Oh, well that was simple.
Oh, come on, this is highschool math!
For example: The default death chance for normal lifespan is 14%. So if you use an old-fashioned calculator or the Windows calculator in science mode, you simply enter 0.86 (1 - 14/100, who needs a calculator for that, and is older than 12, is too stupid to buy himself a bun and tell if he got the correct change, thus should have the propriety to just die to make the world a better place), hit "ln", hit "1/x", and hit "+/-". The outcome is ~6.63, which means Elders are expected to live ~7 days beyond their minimum life span. Really, what is not simple about that?

Yes, but remember, he's an F. Fs are a bit, you know, STUPID.
Treehugger:
I like the idea of this modI find the age ranges far more realistic than what is currently offered in the Sims 3. I see that I am not the only person who is bored with the exaggerated length of time for the teen years. But at least in the Sims 3 you can age them up early with the birthday cake whereas with the Sims 2 all you could do was send them to Uni which added a whole new dimension of boredom.
I think the reason Eaxis make the teen age span so long is they think that is the age of the people playing the sims because all they see on the BBS is 12s being well 12s, not realising that anyone older has fled the inanity of the BBS and found oases of sanity elsewhere.
The only thing I don't like about this mod is that the overall lifespan is reduced to 80 days I would rather it had been kept at 90 days. The thing about those life expectancy tables that someone linked is that they are lefe expectancy at birth and include the possibility that the person could die prematurely as an infant, child or adult. Which is why the figures for the third world countries suck so much because they have much higher infant mortality rates. Even in western countries such as Canada and New Zealand there is the change you could die young because of a motor vehicle accident or cancer. The actual life expectancy of someone who reaches the age of 70 in a western is higher than you would expect from those tables.
Maybe you could make three versions of this mod with the life expectancies for the medium life span set to 74, 80, or 90 days.

Jeebus.
Dingaling, look, you've already been told about noone but for some reason you have an obsession about him. Someone, I think it was Liz, already informed you that the word is no-one. Please pay attention and stop trying to ape your betters in the sporking stakes. Quite frankly you are becoming more retarded by the hour.
