What is the average age for the first death in your games? I have my first generation going, but my peeps have hit 58 and 57 and I'm scared to death to leave them! All 6 of my kids have left home and my parents are doing good. I was just wondering if it's likely to be soon. Thanks!

I'm sorry to say that it is likely to be soon. My first death was at 57, and the youngers often die first for me. The first death is the hardest. At best, they might be able to live into their late 60s/early 70s, in the later genarations. Just take good care of them and maybe they'll live a little longer.

The average for me would be somewhere in the low 60s.. I think the youngest was 59, highest was 68. It can depend on whether you're using organics in the fridge, giving them vitamins, fruits and hand gels to work on their health and praising them when they do good things for their health like work out.

Even with all the pampering we give them, it seems to be random when they die and there's not much we can do. Good luck with the parents!

I think the average is 57 on the first generation, moving up on the others. Like txmom my first peep died at 57. Now they live until 65, 68... None reached 70 so far.

As Lyss said, it depends on how you treat them and the kind of food they eat.

Thanks all! I've been babysitting and I pause even if I leave for a minute! lol I hope the event doesn't happen for a while. I figure when it does I'll cry like a baby. I just hope my hubby isn't home when it happens!

You must be treating them very well to still have them around at that age during the first generation! It will be sad, but life goes on as you start over in generation 2 and watch one of the kids become an adult. I find that part exciting and at least makes up for a part of the sadness from losing the parents.

I have been lucky in two of my families to get the trophy for reaching 65 in the first generation. The other 3 made it to 60-64, but not beyond. My oldest first generation was a man who made it to 67 after his wife passed at age 57. Good luck with your little friends.

Woo hoo!!! 60 and 59! I have families in all 5 spots, but this one is my first and favorite! Kin and... Java! lol! I love her name!

It saddens me to announce that Kin passed away at 10:27 pm on Friday, July 17, 2009. He lived to the age of 61.

Aw, I'm sorry for your loss of Kin kissy I expected to have lost the mother in my avvie.. her name is Zest! She's still walking around at the age of 66.. outlived her husband by 6 years so far.
