How would you improve Teens?

I really hope they don't shorten the teens and just give them more teen activities I feel like they are trying to dumb down the teens especially in season and having teens be a scout with badges is nothing wrong with that I just don't want the teens having the same badges as a kid because why be a scout as teen when it's the same badges I don't get it hopefully that's not the case. I feel like the teens are so boring is because we dont have the activities the teens need to improve. We don't have cars so they can't drive we don't have a teen hangout unless we make a club but other sims like adult ya and elders come and crash the hang out. I think we need prom, homecoming, football, have the option to take a date to the movies. If we get an education gamepack that will probably/if not fix teens because they will have something to do.

Tbh, l'm fine with the teens now. I can understand why some people would want them shorter, but that isn't always the case. I'm 5'2, 23 years old and l have a 16 year old cousin who is already 6'1. So some teens can be taller than adults in real life :D

Content would definitely be a higher priority for me. I use the prom mod, which is really cool. I'm not sure I'd pay for an EA version at this point. But there's other things they could do--teen aspirations maybe, teen fashion, hobbies and extracuriculars. I've heard there used to be "fame" and "reputation" in the sims, and if they brought that back there could be a LOT you could do with teens. The option to follow kids and teens to school would also be cool. Although, it kinda bugs we already that two sims with the same job in the same household can't be followed together, so that would probably annoy me for teens too lol. Like, I'd love to follow my teens to school, but if I have twins and can only follow ONE and their sibling suddenly just isn't there but apparently off at a different school somewhere? That would bug me.

I do not play TS4 but from what I have seen having them as the same height of adults is awful!

Most have reached their adult height by the age of 15 so I hope they don’t make them shorter considering that teens are technically 13-19 years old.

Teens aren’t shorter than adults usually, but pre-teens are. Also I agree it could be cool to give teens unique voices (teen male should have lower and more monotone voice than adult male). Also can some1 tell me why teens need own clothes? Most teens shop at same stores where young adults do.

Maybe more traits or aspirations exclusively for teens.

Neither their fine now

With Parenthood, I think it added enough stuff to teens to make me happy with them.

The teen clothes wouldn't be exclusive to teens only, there would be a teen filter for clothes in CAS that would have a teen tag. So when npcs teens are generated by the game or grow up form child to teen they will use the teen tagged clothes. The game does need more clothes for teens and elders though. Yes I agree college aged young adults dress like teens but tend to dress a little bit more conservative.

This is something that I've actually been thinking about creating in my own game but what about boarding school? Make it like Uni except with teens and more rules. They would have to stay in same-sex dorms and wear uniforms and have to maintain a certain grade level. I think that would be kind of cool.

Also, I really don't like that I cant tell the teens from the adults sometimes. They look and behave too much like the adults imo.

I miss the "sneak out" option.

I would like after school activities, like maybe they could join the drama club or a sports team. And not just notifications or texts but with actual gameplay involved.

I think there should be cliques like jocks, nerds, etc since that's what most teens go through in real life. Now that I think about it you could probably create something like that with the club system...
