Most of the people here who answered on this thread are either really tall or really short! ❤️ Normal sized people have no idea what either extreme has to go through. One of my best friends in high school who was really tall had to wear ugly shoes because they were the only ones that fit her properly. 😢 This was before Amazon, so she couldn't just go online and buy a pair that way.
But I'm sure there are quite a bit of average height people who would like different sized Sims, at least for realism and variety. 😉
I'm not so sure it will be a good idea. We already have trouble telling Teens and Adults apart. With this proposal we would also have trouble telling kids and adults apart and unless there were created new clothes small adults would need to wear kids clothes. And if they did make new clothes you could then have kids in adult clothes.
- unseenlarks8 years agoSeasoned Ace@PugLove888, it'd certainly add variety to the game. btw, i'm using the curly hair added with the last patch, and while i really like it, it makes my Sim tower over everybody else. haha! and *she* is supposed to be the "short" one in my story.
@jpkarlsen, i suppose it's just as complicated as you explained. just wishful thinking. 😉 - PugLove8888 years agoHero (Retired)
@jpkarlsen, I see the problem you are talking about. 🤔 It is just that if you combine all the really tall people with all the really short people, that is a whole lot of people who aren't represented. 😞 I have heard of other games having this feature, but since I don't play them, I don't know how they differ from The Sims 4. 🤔 Also, since EA overcame the problems of having different weights of Sims in the game, I would think that this would be a similar problem (but I guess it is not. 😢 ) Even if they can't manage to do this, I at least want EA to attempt to do it, if they haven't already! 🙂
@unseenlarks, I noticed how tall that hairstyle made my Sims! Now if I want to make a taller woman, this will be my go-to hair for her! ❤️
- Anonymous8 years agoIt’s a game, remember it’s so not meant to be real life. Real life is being out of the virtual world and in the real one. Also there’s enough people represented, different colours, sizes etc. Anyway, It’s A Game!

@Louhoff, we know that it is a game. However different people play for different reasons. 🥳 A great many people play this game to simulate life, and in order to do that it has to look and feel a lot like real life, albeit with a few creative touches for humor. Not everyone plays the Sims as a traditional game. This is why sooooo many people wanted laundry in the game. It wasn't needed, and seemed a bit mundane to many, but people wanted to reflect their real lives and homes, and in order to do that, they really wanted laundry! Just because it wasn't my first choice doesn't mean their reasons are not valid , nor does it mean I can't enjoy it as well! 😉

well, said, @PugLove888, thank you!
and @Louhoff, we're not talking about it as if it were real life--it *is* a game. we're just discussing things that would add to/enhance gameplay. =)
i, as an example, play out scenes from a story i started *way* before i began to play Sims 4. and it's based on "real" (well, fictional, but human) people.
so i like my Sims to mirror their appearances as closely as possible. it helps with immersion.
i don't need most of the packs for this, but i do like CAS options to be as varied as they can (possibly) be. height could be one more--just as we have weight and skin tones now. <3
