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)

Age confusion at The Sims 2

If a sim ages into an elder in Sims 2, the age bar says that he/she is 54 days old. How exactly are those days counted? 3 days as a baby, 4 days as a toddler, 8 as child, 15 as teen and 29 as adult make up 59 days for me. Even if you take in the possibility that you can age up a sim if he's just one day away from the next life stage, it's still not correct since that isn't possible if your sim is a baby. So how did it come to 54 days?

Don't babies also skip a day if you grow them up using a birthday cake? Ideally, blowing the birthday cake will skip the age by 1 day, while naturally growing them up at 18:00 won't. Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 16:53, April 27, 2014 (UTC)

I'm going to go with the standard, all-purpose answer to questions like this -- EA goofed. Dharden (talk) 21:59, April 27, 2014 (UTC)

True story. And still, it would be nonsense that the age was counted for the days a birthday cake instead of regular growing-up was used... But well, the age bar generally screwed up in some place. 194.96.58.16 (talk) 20:39, April 28, 2014 (UTC)
