Just curious how or if you guys would change the teen life stage.

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

Other: I'm okay with their height as it allows sharing clothing between the lifestages. But I'd change their faces to look younger so that there's a stronger difference between teens and adults.

I think teens are fine the way they are, but I want an added preteen lifestage

I would add more content/activities for teens. They seem more like mini-adults than teens to me.

My unpopular op is that I don't care about the height of teens. It just isn't a focus for me. I have them age developmentally as they go along in my game but I can choose to have them dress how they want.I would be willing to see more content for teens such as an education pack. I think that adding in more for teens as well as the classic university would be something new. Parenthood was a helpful GP and we have teen hang outs as a lot trait but we could see more content for teens and more features for the teen experience. We could add more places for them other than bowling alleys and more activities. A bunch of the kids in my rotation have now aged into teens, so a lot of my "next generation" is teen right now. It's true that there could be more for their style and experience. There could be more to set them apart while they are teens.Watching the Olympics has made me realize that snowboarding is an obvious example of an activity for them. I think that adding to the school experience would be a big thing too. Proms or dances are obvious. Some of the content that is added that appeals to all generations could appeal to them as well, such as beaches. I think a beach pack should allow for different types of beach experiences: a family friendly beach, a romantic and secluded beach and a loud party beach. The party beach would obviously be for teens and young YAs.

I quite enjoy the gameplay that teens have, especially with the parenthood game pack. The only thing I would change is that they basically look exactly the same as young adults, maybe change their faces a bit when they age up?

One thing I think should be added teens in TS4 can be head of household so why can't they learn parenting get a head on the skill plus they can get pregnant and can't discipline there kids or help with homework why why why

I wish you could have the option to go to school with the teen like you can with the Get to Work careers. Then they could meet more teens and affect relationships with them. Maybe they could have consequences for bad behavior, and they could do extra-curricular activities, too.

You can if you use mods.
Yeah would love a proper pack for it instead.

I'd like more teens-only content and interactions. Including clothes that can only be worn by teens. Changing the life stage's height would take a lot of work at this point, and I'd rather see that energy focused on new content. But I think shorter teens should make a comeback in Sims 5.

Well I'm not bothered by the height. The only thing that bothers me is that teens just don't have enough teen-stuff to do. The Parenthood GP did very well to add content but I really need more. Like @SimsAddict_244 said - Proms (and more) would be really nice! I wouldn't even care if it was a rabbithole like TS3. As long as it would be included.

Both height and content. A Teen's room pack would be great :) Also I feel like it's a bit frustrating that they only have two traits.

The height is perfectly fine from an objective standpoint). The lack of exclusive content for them is not fine though. I feel like they're the most glossed over life stage in this iteration when it comes to content. Then elders.
