Because on normal lifespan the teen lifestage is now 21 days long (it used to be1 3). Is this an intentional increase or a glitch?
ETA: the young adult and adult life stages are now also longer (young adult has gone from 21 days to 24 days and adult has gone from 24 days to 33 days.

On normal lifespan children and teens had 13 days and YA and Adults had 24. Don't know if any of that changed intentionally, but pretty sure the 8 days is a bug.

Oh right so have they now confirmed that the increased time in the teen lifestage is intentional?

I thought so. It's always nice when these kind of changes are mentioned in the patch notes 🙃

Oh no, life stages became even more disproportionate then. 44 days for babies+toddlers+children+teens, 58 days for YA+adults+elders. Even if sim has a baby right after becoming a YA, they will be 4 days from becoming an elder when said baby is also a YA. Which is super unrealistic, in real life they would be like 40.

YA used to be 21 days long but is now 24 days long. Adult used to be 24 days long and is now 33 days... I wonder if all of these increases are intentional or glitches. I hope we get some official confirmation/disconfirmation from the devs/simgurus either way soon.

I suspected as much, but I thought young adult was 24 days already? Not that it matters. It's good to see adult made a bit longer, as that does make more sense. It's still unbalanced, but oh well, default life spans never were realistic.
I thought that too but then MCCC seems to think the old default normal for YA was 21 days (but maybe I need to double check that). Either way, teen and adult have definitely both changed.

My first attempt at creating a Sims comic: The Parker-Goth Legacy.
I play on the long lifespan and it's showing that my young adult and adult sims have like 80 days or more left of their life stage when I have already played with them for 56 days of their current life stage. The math doesn't add up if you check how long each life stage should last.
This makes no sense since young adult and adults are also affected and they don't play in high school apart from one or two of them.
See SimGuruNick's post on the bug report:
EA_Cade confirmed it on this forum too.
I wish they would have included it in the patch notes to make it clear it's not a bug.
