There’s no defending The Sims Studio on this one, IMO. They shipped teens at the same height as adults because The Sims 4 was a rushed product, as we all know. Quite obviously, they knew they’d have to fix it later, because they ended up patching facial adjustments to teens (which still do not suffice) to set them apart from adults. Furthermore, they promised all life stages upon development and they did not keep that promise. Clearly, they were quite strained to deliver in this area, like many other areas of The Sims 4.
Also, I have to add, at the end of the day, this is a game and it’s okay if it doesn’t match certain aspects of our world to an exact. So, some teens in our world happen to be as tall as some adults. Who cares? For design reasons, we should be able to look at a teen in The Sims and instantly know, “okay, that is a teenager Sim.” It’s the same case with other areas too like the removal of newspapers, landlines, and registers.
When you have life stages in a life simulator that is very focused on generational-play to maintain progress, they need to be very distinct from one another, aesthetically and functionally. Otherwise, what is the point?
This comment.
Why is anyone expecting realism in a game? "Life simulator" means it
simulates day to day life to an extent, not mimics it to the letter.
