    I have finally done with playing with immortal YA sims . So I started a family with a kid. The kid made a lot of good friends through club and then suddenly he has a birthday party and grew into a teen, while all his good friends are still little kids in the party ! It is so creepy !!!

      It's always been creepy imo. Which is why I think a pre-teen stage won't make it so awkward.

      I want 12 year olds!

      I don't think it's creepy at all. It's down to your personal thoughts if you find it creepy, in my opinion.

      Now your teen has his own army of kids to cause mayhem. Hmm, that's actually a pretty cool idea >:)

      I don't find it creepy since the monkey around interaction looks cuter now that of them is bigger xD
      (I was also that guy that had an easier time befriending children than people their age too) :#
      You can always age up their friends too with the cake :)

      the problem I have is the teen looks so much like YA / A ..... i don't feel like he is a teen a all!
    • AyumapAyumap Posts: 3,425 Member
      I've never thought of it as creepy before. He aged up and they didn't. I either age up the friends too, or leave them the same age and make new teen friends. (or ya+ friends when they age up to that). Never really thought of it past that lol.

      I dont think this is creepy or anything. To avoid all this all you need to do is turn aging on and off for unplayable sims so that they wont age faster or slower than your sims.

      I play one rotation with all the houses keep the aging off for townies then for the next rotation on and so on. it balances quite well with my playable sims so I have sims and their friends in the same life stage.
      Everything I post is an opinion here and I think every post of others is as well.

      Then you should introduce her to my sim, James. He really likes kids, and he's very playful.

      And yes, there should be more ages: Preschooler (4 years old), Preteen (10) and Mature (50).

      I would love to know how you set up a daycare in your game?! Sounds like a fun idea!!

      I dont think its creepy. I would though like an option to choose if i want to age any of my child sims friends into teens too. Im sure in either 2 or 3 you could do that?

      For some reason I can't remember atm if you can in Sims 3, but I know you can for sure in sims 2. Even without that though if the OP (or any player) wanted, you can age sims up while not playing them. Just add candles to a cake, click "age up sim" and as long as they're on the current lot you can age them up. Doesn't matter if they're townies or anything.

      I don't necessarily find it creepy but what I really get annoyed with is when your child sim is best friends with another child and you plan that they date when they are both teens. However either your child or the other ages up earlier and the relationship is not so cute anymore.

      You could in TS2, came with Free Time. In TS3 it was all about story progression, you would get notified when a sim friend aged up, in TS4 you do not get any sort of notification I believe, unless if they invite you to their birthday which is awesome though I never was LOL.

      In TS4 it gets really creepy because kids are very far away, age wise, from the teens we have, just like kids have a huge gap between the baby lifestage, it gets both weird and awkward when they age up.

      I made a club, 1 adult 7 children. They meet at my sims residence which is set up like a day care.
      If you like, you can also make it a park, and set multiple daycare clubs to hang out there.

      Some screenies:

      Those kids are all so cute. :)
      I feel like I am missing out, but I still refuse to turn on aging and have my sims have kids until we get toddlers and pre-teens. I just don't like the age stage leaps in this game, and teens look way too old. I aged up a teen in this game and his young adult self looked exactly like his teen self.

      Stick more candles on the cake at the party, before it gets eaten, and age them up. You can age up anyone on the lot.

      Or just do a cas.fulleditmode and pop into Manage Households.

      I don't find it creepy, but it can obviously ruin the game play

      I've never thought of it as creepy, but it would be cool if I could delete a relationship with someone. Like if my teen ages up, he can make new teen friends and delete his child friends because people grow apart.

      Every teen needs minions. >:)

      MINIONS!!!

      And no, lol, I don't find it creepy. I've played since TS1 and am totally desensitized to the instant age transitions. lol I do think pre-teens would be a really nice addition at some point, though!
