Does anyone know why the romance option would disappear? I have a teen sim whose aspiration is Serial Romantic. She has already gone on two dates and done 7 successful kisses, all with the same Teen Sim. Neither of these two have aged up but now my Serial Romantic has no romance options with anyone not even the BF. Also, when she tries to make date plans on the phone she just picked up and hangs up with no travel options. Thoughts? Is she doomed now? I am doing a legacy challenge so switching aspirations is not allowed.

I'd say try shutting down the game then restarting -- I had a similar issue where I couldn't queue up interactions for my Sim at the gym, but after shutting down the game and restarting it worked. I just think of it as Sims 4's higher intelligence: "isn't it time you take a break, dear?" :p

because there is no notable story progression. If you want teens, you need to put them there. Try creating a couple of families with teens and placing them in your neighbourhood. Ever hear the saying 'have a dog and bark yourself' well now you know what it means. Yes you really did pay that much for a dog game that wont bark

I found the lack of other kids to be frustrating in my previous game. I was creating kids just so they would have friends. I just started a new save file with single sim to do some fun stuff and achievements, a non family game, and all the sudden kids are everywhere. When I don't need them for anything. How odd.

If you're playing Pinstar's Legacy Challenge, you can go into the gallery under #legacyloves and download people for your game. There were a number of households with 1 parent and 7 children, and some collections of 8 teens as well. This is approved by Pinstar because of the population problems in the game. Downloading these Sims works because you have no way to know their traits in advance.

have you tried sending the teen to another venue then return home? or shut the game down and then restart

also how do you know for sure that the other teen has not aged up, are they living in the same household?

Thanks for the feedback. I tried going to the menu and back but not completely restarting. I know he was still a Teen because he only had two traits, now he has 3 so my window there is lost. I don't understand why everyone she meets is an adult, are there no other teens in the game? lol

Maybe at some point EA will add a better story progression to this game.

I certainly don't understand why it has to be so difficult to tell how old the other sims are. The first person my Legacy Sim married was 1 day away from being an elder and it was extremely frustrating.

Now that I am moving into my next generations the lack of teens and children is annoying.

I did make two teens so that I could test. I think he was close to aging or had aged but my Sim didn't know yet because it still showed the two traits. I moved in a different Sim and in her relationship pane she thought my adult Sim was still a Teen and only had two traits. So even the two trait method doesn't completely work for determining age.
