I finally got around to updating my old lifespans in The Sims 4!
With the release of infants, it was time for a refresh! Also, after playing the game for a while, I noticed that the older lifespans were a litttttle toooo lonnngg - so these provide a great balance for your sims to enjoy life and parenthood!
As always, I use MC Command Center to update these settings - I am willing to help anyone who doesn’t know how to find these settings using MCCC. 🤎
so some stuff has happened in my game!! Miranda had summer come over and they had a little slumber party and then Miranda gave birth to her son, Chandler gale!! (yes I names him after chandler from friends) Also, Marsha works at the hospital so thankfully she had a friend supporting her!!

you always loved love. from watching the prince and princess fall in love at first sight in movies, to crying about random older couples on the street. the only bad part about love is that it doesn't seem to find you… until the one person you hate proposes the idea of being in a “fake relationship,” and you would do anything to be loved… even if it happened to be fake.

generation six: blending in.
you always admired big friend groups and being surrounded by people. you wanted it, you needed it. but because of one simple flaw, you were kept at a distance. being an alien wasn't fun or quirky for you, it was isolating. you studied how to be human as much as you could... picking up several skills, doing weird jobs. finally, when you prepared yourself enough you took a big leap straight into business in hopes to blend into society as perfectly as you can.
