Now that we have infants...

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 day
Infant: 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 sims
Child: school, dolls, toys, make crafts, grab snacks etc. then all the sudden
Teen: pretty much a young adult but still there are limits as to what they can do
Young Adult: college, travel, dating, marriage, career, buy a home, starting a family
Adult: marriage, family, career, prepare for retirement
Elder: retirement, grandkids, travel

I feel we need tweens.
Tweens: puberty, first crushes, still plays with toys but has other interests

I 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!

I think that if they don't touch teens that tweens makes a lot of sense to implement. In the Sims 5 they 100% need more visual differences between young adults and teens. I can't stand that teens are the same height as young adults and adults. That I need to hover over sims to tell if they are teen, young adult or adult is crazy to me. I would love to see tweens, but I'm not sure if we will see them given that Sims 5 has been announced and they only have a few more packs lined up.


    Sims 5 is probably far away, 2026 or 2028. Simmers have and they will keep ignoring what Maxis and SimGurus themselves have stated a BILLION times how The Sims 4 WILL keep getting new PACKS, UPDATES & KITS for many many more YEARS. Sorry nothing personal but this kind of popular statement comment made me put off as so many Simmers keep having false belief that Sims 5 is coming very soon, I'm telling you it's not. Unless EA wants to rush release yet another incomplete base game. :* <3 o:)

    With all the bugs,crashing,glitches and other bad problems piling on,I doubt that Sims 4 will last much longer. I for one will leave Sims 4 once Paralives and Life For You launches,and I imagine a lot of other Simmers could do it,too. Why should we have to keep putting up with all these bugs and glitches when EA keeps giving us content that's broken? Why should we keep giving EA our money for packs that contain a lot of set dressing and very little gameplay?

    Simmers aren;t "ignoring" anyone-they're getting angry and fed up because they feel like neither the Gurus or EA is listening to them. Simmers are sick and tired of the bugs,glitches,freezing and crashing of Sims 4.

    I successfully removed the beloved trait off of both parents and since the dad is not a celebrity, I tried to see if he could interact with either of the infants but it was still the same as before. The interactions are limited to ones that would exist if the parent was a stranger to the infant :/ I even tried restarting the game to see if that would make a difference but it didn’t :(

    So sorry it didn't work! I hope EA comes up with a solution soon!

    On the site above (Answers HQ), you can search for the problem and either "me too" it or add your own comments. If it isn't already listed there, you can start a new thread. But most likely, it's already been reported.

    Did you try traveling with the family at all? Sometimes when you travel to another lot and return to the home lot, things reset themselves. You could try with the whole family, if that doesn't work, try with just each parent separately, see if that helps. Also, can try going back into CAS and coming out, see if that resets the relationship now that you've removed the trait. It may not work, but worth a shot.
