Make Teenagers Great Again!

I'd like to see a clothing filter similar to what we have for the gender patch -- certain outfits can be designated for teens only so you don't see random Elders wandering around looking like rejected extras from High School Musical, but if a player wanted to remove the filter for some of their older Sims the option would be there.

The idea for a popularity system sounds interesting. I'd love to have a set of twins where one is super popular but the other is more of a social outcast type.

Another addition could be more Mischief interactions that teens can do to younger siblings -- my brother (6 years older) used to pick on me all the time...not really mean, but more the Mischief type of things. Maybe even a few mean things -- "Tell Sibling He/She Was Adopted" -- that would make the younger sibling cry, and the parents would have to comfort the younger sibling and tell off/punish the older one. Adding punishments for bad behavior, like no computer or TV (program game to block use for a period of time, like you can't use the computer when it's broken), or can't leave the house. Then like in Sims 3 there could be ways to get let off the hook -- help younger sibling with homework or play games with him/her, clean house (I used to have my teens do the family laundry), etc. and the parent would relent. Or you could have a really strict parent lay down the law, while the other parent would be more easy-going and let the teen off the hook right away, which would cause tension between the two parents.
