Now that we have infants does anyone else feel like there's a even bigger gap between children and teens? Newborn: pretty much sleeps all dayInfant: more interactions (not sure what they are yet)Toddler: can do most stuff on their own after a while, but still need a lot help from older simsChild: school, dolls, toys, make crafts, grab snacks etc. then all the suddenTeen: pretty much a young adult but still there are limits as to what they can doYoung Adult: college, travel, dating, marriage, career, buy a home, starting a familyAdult: marriage, family, career, prepare for retirementElder: retirement, grandkids, travelI feel we need tweens. Tweens: puberty, first crushes, still plays with toys but has other interestsI guess what I am trying to say is that the child sim immediately turning into a teen with out an in between stage feels like something is missing, especially now that we have infants.I would love to hear your opinions.(I know there's a pre-teen mod)Have a good one!

Teens have crushes and puberty in HSY tho.

I strongly believe it could very much be possible for the game devs to make a new Tween Lifestate in Sims 4. ;)

It seemed impossible before, for all we know the new Littles were a test and they will be able to add another before ts4 is done. We'll see but I am hopeful.

Tweens: puberty, first crushes, still plays with toys but has other interestsSo which part of this couldn't just be part of kid or teen lifestage?also all these are subjective experiences people might have at different ages(for instance some have puberty later or earlier and some might not even have crushes / have their crushes in teens or adulthood ratherand as for toys that could just be childish trait thing)I don't see anything that needs new lifestage in specific

I'm not opposed. I think it would be nice to do for Sims 5.I do think there needs to be more if a distinction between teens and young adults in CAS. Mods that shorten teens a tad help me to distinguish them better.

No, I don't think we need anymore life stages.

I'd just like shorter teens but I don't think we'll get that in this game, maybe Sims 5.

I don't think we need another life stage either. As a mother of 4 kids, I can tell you there isn't much distinction and I find the whole tween idea silly. It's a short transition between about 10-12 where they stop playing with "little kid" toys and start doing things that are slightly less "childish". But major changes in activities and interests happen after they hit their teens.

The biggest gap is actually between toddlers and children. The age from about 3-6/7 is missing. But, as I said already, I don't want anymore life stages.

I agree :D It has always annoyed me that Sim teens are the same height as adults
