I don't expects that we will get any more life stages.

With the addition of infants and Project Rene 'years' away I'm hopeful for a preteen life stage. It's not something I personally want but I know a lot of simmers do.

IMO, I think they need to just make the current teens look more teen instead of YA-ish. Not add another whole age for adjustment. (just change the look of current teens)
I'd prefer to see something done for elders. They've got nothing and not all elders crook over with back pain every 5 minutes.

Giving the teens more cas assets to look more teen like does nothing to fill in the gap players like me are wanting to fill. Say I'm playing 2 child Sims they are both best friends one day one of them ages up and instantly is the size of an adult who goes to high school can woohoo and work a part time job while the other Sim looks like a 7 year old still playing on the jungle gym how does making the teen look more teen like change this massive change from child to adult size teen any better? Also where is my game play and storytelling possibilities I'd expect to see going from a child to a teenager where's the in-between it does not happen in an instant.

What I said was that the current teen needs to be made to look more like a teen and not like a YA.
They dropped the ball on the teens when they created them to be "skinny" YA's. They should have looked way different from the start.

Not just the clothes they wear, or what they have available...their LOOK should have been far different than it is.

I do agree with others who say they would rather wait longer for infants than have them rushed and be disappointed with the end result. Honestly though, from October to March? They better be perfect. ?

They are a new life stage and babies will be set free as well.

Do you have a link for that? It will be awesome if they do. TIA
Ahhh I found where they said that but not sure if they mean the "newborns" as well.

I think they are including the newborns as well. If you skip to the 3:37 mark in the trailer Graham mentions socializing and playing between children, toddlers, infants, and newborns.

Where did someone say the babies would be set free as well?

Children can interact with newborns, so I don't think we should jump to conclusions. I'd be ecstatic if newborns were free too, but we have no confirmation of that.

@IceyJ This is the only place I found it but I am pretty sure they are still just talking about the new infants.

The Sims 4 is celebrating its 23rd birthday by revealing a new bundle of joy coming soon to the base game, Infants! Yes, yes, we’re finally freeing the baby.

They didn’t, but that along with several stories when the news broke made the statement that babies would no longer be considered objects by the game makes me feel like we’re going to get one of our biggest wishes granted. Graham’s comment makes me hopeful that newborns will no longer be tied to their bassinets. There was also a reference made to being able to pick them up and pass them to another sim. That is another comment that gives me hope that babies have finally been freed.

@DaniRose2143 I really hope that happens <3
