Not sure if the Sims team actually look here but..

I think people generally reach full height before they're of-age, though.

I can notice which one is teen and which one is YA only by looking at facial feature, but not for female though, they all look the same.

Really? What should I look for its so difficult..

From my experience you can't tell. It depends on the individual sim just like real life. Some adults look younger and some teens look older. I have teens I aged up to young adult or adult and they still looked exactly the same. There was nothing to show they were older. And vise versa. :#

Why would you want it unrealistic?
I know plenty of teens who are taller than their parents and grand parents.

I always get confused when I see teens and YA they are literally exactly the same and can do almost anything YA sims can do..

Sounds like real life.
Go clubbing, run into teens with fake id, many of whom weren't even carded on entry, meanwhile, all the 30+ year olds get carded...

Okay but why are you excusing their laziness?

At this late stage of this version, they are not going to overhaul the teen life stage. That would not only be next to impossible but very costly and a waste of time and talent. Literally, everything about teens would need to be remade anew as 95% of teen programing is just adult programing. To create an all new teen life stage would require all new clothes (they share the adult sizes for clothes, so...), new reaching for things interactions as arm length and hand levels would have moved, sitting levels will change and need to be remade, every single aspect of teens would need to be erased from the game and replaced with the new programing. And the worst part would be that every teen in every save that every player has ever created or "birthed" will no longer exist because that programing will have been erased. Thanks, but no thanks. Save it for S5.

At this stage I'm hoping they keep supporting TS4 for atleast 3-5 more years. More than enough time for them to overhaul this system.

Are you suggesting that they should make teens in the Sims taller than adults?

I know you aren't, I was being silly -- but this is a game, not real life. Having teens shorter than the adults would help many players easily tell ages apart. For what it's worth, I was taller than my daughter when she was a teen. As adults, I still am. This request I imagine is not to portray how humans are in real life, it's more about how to make identification easier in game.

Thank you for putting it that way!

Even by hoping to support Sims 4 for at least 3-5 more years, changing the heights would effect too much of what is already in the game. CAS assets would need to be altered as well as animations. It's too much, too expensive. The best option, I feel, would be to wait until the next iteration is released. It's something I hope for as well.

Edit: What Dannydanbo said, lol.
