I don't support the lifespanmods for TS4 anymore.
But with this tutorial you can update it yourself:
Just be sure you use an update lifespan mod as a base:
http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=552222
or
http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=590549
The reason why I don't support them anymore, is because nearly every time there's a new patch, update, game pack or EP there's a huge chance this needs to be updated (so have fun with that).
I hardly play the game myself anymore and if I play it's totally without CC 'cause nearly every time there's a new patch, update, game pack or EP there's a huge chance +50% of my CC needs to be updated.
The principle of this tutorial still is the same after the toddler patch and after the Cats & Dogs EP. You just need to change the age for toddlers and pets as well.

Things needed before you start:
- S4PE: download here: http://bit.ly/downloads4pe
- IMPORTANT: unzip with 7zip not Winrar
- An already working custom lifespan package.
- Download here if your game has a lower version than 1.5.139.1020: http://bit.ly/AgeTutorial
- Download here if your game has version 1.5.139.1020 or higher: http://bit.ly/AgeTutorialUpdate
- Download here if your game is updated to the Toddler patch or higher: http://bit.ly/AgeTutorialUpdateToddlers
Make sure you use an updated custom lifespan package as base.
Creating the lifespan
- Open S4PE.
- Open the lifespan package.
- The screen is divided into two windows.
- In the left window you will see one line.
- Select that line and you will see text in the right window
- Then go to Settings and then External programs
- Be sure none of the squares are selected.
- Press "ok"
- Press with the right-mouse button on the line in the left window.
- Select Notepad at the buttom of the menu
- The notepadfile will open.
- Press ctrl + F and type "threshold"
- The notepad will search for all the lines with that word.
- On the right of that word you see a number.
- That's the span of the age you see a few lines higher
- The value is always the "Normal" length
- Change the values in the ones you want for the Normal length for all the ages.
- At the top of the notepadfile you will see the multipliers for the other lengths.
- In this example the span of the adult age for the length "Fast" will be 408*2=816
- The span of the adult age for the length "Slow" will be 408*0.5=204
- Save the notepadfile and close it.
- Say Yes when S4PE askes Commit changes?
- Now go to File and press Save as
- Give the package a unique name and save it in the mods folder of your game
- Be sure you only have one lifespan mod in that folder at the time.
