And also, most people reach adult height during their teens. Short teens aren't all that common.
that is what teens generally are irl, people who attend highschool are a lot like people who attend uni, so it makes sense for teens to be like young adults.
The jump from adult to elder is too big too. If they add in another child age, then they had better add in another older adult age.
They go to school, and do homework.
Pity about the woohoo, since a lot of teens do that irl, but I guess it wouldn't fit with the rating in all places if they did include it.
This is not a game-real world relation here, Teens were diferent in previous games and people want similar gameplay here, sure it would be a different label, but that is the whole point so it doesnt need to re-do the already existing teen stage.
inorite?
A lot of people are wanting realistic play... I just want vampires.
I dont care if real teenagers are apperently like adults for some irl. I know I was not and all my classmates were not either, I want normal teens as I know them from my teenage years and as I know them from ts2 and ts3 in this game. And to be honest, in the end I dont care how its in real life! I am not a realism kind of player anyway.
The generations EP gave them a lot in ts3, so I hope for the same in ts4. A stage between child and teen would be fine to me too.
I dont see the Adult and Elder stage as a big step.
Its just what I wish for, if you like the current ones, thats good!
I am also excited for vampires!
edit: I want to add that the heigh isnt that much of a problem for me, but the way they act. They are "too mature" right now. Need to be a bit more immature than the YA imo. Why not let them play voidcritters still or things like that. I think that would be fun.
I am just explaining the request for "Pre-teens" is not exactly tied to how age and size work on a real person, its just a specific type of gameplay people want based on previous iterations of thesims. Its not exactly "realism", its just gameplay,really.
But but, I love how the teenagers are now. to me they are perfect, so please don't listen, EA.
But, but they are literally cookie-cutter adults right now. They certainly don't look like teens, act like teens or have teen life events. The only thing that can't do that adults can is woohoo and theres even a non-woohoo interaction for that (cuddle or whatever its called).
Its literally like Maxis said ok, lets just make a copy of adult sims as a "stand in" until we have time to actually work on them...then realized they had no budget or real time frame to do so before release...I mean look at the toddle issue. It took them TWO years of scrapping together resources on the side to make them lol.
Assuming they don't improve teenagers (although I hope we at least get prom, ect) in the sims 4 in a more drastic way as I'm requesting, I do expect we will see "true teenagers" in the Sims 5 - to "make up" for the lack of teenagers in the Sims 4 lol.
As for pre-teens, I kinda doubt they would add ANOTHER life stage at this point.
Why doubt it? We doubted toddlers but they came.
Not because they can't (as proven by toddlers) but rather because it might seem like an excessive life stage and making the current teen life stage redundant since its basically young adult - rather it would make more sense to rebuild the teenager life stage or replace it I suppose.
More then anything the community never asked for a pre-teen life stage like they did toddlers, so I see Maxis having little reason to build another life stage for free if theres no demand. Updating a CURRENT life stage even drastically changing it though, well that kind of patching is done all the time.
Why?
Yes. Yes, especially if theyr'e tense a lot (stress related acne)
Not too keen on these two.
Yes.
The only teen specific clothing there needs to be is a school blazer, other than school uniforms, most teens dress much the same as uni students.
But stuff like acne, optional curfews, school dances and teen drama, would all fit with the game.
A lot of the stuff to make teens unique could probably be added in just a tiny patch
Actually A lot of people want Preteens I mean it's all because of the survey I wouldn't of known nothing about Preteens until the survey brought it to my attention and since the teens are more mature in this game than the previous I don't see why Preteens will not make it and that's the thing Preteens are something new for the game in my opinion and it will be exciting for the game.
The height needs to be adjusted so we can tell them apart from other sims.
They need their own clothing because let's face it, many of us wouldn't dare wear the trends that were in when we were teens. Sims 2/3 had their own clothes and it's not fair that the teens don't get separate clothing. It's lazy for them to just share clothes with adults.
The guy's having awkward voice changing and girls receiving their cycle would be more realistic, not to mention would make people feel like their sims are starting to grow up. The voice changing could happen at random times making male sims embarressed..something that would take place for a few days. For girls players would get one notification at any random time..at home, out with friends, or a school dance that their cycle started and could get the embarressed Moodlet..or excited depending on the sim..not something you have to constantly attend to but for many women that's something you don't forget. I think it's a subtle way to let players know their sims are starting to mature into young adults.
The voice changing would be funny but the cycle honestly I don't think that's a good approach for the game that's a little too personal and a touchy topic.
I don't see why when there is breastfeeding along with an interaction. The cycle I'm referring to would just simply be one notification you receive at any random time as a teen to let you know their growing up. Nothing touchy about it's a natural part of life.
Yes it is natural you are right but by me saying touchy because of the rating of the game.
Well it isn't an E for everyone game. It's actually for teens and older. So if anything I would say it's right up their alley. I'm simply suggesting a one time notification not an interaction. There's content in the game far more grown up than that.
Well we can agree to disagree than? I stated my reasons, you've stated yours, we'll just see.
Yeah let's do that.
That's exactly my point. Lol It isn't Mrated and neither is the notification I'm suggesting.
