Life stage
Seven Life Stages make up a Sim's life in The Sims 2.
- Baby: (3 days)
- Toddler: (4 days)
- Child: (8 days)
- Teen: (up to 15 days) Note: Teens can grow up early in order to go to University.
- Young Adult: (varies; usually 28 days) University only.
- Adult: (30 days)
- Elder: (varies)
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).
