{{distinguish|Life stages (pet)}}
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.
== ''The Sims'' ==
In ''[[The Sims]]'' there are only three ages: [[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 [[Spells (The Sims: Makin' Magic)#List_of_charms|charm]]. There are third-party programs which can grow a child into an adult. There are also hacked objects which can allow a child to function as an adult - or vice versa.
== ''The Sims 2'' ==
There are seven life stages in ''[[The Sims 2]]''.
* '''[[Baby#The Sims 2|Baby]]:''' (3 days)
* '''[[Toddler#The Sims 2|Toddler]]:''' (4 days)
* '''[[Child#The Sims 2|Child]]:''' (8 days)
* '''[[Teen#The Sims 2|Teen]]:''' (up to 15 days) Note: Teens can grow up early in order to go to ''[[University]]''.
* '''[[Young adult#The Sims 2|Young adult]]:''' (varies; usually 24 days) University only.
* '''[[Adult#The Sims 2|Adult]]:''' (29 days)
* '''[[Elder#The Sims 2|Elder]]:''' (varies; 9–31 days) Sims who have higher [[aspiration]] levels when aging generally get more time, but there is a random element. Followed by [[death]].
Note: The durations of life stages stated here are subject to two caveats. The first is that the ''aging off'' [[List of The Sims 2 cheats|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 [[Career rewards#Laganaphyllis Simnovorii|cowplant]] can also prolong life for up to five days.{{vgversion|University}} Sims that are teen or older can become [[zombie]]s{{vgversion|University}} or [[vampire]]s{{vgversion|Nightlife}}, which also stops them from aging.
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. When using the cake, babies and toddlers depend on a teen, adult or elder to bring them to it. Furthermore babies don't have the "Grow Up" [[interaction]] - they always need the assistance of an older Sim to become a toddler, no matter what.
== ''The Sims 3'' ==
In ''[[The Sims 3]]'', babies and toddlers has been given 2 and 3 more days, but the others seem to decrease by 1 and 2. Also, elders will always live a minimum of 16 days. All Sims will now start from young adult if default.
There are seven life stages in ''The Sims 3''.

With Patch 22, a new option enables player to adjust Lifespan for each Life Stage.
You can also use a birthday cake to age up Sims. But remember, you can only age them up ONCE per day. You can also use the testingcheatsenabled true cheat, then shift+click a Sim, then click trigger age transition. You can do this as many times as you want to, but be careful not to do this on an elder Sim, because it will kill them.

==The Sims Medieval==
Much like ''[[The Sims]]'', there are only 4 life stages in ''[[The Sims Medieval]]'': [[Baby]], [[Child]], [[Adult]] and [[Death]]. 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 recent patch the "Child Succession" feature was added, If a hero Sim who had one or more children dies, then the new hero select menu will have the option to choose "Child Succession". This will make the child Sim the new hero, as a controllable adult Sim.
