Note: The durations of life stages stated here are subject to two caveats. The first is that the ''aging off'' [[Cheats/The Sims 2|cheat]] suspends aging for all Sims. The second is that from Teens 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 [[Career rewards#Laganaphyllis Simnovorii|Cowplant]] can also prolong life for up to five days.

The Sims

In The Sims there is only three ages: Baby, Child and Adult.

Babies can grow into children. However, Children do not grow up into Adults.

The Sims 2

There are seven Life Stages in The Sims 2.

Note: The durations of life stages stated here are subject to two caveats. The first is that the aging off cheat suspends aging for all Sims. The second is that from Teens 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 Cowplant can also prolong life for up to five days.

When a Sim is within one Sim day of transitioning from one age to another, it's their "Birthday", and they can then either wait for 6pm when they will automatically grow up, or players can trigger the age transition themselves with the "Grow Up" self-interaction, or the birthday cake. Babies and toddlers depend on a teen, adult or elder bringing them to the cake, and furthermore babies don't have the "Grow Up" interaction - they always need the assistance of an older Sims to become a toddler, no matter what.

The Sims 3

There are seven Life Stages in The Sims 3.
