder stage.
Gameplay-wise, there are few noticeable differences between an adult and a young adult; they can still get married, join [[careers]] and have children, and will not gain any further [[Trait (The Sims 3)|traits]]. However, the likelihood of a female adult Sim successfully becoming pregnant when attempting the Try for Baby interaction is somewhat lower than it is for a young adult Sim.
If ''[[The Sims 3: Generations]]'' is installed, adults are slightly more distinct from young adults. Depending on their actions and achievements (or lack thereof) as a young adult, a Sim may experience a [[midlife crisis]] at the beginning of the adult stage. This causes the Sim to gain a special moodlet for the next seven days, which will cause them to roll midlife crisis-related wishes distinguished by a red background. If the player promises and fulfills the Sim's crisis wishes, the moodlet will become a positive one, but if no wishes are fulfilled the moodlet will become negative. Any crisis wishes promised by the player cannot be canceled until the moodlet expires, though a midlife crisis can be ended early by going to the hospital and selecting the new "Get Therapy" option.▼

In ''The Sims 4'', the adult stage follows the young adult stage and is before the elder stage. Adults are slightly fatter and saggier than young adults and gain several wrinkles and lines, but not to the same extent as elders. Adults will no longer gain new traits and take 24 days in the normal lifespan to age up.

In gameplay, adults are largely the same as young adults. They can still go to work, get married and have children, though female adults are less likely to become pregnant after attempting the "Try for Baby" interaction. Unlike in ''The Sims 3'', adults can be a parent of a young adult when connecting relationships in CAS.
