in the sims 3 we used to be able to customize how long each life stage was. is that possible for sims 4? I'm playing a legacy challenge and the heir I chose is still a toddler and her mom is about to be an elder lol don't want her being taken away as I'm kicking the other siblings out for being ugly

Otherwise, you can change life spans to be short, normal, or long.
I hope this gets patched to the game at some point. The sims 3 didn't have this feature for like, a year or something? But eventually it got patched in.
If you have the points have your sims purchase the Potion of Youth from the Reward Store that will reset the sims age to the beginning of their current lifespan.
Or you could use the cas.fulledit cheat which should allow you to set the mom to whatever age you want her to be.
Alternatively you could just keep one other household member around until the heiress reaches their teen life stage and kick them out then.
Sometimes I tweak aging by going into the gameplay settings. I basically do that to lengthen a sim's lifespan in a customized way. My default aging is normal length but in practice, I often draw things out.
Also those challenges (as far I had read) does not ban mods

You can choose a long life span. Apart from that, you can only make their lives longer by using an aspiration award and/or the wishing well.
NICE!!!!!! Realistic is pretty close to the way I age them manually. Nice to see this. I thanked you and gave you a favorite check. I give the infant 30-35 days, the toddler, and child 100 days each. The teen 150 days, the YA, adult and elder 450 days each. That is if an elder makes it that far - they tend to overdo and seriously put that number in jeopardy in some elders. LOL. So keeping them fit seems to be the best way to keep them around.

Does this mod conflict with mccc and can I select and use EA lifespans in some saves and this in others?
