Well that seems kind of odd with all of the other things that can be modified. If I want to make my wife, who is more than a foot shorter than me, it will look wierd when she's as tall as I am lol
It has to do with animations. If they had different heights (teen are same height as adults too in Sims 4), they would have to make seperate animations for all heights since they haven't found a way to make them scalable.

I'd almost agree, but given there's mods out there made by ppl who may or may not be professionals, vs the professionals of the Sims Crew themselves, I'd think they do have the ability. Perhaps at some point they'll add a patch for it?
I personally wouldn't mind if it was a lil awkward or if there were very few height options, so long as there'd be options of some sort at least.

3d modeling animations is simply applying a movement path in sequence to Any character of Any size in Any shape with Any amount of bones and Any amount of joints. It is actually done with the Click of a Button, applying the Same animations to Different 3d models. Super easy. That tech option and standard click-to-apply has been around since 3DS Max, which is from the 1990s.
This is just EA. No way around it. With all the obvious corner-cutting, visually and verbally in-game, you would think they would have the extra money, time, and quality developers just sitting around waiting to be utilized in the development project. No height adjustment seems really weird, considering this IS a character game, 100%.

And EA has other scalable character games. The have "figured out how to do that". Also, there is zero to figure out, they have that code implementing ability and multiole variations of that function that they themselves wrote and tested and implemented in other games, the implementation exists everywhere, it can be obtained everywhere. You could crowd source 100 different solutions in about 1-2 hours, and 50 of them would have browsed the Sims 4 source code and written perfectly functioning and frankly Better lines than what exists now from EA.
Thats not a defense, thats just not ok. If they cant make games, why do they make games.
Dont make a spaceship game, leave out you know the rocket or propulsion system's animation, then be like hey thats hard to dooooooo i mean we did the rest of the game including the harder parts, come on have a heart GIMME 60 BUCKS.

@OneHalf1249, I think part of the problem (if not the problem) is that there are thousands of clothing and clothing combos that would need to be worked out to get the different heights to work for every single item of clothing that covers the torso of our Sims.🤨 Most games to not have that extensive of a clothing wardrobe as the Sims have.
