Exactly, couldn't agree more! - Pre-teen stages are nothing else than a childish thing to demand, wouldn't be surprised if that mostly was "pre-teens" themselves who wish that. Who want's your sims to be stuck in that kind of stage, when the normal thing in Sims is to became a teenager, youth, then an adult and at last an elder? And even after that, there are many other alternatives.
You can have your opinions about Preteens and I would assure you that most simmers that are asking for Preteens such as myself are not a Preteen.
Now have I seen Preteens asking for their Lifestage to be represented in the game? Yes they want to represented in the game just like anyone else which made me add more fuel for wanting Preteens in the Sims PC Franchise. It's the reason why they were put in with InZoi and Paralives when it comes out.
I mean it's the Sims it's anything but normal as you said yourself you can do other things after elder but Preteens is where y'all draw the line of doing any else?
Of course it depends on who you are and how you wish to play, but I don't think you know more about that than I do. I've also seen sporadic posts about pre-teens, but I wouldn't say it's dominant in any way. The Sims is so complicated as it is now, we have more options than ever and there's lots of things to do without an unnecessary stage of life like pre-teens. 😉
I didn't say I know more then you do? Like...what? You said and I quote "the one wanting Preteens are childish and most likely a preteen." I said I'm not a preteen and want Preteens in the game.
Matter of fact I've been wanting Preteens in the Sims Franchise since Sims 2 so the height of Sims 4 teens I don't have a problem with some simmers.
I've been wanting preteens for about a decade and I'm middle aged. Speaking of I'd also like a middle aged life state because that's just as jaring going from 40 to 80 as it is going from 8 to 18.
