This keeps the younger ages about the same length, while extending the older stages. I have based the ages around the metric that 2 Sim days is equivalent to one real-world year. I have created this mod to rebalance the life stages to be more realistic.
If we consider adulthood to be ages 30-65, that’s 35 years! More than double what being a toddler and child should be. In real life, the toddler and child ages take 12 years. In the game, the toddler and child ages added together take the same amount of time as the adult age.
Your Sims do not have enough time to go to university, enjoy young adulthood, date, get married, raise a family, and finally become an empty nester and enjoy their retirement. The lifespans in The Sims 4 are not realistically balanced.
