Briana2526What would you want Preteen lifestage to look like? How would it differ from the current Children and Teens? I find the change between Young Adults and Adults to be uninteresting as a player. There's not enough of a difference for me. But I love trying to accomplish Child-specific Aspirations and planning for retirement as an Elder. I love the storytelling. What stories would you want to tell with Preteens?
Preteens are in between child and teen but it's changing since puberty hits and emotions and mood swings are all over the place. So you see teens have mood swings in the game now but imagine a preteen stomping up the stairs, slamming doors all over the house, talking back to parents. They are at this age discovering style in CAS the player may choose a outfit and moodlet will show if they like or not and they will let you know. Also they discover who they are attracted to but under parents supervision. Also new emotions instead of flirting it can be blushing, and the Pink Romance Meter can say crush. So you can plan a "date" but it's with adult supervision with one or both parents from either family or an older brother or sister. They will be able to collect and play voidcritters, play marbles, hang out at the playground, play basketball, get in the hot tub.
Storytelling wise how I tell a story kids aged up to a preteen starting middle school let's go shopping (aka CAS) pick an outfit either you get this moodlet "look at me I look awesome etc. or what the heck is this I'm not wearing this I would be a laugh at What, No! And etc. Light Make up. Go to school hang out with your old friends or meet new ones because sometimes old friends drift apart liking different things. Introduce to a sim your sim interested in blushing happens, butterflies and your sim is clumsy but my sim don't have clumsy trait yeah its temporary it's only comes around your crush now they think your sim crazy and that's embarrassing. Also in class your sim finds out another sim likes your crush jealousy they are on your sim list and your sim don't like them. (It could've been a rumor but your sim don't know that.) All they know is that today is the worst day ever!!! I was clumsy around my crush, I embarrassed myself and another sim likes them, I can't stand that sim. Go home slams door mom and dad Hey Sim your sim leave me alone stomps up the stairs to the room or run upstairs to the room and slam the door. Very over dramatic most Preteens are over dramatic.
