A '''life stage''' is the age of a [[Sim]]. Sims do not age continuously, day by day, year by year, but all at once, "jumping" to the next stage in life.
Line 11:
In ''[[The Sims]]'', there are only three stages: [[Baby#The Sims|baby]], [[Child#The Sims|child]], and [[Adult#The Sims|adult]].
Babies grow into children after 72 hours. Children do not grow up into adults, although the ''[[The Sims: Makin' Magic|Makin' Magic]]'' expansion allows magical children to grow up by using the Age of Instant [[

* '''[[Child#The Sims 2|Child]]:''' (8 days)
* '''[[Teen#The Sims 2|Teen]]:''' (up to 15 days) Note: With ''[[University]]'', teens can grow up early in order to go to [[College (sub-neighborhood)#The Sims 2: University|college]].
* '''[[Young adult#The Sims 2|Young adult]]:'''{{Vgversion|TS2:U}} (varies; usually 24 days)

Note: The durations of life stages stated here are subject to two caveats. The first is that the <code>aging off</code> cheat suspends aging for all Sims. The second is that, from teen onwards, Sims can use the [[Elixir of Life]] reward object to prolong life by 3 days (if successful) or shorten it by 3 days (if unsuccessful). Drinking from the [[Laganaphyllis Simnovorii|cowplant]] will also prolong life for five days.{{vgversion|

If a residential lot originally built in a [[College (sub-neighborhood)|college]] [[sub-neighborhood]] is placed in the [[Lots and Houses bin]], and then in a non-college area, its aging controller may remain stuck. Sims moved into such a lot will not age until they are moved into a lot with a working aging controller. The aging controller can be unstuck by moving the Sims out, making a [[build mode]] edit that changes the way the lot appears in the neighborhood view, and moving the Sims back in.

With [[The Sims 3/Patch 22|patch 22]], a new option enables players to adjust lifespan for each life stage. Some [[life state]]s have a lifespan multiplier that extends the ages in young adult and adult stages. For example, [[Vampire (The Sims 3)|vampires]] have 5x multiplier, which extends a Sim's age in young adult to 105 days in normal setting or 1125 days in epic setting.
A Vampire can live up to 9150 days (25 real years) with maximum settings, making it the longest survivable without [[cheats]] or [[Trait|traits]].
It is also possible to use a birthday cake to age up Sims at anytime. However, a Sim can only be aged up once per age. Players can also use the testingcheatsenabled true cheat, then shift+click a Sim, then click "trigger age transition". Players can do this as many times as they want, but doing this with elder Sims will kill them.
Line 110 ⟶ 112:
As in ''[[The Sims]]'', there are only 3 life stages in ''[[The Sims Medieval]]'': [[baby]], [[child]], and [[adult]]. The player cannot create children or babies, only hero Sims, who can only be adults. While the "Age modifier" can be used to make a hero Sim appear older, technically the Sims are still adults. Female Sims with this appearance can still be impregnated.
In a patch, the "Child Succession" feature was added. If a hero Sim

''[[The Sims 4]]'' has seven life stages: baby, toddler, child, teen, young adult, adult, and elder. Unlike ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims 3'', ''The Sims 4'' initially did not have the toddler life stage, which was added in with [[The Sims 4/Patch 46|Patch 46]].
All played Sims who are not in the active household will age automatically off-screen, unless auto-age is switched off or to 'Only Active Household'.
Occasionally, a Sim may get an invitation over the phone from their friend living in a different household to attend their birthday [[party]], which can be up to several days before the latter Sim is actually due to age up. The former Sim may decline and the latter Sim will age up at the time they are due to do so.
