How would you improve Teens?
Just curious how or if you guys would change the teen life stage.

I voted add more content exclusive to them... although I'm good with them spreading this added content out. I'm in no hurry for it.
I know I definitely don't want them to shorten them, mostly because it would take way too much time and effort to redo all the animations as they are now. I don't want them to spend time, money or put effort into that. I also don't want them creepy small as teenagers. It would be weird to see a short teen going to prom in my opinion or on a date. If they were very slightly shorter than their young adult counterparts sure. The only way I'd want shorter is if they added in pre-teens and I really could care less if they did that. I don't see myself playing with a pre-teen all that often but I've surprised myself in the past. I know I wouldn't have a problem with them being added in.
I do want some events added though.. prom especially. Other items that make them stand out as teenagers.. mostly CAS items though. I can see cliques or peer pressure ect added but I also want a way out as not every teen is affected by that. What I mean by that is say you have a sim that has the gregarious trait.. they might be more affected. I'd actually rather a new trait was added in if you wanted them to be deeply affected by groups and cliques. If you had a sim with the loner trait they really might not care what others thought... and wouldn't be as affected by peer pressure growing up.
I guess what it boils down too for me is I still want to be able to play my homeless, challenged, surviving alone teens that don't act like most people believe teens do. Sometimes for certain people that stuff really isn't important... or they don't have time for it to be important to them. I want that choice.
