Pre-teens if shorter than teens, young adults, and elders, but taller than children are in the game they will require a totally separate clothing category. Just look at how little we get for kids and toddlers now. It will be the same with preteens. A pack will release with all kinds of clothes for T-E and everyone will be like “why nothing for kids, toddlers, or preteens”? Twitter will fill with #justiceforpreteens YouTubers will make 30-40 minute rant videos about how preteens are totally neglected ?. No, just no. I would much prefer the devs spend their time and budgets on actual gameplay features that are enjoyable. Not developing an animation rig for a made up life state.
A preteen is a kid, plain and simple. They’re just kids. Birth-12 is preteen. It’s not a magical life state it’s a phony baloney term made up by marketers to target a demographic for advertising. Seriously, the term didn’t even exist when I was a kid. It literally appeared a few years after my son was born in the mid 90s. It is 100% unicorn ? dust.

just make the teens shorter. i dont want another lifestage there.
This will cause the same problem. They will require an entirely new wardrobe category that will be devoid of choices and ignored in subsequent packs and by CC creators.
