thanks that is exactly what i ment.

Oh, Thank you!

I think the life span is way too short. Most people in real life die of old age at 70-80.

It is especially in the first generations but their are many schools of thought on increasing longevity. feed the the fruits and vitamins from the store, buy only organic groceries,get the pool and treadmill and encourage exercise.... for the most part I have found in the early generations I can get to 65 easily just by purchasing the fruits and vitamins in the store whenever they show up and giving them to the parents. also I don't discourage exercise but don't praise for it until they have mastered their career.

As I usually note down peeps' age at death (or approximate age of death as you can't see it directly in newer versions of the game), I once went and calculated the average lifespan of my peeps (considering peeps from different families and generations - almost 200 or so total). I got an approximate age of 59 as the average. (though an average isn't always that significative, it wasn't that far off in this case, as most of my peeps usually die at ages 59-60).
