Line 1: {{For\|ages of Sims\|Life stages}} {{Missing-info\|''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims 4''}} '''Lifespan''' is the length of a ~~setting~~Sim's age in each [[life stage]], which also depends on their [[life state]]. Sims' lifespan can be set in the options menu of ''[[The Sims 3]]'' that determines how long a Sim's natural life will be. As always, the Sim may die a premature, unnatural [[~~Death~~death]], regardless of this setting. You can lenghten a sim lifespan in game without altering game settings by eating Life fruits and Ambrosias, earning the Marathon Runner [[Athletic skill]] challenge or Being a [[List of Traits\|Vegetarian]]. The player can lengthen a Sim's lifespan in game without altering game settings by having them eat a [[Life Fruit]] (restores one day) or [[Ambrosia]] (resets days to age up), drink a [[Alchemy#Elixirs\|Fountain of Youth Elixir]] (sets life stage to first day of young adult), become a [[Vegetarian (The Sims 3)\|Vegetarian]] or a [[creature]] like a [[mummy]] or a [[vampire]], who live a number of days longer than a normal Sim. * Short: ±25 Sim days▼ * Medium: ±50 Sim days * Normal: ±90 Sim days * Long: ±190 Sim days * Epic: ±960 Sim days Aging can also be turned off in the options menu to stop every Sim in town from aging. Drinking [[Potion#The Sims 3: Generations\|Age Freeze potion]] will disable aging of an individual Sim, regardless the aging option. With ''[[Generations]]'' or [[The Sims 3/Patch 22\|patch 22]], the length of each life stage can be adjusted individually. The length ranges from the Short lifespan to Epic: ▲* Short: 25 Sim days [[Baby\|Babies]] ~~Medium:~~range 50from ~~Sim~~1–65 days [[Toddler]]s ~~Normal:~~range 90from ~~Sim~~2–150 days [[Child]]ren ~~Long:~~range ~~190~~from ~~Sim~~2–150 days [[Teen]] ~~Epic:~~sims ~~960~~range ~~Sim~~from 3–300 days [[Young Adult]]s range from 5–450 days [[Adult]]s range from 5–450 days [[Elder]]s range from 4–265 days [[Pet]]s ([[cat]]s, [[dog]]s, [[horse]]s){{Vgversion\|TS3:P}} also have their own lifespan, and like Sims, each of their life stage can be adjusted individually. Their lifespan option, however, is connected with Sims. If Sims have their lifespan set on Epic, the pets will also be in Epic lifespan. ~~A Sim may artificially lengthen their lifespan by eating [[Life Fruit]]. <br />~~ ~~Unfortunately meals made with Life Fruit, such as Life Fruit Pancakes, do not have the same rejuvenating effect.~~ ==Lifespan Multiplier== ~~[[Ambrosia]], on the other hand, requires Life Fruit and [[Fishing (The Sims 3)\|Death Fish]] as an ingredient and has a different rejuvenating effect; it instead resets the remaining days to age up.~~ Several life states have extended lifespans. These life states have a lifespan multiplier that multiplies the default length of their young adult and adult stages. [[Mummy]]{{vgversion\|TS3:WA}}: 5x multiplier [[Vampire (The Sims 3)\|Vampire]]{{vgversion\|TS3:LN}}{{vgversion\|TS3:SN}}: 5x multiplier [[Unicorn]]{{vgversion\|TS3:P}}: 3x multiplier (of horses) [[Genie]]{{vgversion\|TS3:ST}}: 2x multiplier [[Werewolf]]{{vgversion\|TS3:SN}}: 1.5x multiplier [[Fairy]]{{vgversion\|TS3:SN}}: 5x multiplier This means that when a Sim turns into a vampire, their age length in Normal lifespan as a young adult (previously 21) becomes 21 x 5 = 105 days. Additionally, Sims who wish for long life from a [[Genie#The Sims 3\|genie]] will get a 2x multiplier on their age. ~~Aging can also be turned off in the options menu to temporarily or permanently stop every Sim in town from aging.~~ ==Trivia== ~~You may also regain lost life by having a relation with the following:Male,female,pizza boy,death in that order.~~ If the average real-world life span of 80 years is used in an equation, then it can be calculated that one day in ''The Sims 3'' is equivalent to about 324 real-life days. One hour is 13.5 days and one minute is 5.4 hours. However, if ''Seasons'' was installed, a day in ''The Sims 3'' has a varying equivalent of almost two days to a month in the real world depending on the user's settings. * On an average setting, a year in the real world would be equivalent to 28 Sim days. This would make the "normal" lifetime of a Sim (90 Sim days) really short, stopping at around 3.21 years old, and the shortest possible lifespan (22 Sim days) being less than a year, equivalent to around 286.7805 real-life days. * Making a Sim live at a maximum allowable lifespan (around 1928 Sim days on Epic setting), and shortening the year from ''Seasons'' (from an average of 28 Sim days to the minimum of 12 Sim days per year) would make a Sim live at a maximum lifespan of an astonishing 160 years, assuming this is not modified by any means such as consuming [[Ambrosia]] or turning into an another life state. On the other hand, the shortest possible lifespan, even with the 12-day minimum, would make a Sim live just under two years.
