Suggestion: Sims 4 Add Preteens
Hello! Let me start by saying have have been a loyal Sims fan now for a long time. I was very glad that in the Sims 4 they added young adult to the age range, and then latter the addition of the todd...

Am I the only one who wants to add these life stages? I hate that it's only infant, toddler, kid, teen. 5 year old kids are vastly different from 9 year olds. Same with 12 year olds and 16 year olds. I also wants the family portraits to come back. That was my favorite part of the sims 3. Does anyone else agree? Let's let EA hear us!!!
This might be an unpopular opinion but I personally don't think preteens are needed in the game. Perhaps update the teens and children that we already have and give them a bit more depth. I'm not sure what new they could add with preteens, that we dont have in the game already. I understood why infants were added as babies were stuck in the cradle and barely any gameplay. However children in the sims 4 play with toys, go to pre-school, play with park equipment and if you have Parenthood you can set curfews, character values. With teens you also have this with Parenthood for them, there's puberty in the game now for teens and mood swings etc and they go to high school, if they do well they can leave early and start university if you have that pack.
Personally how I feel.
Seems like a waste of a life stage. Not to mention more work to put into them and having to add clothing for them as well. Feel like it could easily be a easily forgotten life stage with half hearted work into it. LOT of work to be putting into a lifestage that players probably won't even play for that long because young sims are always limited to things they can do. (Already not enough hobbies for sims, especially younger sims).
Took forever for teens to be feeling more like teens until Parent Hood and High School Years came out. At base game they're pretty uninteresting. Same with children.
Definitely need more resources funneled into things still needed for the base game than another life stage.
I hear you on that one. As for pre-teens, I agree. That's a life stage of about in RL 2-3 years, tops. Sixth, seventh and eighth grade. I think the real problem is that these teens are way too tall, whereas in Sims 3 they were way too short. Can we please have a happy-medium? It was so odd to watch the shorties driving a car in Sims 3, and likewise I've only witnessed one boy in my life who was probably about five-foot-six inches at the tail end of eighth grade and when I ran into him on the high school campus, about three months later, he had shot up to about six foot!
I definitely think the teens should be made little shorter than adults, I really hope that they don't add any more life stages and just make what we already have better. Add more to child, teens and elders. Would be perfect in my personal opinion
I don't really understand what that life stage is supposed to do, what unique features that they would do that would be unique from children or teens.
I could see how it would make aging up less awkward because kids ages up to teens and loses all their friends who are still children but that's about it.
