So, this is something that I've wanted for a while, especially for my teens. I really think that when you create your sim, you should be able to set their height. I mean, we can do pretty much everything other than that body-wise, and while I understand that it might be hard to pull off, I don't like how everyone is the same height...I think it should be a genetic thing too, since genetics is why I have to use a chair to reach the higher shelves :p

Yes, I would really like that too. I don't like how some of my sims look smaller than others, when they are not. The thing that annoys me the most, is when the guy in a relationship looks smaller than the girl. I'm not hating or saying that this isn't okay in real life, but when I play I kinda like everyone to be perfect. :smiley:

@ibenengberg Yeah I know. I want my teen girls to be shorter than my teen guys and I want to have shorter sims in general. Why do I have to be the shortest girl in class and my sims don't? lol

I think it has to do with the animations, because Sims would interact differently with objects depending on their height (maybe that's the reason why teens are the same height as adults who knows? Haha ) So I think sliders would be really hard to introduce. But maybe we could choose from three preset heights like small medium and tall.

It would be great if they did.

Although I assume it has something to do with how the clothing fits maybe as a reason why they haven't done it yet.

Basically this.

@ToastyChan I agree! It would probably be insanely hard to make a proper animation for every height if there was a slider, but I think we should be able to pick between 3-5 different heights ranging from short to tall

I always though sims 3 and sims 4 had a height option but it never happened.

While you won't get a lot of people for or against this here. But it has ready been suggested on here several times in the past, including once by me. And back then, the devs have done told us that they can't do this right now because they neither have the money or the manpower to add such a thing to the game. But they never told us that it will never added to the game eventually. ;)

I think a height slider with a limit for how tall or how short a sim can be wouldnt break the game and be a welcome feature.
