Pre Schoolers and Preteens
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....

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.
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.
