Note: The durations of life stages stated here are subject to two caveats. Elder: (varies range is 9–30 days) Sims who have higher aspiration levels when aging generally get more time, but there is a random element.Young adult: (varies usually 24 days) Lasts until the Sim leaves the college sub-neighborhood.Teen: (up to 15 days) Note: With University, teens can grow up early in order to go to college.There are seven life stages in The Sims 2. Children and adults have indefinite lifespans, and cannot die via aging. There are also hacked objects which can allow a child to function as an adult, or vice versa. There are third-party programs which can grow a child into an adult. This change is permanent and cannot be reversed.
Children do not grow up into adults, although the Makin' Magic expansion allows magical children to grow up by using the Age of Instant charm, however their head will be completely randomized and may not look like they did when they were a child. In The Sims, there are only three stages: baby, child, and adult.īabies grow into children after 72 hours but are basically considered objects.
