Lifespan

I don't think that sims can only live "up to 90 days". I've had healthy sims that lived 102 days and probably more, without the use of cheats or aspiration rewards. And then, if you send them to university, you get up to 24 more days. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.163.129.219 (talk) 02:28, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Elixir of Life (an aspiration reward) can also add to a Sim's lifespan, as well as earning "Permaplat" status. Miros1 (talk) 22:58, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

About zombie

I've noticed there's some dispute regarding zombie's addition in later EPs. I just want to say that zombie is indeed included in those EPs so people who doesn't have University do get zombies when they install these EPs. Based on that I think it should be included in the feature table. Krystaleen (talk) 11:32, 17 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
