Love these ideas...hopefully the gurus are taking notes....Here's one, if a teen is having a mood swing and are feeling depressed they have a hard time getting up for school and are late or they go to school but end up skipping class. The parents get a notification from the school.

I love that! Makes sense to rabbit-hole the situation, because who knows what our teens are doing when they should be in class ;)

Some of what you listed here seems more fitting for children than teens (sleepovers, science fair projects) but that's probably just because I have absolutely no social life. :p If kids get sleepovers I'd like to see teens get them too.

I'm personally not a huge fan of the rating system because I'd hate to try having a popular sim and then with the relationship decay problems for them to suddenly be a total loser and ruin the storyline I was going with. But that's just me.

I don't see us getting cars in TS4, and if we do, not ones that we can drive around, but I like the idea.

I really like the ideas you had when it comes to the teens emotions, mood swings would be interesting and crushes a dream come true!

I also agree that the current Mess Around action is a bit too much, I don't happen to like it for Woohoo either. My sister loves this game and she's 11, but when they upped the Woohoo it got a bit more unsettling.

I feel like teenage sleepovers and child sleepovers are very diff, so both are needed! Teen girls: do nails/makeovers, talk about crushes, dancing. Children will play party games, play dress-up and watch cartoons. Idk what boys do lol, video games? btw-I was definitely doing science fair from ages 12-17 but it depends on schooling I guess

I didn't even think of the culling issue with popularity. Hummm yeah that complicates....
