The length of a midlife crisis is the quarter of adult stage lifespan, truncated to the ceiling. In a normal lifespan, a midlife crisis lasts for 6 days. The length will be changed if the player adjusts the lifespan and adult age length in the game option. A Sim who has lifespan multiplier will have the midlife crisis length extended. For example, a vampire will have five times the length, and Sims who have wished for long life from a genie will have twice the length. The midlife crisis will never end for a vampire with '''Immortal''' [[lifetime reward]],{{confirm}} so it is better to get therapy from the [[hospital]] to end the crisis.
▲===Midlife crisis [[Wish|wishes]]===
Once or twice a day your sim will get a midlife crisis wish, you may or may not choose to select it. The wishes look the same as regular wishes, but they have a red background. But beware - once you promise a midlife crisis wish to a sim, it cannot be cancelled, and will disappear after the midlife crisis is over. Moreover, when a midlife crisis wish has been promised, the midlife crisis moodlet will turn negative until the wish is fulfilled. Wishes may vary but some will include getting a divorce, quiting work or moving house.▼

*Try to make sure the Sim experiences as few events from the percentage system listed above to reduce the chance of a midlife crisis.
*Sims can
*Promise the Sim a random midlife crisis wish then get a witch to cast a Sunlight Charm on him/her. This will eliminate the midlife crisis and the wish can thus be cancelled.
*When traveling to Egypt, France, or China, the midlife crisis will be canceled.
▲*Sims can also go to the hospital to "Get Therapy" to cure the crisis. The payment in order to be cured is §2,000.
