Why we need TWEENS / PRETEENS!?

Comments
There were already suggestions. READ.
But her "suggestions" did not add any significant gameplay features that would be new. In fact many suggestions were already gameplay features that existed in the game. I asked what actual NEW gameplay features would she suggest.
Again for the ten millionth time ready "IT IS NOT ABOUT THE HEIGHT!!! we actually want Pre-teen because we @BuzzBuzz recognizes Pre-teen as a missing age just the developers in the game recognized a baby don't just jump out and become to a child so they added toddlers I'm speaking of this way before Sims 4 the developers also recognized that an adult dont just die so they added elders into the game. Also they added YA later into Sims 3 and Sims 4 now I'm asking them to recognize a Pre-teen age because it's weird looking at a child to just up and turn into a teen so a Pre-teen age or better yet middle school age to be exact will fill that Gap it has nothing to do with height.
Yes, toddlers were meant to be in the game but they weren't added until THREE years later. Children being preteens, let's agree to disagree. I already explained that they weren't meant to be preteens. Concept art proves it. If you listen to what people have to say instead jumping to conclusions, then you would understand. I'd rather have twelve or thirteen year old sims because shorter teens are never coming. How will you know we'll never get the preteens life stage? Do you work at Maxis to confirm it? My question is, they added toddlers. What's the excuse to not add preteens or other life stages?
The whole point of the Sims 4 is adding something new and improving already existing content. They said they would bring new (free) content. Before the release of the game, in a Q&A on the The Sims 4 Blogger:
It doesn't say a lot but it does give me hope that new life stages could be added someday (2017-2018).
First of all didn't I say the whole community,no. I said people agree not the whole community but their are those that agree. (That's out of contexts)
Secondly, What is the contradiction? I explained how I wanted them and how we the community needed them and the reason why I think that.
Contradiction is when statements and Ideas opposed to each other my ideas and statement wasn't opposed to each other as they were on the same idea but taken at different point of view.
Thirdly now you got a problem with memes?
and your still just nitpicking.
Listen I appreciate your opinion but honestly it nothing to get so serious about.
And if you don't want to do a meme that's cool too Idc
and I just like memes
so
So now your trying to think for me don't assume what I want. See you don't read what people just explained to you again I don't want shorter teens I wanted Preteens since Sims 2 and teens weren't as tall as they were today right? I could care less about the teens being tall I had no problem with them I'm not talking about how they added toddlers now in Sims 4 this how I know you don't pay attention to what you are reading. Toddlers were added in game in Sims 2 why? Because people thought it was weird for a baby to pop up and become a kid. Elders were added because again people thought it was weird for an adult to just die when the time came. I for one want to recognize Preteens as a lifestages because the gap between a child and teen needs to be filled.
Also yeah we haven't had Preteens in game before that's the entire point of the thread also never say never.
They are not going to go to the time, money and effort of making 12 year old sims. And unless you play with aging off, they won't stay 12 long enough to enjoy all the "cool" new features you seem to think they will bring.
I play with aging off, and keep my sims the same age. I need 12 year olds to be able to accurately create some families.
Am I too lost?
What actual NEW gameplay ideas do you have if you need preteens? What has been described in this thread are features already available in the current available life stages, both kid and teen. I guess since I play with aging on, I have the ability to imagine a preteen by dressing a kid differently a bout half way through their age. I know soome people are unable to imagine like that.
They go middle school? I don't know what you want here.
I love memes~
Not everywhere has children ages 9 to 12 in a separate school. I know many places that have grades 1 through 8 in the same school.
I disagree. If they can put all their time, money, and effort into pets and toddlers they can put all their time, money, and efforts into preteens. Silly excuse.
I been to a school with elementary and middle school grades.
The youngest child would be a toddler, but the 5 others would be a child. And the problem is that in the game they would all be the same height, and look the same. This is why I need preteens. Or I would be happy if I had a mod to change the heights of children since it really is about the height for me. And I'm sorry if I'm annoying.
Am I too lost?
Again how do you know, do you work for EA? Do you actually know what's going on the office? Once I get a confirmation from the office about Preteens not coming than I will believe but if they don't say anything I can speculate and come up with ideas all I want.
Exactly. Users like this think they know everything. They ain't no developers, so they don't know anything.
So it is about height and not gameplay for you. That just tells me your imagination sucks badly, so sorry for you. The only way they will add a new life stage is if some new gameplay features could be added.
