Talk:Life stage

If the Sim age (life expectancy of 90 days) divided by 1.2, we obtain the human age. Results below:

• Baby - 0-2 years
• Toddler - 2-7 years
• Child - 7-13 years
• Teen - 13-25 years
• Young Adult - 25-43 years
• Adult - 43-60 years
• Elder - 60-75 years
• Death - after 75 years

Bella Goth - My hobbies include organ practice and gardening of the lethal variety. TALK - Have you seen my family? I don't think these are accurate. for the real world: Baby- 0-2 Toddler 2-4 Child- 5-12 Teen- 13-18 Young Adult- 18-30 Adult- 30-50 Elder- 50-

I have to agree with Bella Goth's one. Isn't 43 a pretty old young adult? Bleeh ^[iTalk] 17:03, February 20, 2010 (UTC)

I'm assuming that TS3's adult stage is meant to be more-or-less equivalent to real-life middle age. 30 isn't middle-aged, but you can start to see it from there. I'd set the break between young adult and adult at somewhere around 40, give-or-take a couple of years. As for elder starting at 50, no, not in any modern society. I'd put young adult at 19 to 40, adult at 40 to 65, and elder at 65 and up. Dharden 18:11, February 20, 2010 (UTC)

Birthday Cake

"It is also possible to use a birthday cake to age up Sims. However, a Sim can only be aged up once. " -the article

Personally I've never encountered this restriction. I've often made babies skip all the way to teens using just cakes. Is there somethin wrong with my game or is the above statement an outright fabrication?

I believe it meant "Once per life stage", or "Once per age". I'll correct the mistake. Thanks for the notice! Nikel _Talk 10:49, June 14, 2012 (UTC)
