What is your favorite life stage?

For me, teens have the perfect balance of everything I want in the game. They can learn any skill I choose, at whatever pace I see fit. School is present but undemanding, and there's no threat of a skill requirement popping up out of nowhere to deny them an otherwise-deserved promotion. They don't face any pressure to bring in money, maintain the house, or build relationships yet, let alone get married and/or have children. So really, they can do whatever I want them to, without my worrying that I'm missing a critical opportunity to advance them on their respective paths.

Plus, if and when they do start to date, it's always so cute. The interactions are adorable, and somehow things feel sweet instead of corny or sappy the way they sometimes do with adults.
