How young adults can be a parents for a teens? In real life it is a very rare situation. Young adults are the people between approx. 20-35 years old. Teens 13-20. How young Sims can have such old children than?
I consider young adults at my age at least lol, 18-35. If someone has a kid at 18 when the adult is 35 the kid would be 17 so it is not out of the bounds of possibility.
Yes, it's weird, and Adults can be parents to Young adults, too. It's all about not being on same lifestage.
I think it's fine though. In my game sims turn teen at 15, and YA at 29. I think it's default by the game, not sure why they thought sims at 28 should be teenagers... My young adults are between 29 and 50. So, at max, the teen at 15 can hava a parent at 50. I don't see a problem with that. Anyway, it's a sand box, even if the game allow for many things, it doesn't mean I have to do it. In my game I never create fresh young adults having teens.

When this comes to my mind, I usually think back on Friends to make this thought no so bad. Monica and Ross are YA, and their parents who aren’t elders yet, would be Adults. 😅 This always makes it less weirder for me
I agree. It's super weird for me seeing Bella Goth with a teenage daughter. For me YA age is like 19 to Early 30s. and adult age is 35-65 on Sims. So adults being parents to young adults is no big deal for me. The only way I can see YA Sims being parents to teens if they're a vampire.

A 13 year old with a 31 year old parent for example, is more than feasible. And within the bounds of law as far as child rearing ages.
I mean, it would be weird in real life, but not a game. So long as they are younger, it is fine. I would never want them to restrict it. If it feels odd, don't make them just one life stage apart. Also, especially for occult play, I would like parentage to be available on the same age group. Say what you will, but it makes perfect sense for a family of ageless, immortal vampires to all be YAs regardless of parentage.
My guess is they get by with this because they never stated (to my knowledge) exactly what the age ranges are for each life state. They leave it up to that player’s interpretation.
I'm glad they allow it. I wish adults could be the parents of adults. It wouldn't be that strange for someone 36 years old to have a parent who is 55, for example. And I don't think 55 year olds are considered Elders, but what do I know?
I once tricked the game into allowing my Simself (an adult) to have the human version of my late dog (an elder) as her child. That was interesting!
If a young adult were 30/31/32 years-old and had a 13 year-old kid, that would mean they became a parent at the age of 17/18/19. That’s totally possible (though uncommon) and I’d hate it if the game didn’t allow it.
My cousin was a grandmother at age 32. She was 14 (1969) when she had a daughter. They got married at age 16 and had 3 more daughters. They are still together. In 1987 the oldest daughter had a baby when she was 18. It happens!
I was 20 when I had my first son, and 23 (almost 24) when I had my second son. I'm 36 now. My oldest son will be 16 in a few weeks. Also, I'm a great-aunt to a toddler. I was an aunt at 12 because I was the youngest of 5 kids. My sister who was the closest to my age, is 4 years older than. My oldest brother is almost 11 years older than me. I also have an aunt who was literally an aunt before she was born. She's younger than 2 or 3 of my cousins.
As far as the game is concerned, sims age faster through the earlier stages. On normal lifespan, the child and teen stages are only 14 days. Whereas the young adult and adult stages are around 24 days each, although I'm not 100% sure on the exact amount.

Some places do consider 55 to be "elders" -- I'm in a retirement community that's for people 55 years and older.
These days, you have people as young as 16 and 17 having children in Real Life, so a 35yo could potentially have an 18yo son/daughter.
I figure that YA covers from 18 to about 40, Adult is 40-65, Elder 65 until Grimmy comes a-callin'.

I'm glad they allow it. And ages of young adults can be interpreted by the individual. Even teen of mine has a young adult parent. And the parent has an adult parent.
Could be weird but I love the freedom of choice.

Do you live in 1965? 😉😁

Let’s say I live in a rather passionate community. 😏
