This is a global mod that changes the lifespan of your Sims.
The new lifespan lets you see how old your Sims are, compared to real life age, and fixes the disproportion between teens and adults. One day is one year.
Oct 2023 Update
New version: What I Use - requested!
This means shorter elders!
Originally, the game gives elders a base of 10 days, then randomizes a 1-10 number and adds that, and then adds more days based on aspiration score (or subtracts, but this is only the case for full red). When someone finally explained to me how elders work, I edited my original lifespan to have more consequences for bad aspiration score and shorter elders in general, so:
The base number is still 10, but the random number Sims get is now 1-5.
Platinum aspiration is +10 (like the original, but Sims live shorter due to different random number, so the happiest Sims will live max 85 years, considering that elder starts at 60)
Gold aspiration is +5 (elder lasts from 16 to 20 days)
Green aspiration is +0 (elder lasts from 11 to 15 days)
Slight red (or in between) aspiration is -4 (elder lasts from 7 to 11 days)
Red aspiration is -8 (elder lasts from 3 to 7 days)
This version has 10-day toddler PlantSims - it's the base mod with edited elders.
Here are the exact days and ages of your Sims. I recommend aging babies up 1 day earlier (right when the notification pops up) because you can't set this stage's span to less than 2 days. All the further ages will be shown considering you did age up the baby after 1 day.
Baby - 1 day (technically 2, as I said above; ends at 1 year old)
Toddler - 5 days (ends at 6 years old)
Child - 7 days (ends at 13 years old)
Teenager - 9 days (technically 10, but I give you one extra day to send them to college; ends at 22 years old)
Adult - 38 days (ends at 60 years old)
Elder - default (I didn't change anything, so your elders will live somewhere up to age 85)
Plantsims
In the basic version, Plantsims' lifespan has been changed to:
Toddler - 10 days
Adult - 38 days
Elder - default
Flavors for PlantSims!!!
In the Equal version, PlantSims' lifespan has been likened to the human one, so:
Toddler - 22 days (all the way up to human's adulthood)
Adult - 38 days (the same as the basic one)
Elder - default
The Default version leaves the original lifespan of PlantSims (toddler - 4, adult - 29).
Please note that this lifespan activates after the next birthday or in a newly created family (after you've installed the mod).
Although, you can use THIS MOD to calculate and adjust the lifespan of already existing Sims.
It's very possible the mod works with only the base game, BUT I recommend using it with the Ultimate Collection, as that's what it was created with!
The only known conflict for this mod would be another mod that changes the lifespan.

To make this, I edited tuning in ijAgecons from Simlogical, it can be found here.
