    Can EA change the teen height before release? (not bashing)

    in The Sims 4 General Discussion
    I'm a bit more upset about the teen height now than the toddler situation, (although I'm still upset about that too).

    After I saw this photo, I was thinking how this Sim would make a prefect preteen and if teens were shorter than we could possibly make a preteen like Sim.

    Did they ever give a reason why teens are the same height as adults? I think I read on someones post that it's not hard to make the teens shorter. Is that true? And if so you think EA could change the height of the teen to how they were in previous game?

    It's such a big gap. It feels like a stage is missing. And I can't get over this. :cry:

      I'm not an expert (maybe someone else with more experience can answer), but I don't think it would be possible due to the time constraints as they'd have to make new animations and clothing for the smaller teens.

      Teens are 16-19 so they might have the same height as their parents :) One of Gurus announced that they are going to add new stage - pre-teens (13-16) and they will be smaller than adults!

      All I remember hearing is that SimGuruSimedi (Graham Nardone) said that it would be possible to some day add toddlers and pre-teens. But nothing was definite.

      No, not this time for TS4, but maybe for TS5?

      If this was true then this would definitely fix the teen issue for me.

      I really wish they could though. :oops: :cry: I forgot where I read it but someone said it's not that hard to make teens shorter. I wish could find that person who said that.

      I read that too. He/she said that the way animations are created is by mapping points on a mesh. They said the interactions would be scalable if say a teenager were 90% the height of an adult Sim. I don't recall who said it, though.

      Yes I think that's what I read! Thank you!

      But if this is the case, then why did they make the teens the same height? Hmm, maybe they will add preteen?

      Dunno. I've yet to be able to figure out EA and how they do things.

      Link, proof? Highly unlikely.

      If a Guru really announced this then they are even dumber than I thought, because 13-16 is still in the teenage years. Pre-teens are 11 or 12 (some might include younger too).

      Agh! It's misinformation and rumors like this that are making people foolishly preorder a game despite they haven't even really seen a video of gameplay (and others paying $20 for day one DLC in the limited edition)

      In fact she said nearly the opposite, that it was technically possible, but a very low priority. I don't think anything was said about height.

      Please stop spreading misinformation. Thanks.
