So we have toddlers, children, Teens, young adults, Adults and Elders but I think we are missing a stage from 16/17 to about 20 you are at an odd stage you are not a kid anymore and not a teen but you also don't feel like am Adult (it's before the Ya stage) I call this stage the pre- Adult Stage I Remember feeling this way in college(A-level) and University. It's an important part of our lives and is missed out in the Sims I think a university pack would be the perfect time to add this overlooked stage in our lives what do you think?

Tweens. not a child and not a teen. I feel like there is a gap between child and teen. Or maybe middle age, something between 50 and 70. I feel it so weird that adults suddenly have bad backs and sloppy walkstyle as soon as they age into elders.

The teens in the game look to be around 18 so I'd say we do have that stage. University already has the stage it needs; Young Adults. Any new ages that they add should be younger ones imo, like pre-teens or an age between toddler and child. That said, I don't see them adding a new age group.

No! That would be such a waste of time to add a new age.

No. There's no need to add any new age group.

I don't personally feel this is needed as YA covers that for me. I wouldn't mind pre-teens being added at some point though, but honestly I'm more interested in the age groups we have already being developed. Babies, teens and elders could definitely benefit from some attention. When University arrives, I hope we can have 'mature students' too i.e. adults and elders that want to better their education.

Shoud Univesty come with another age

I rather see a Tween life stage.

@Karon I personally fail to see how middle aged sims are lacking when the vast majority of the gameplay is already focused on adults. :/

@ListentoToppDogg I think the game is more towards Young Adults than Adults by itself... Like, everything could easily have been added in a University EP, like the clubs, the karaoke/night life, etc... But I agree, thats why i think Tweens should be added first.
BUt, my point in relation to Middle Aged sims is that there is something lacking between elders and adults to me (actually, the elders lack a bunc has well haha). Like for me YA are from 18 to 29. Adults look like 30 to 40 than we jump to 70+ with elders... I miss something in between. But definitely that life stage wouldn't be added on University... maybe on a Generations EP. I they go to the Go To School for all ages route, I would want them to add Preteens.

@Karon. Oh, I see what you mean now. I thought you were talking about gameplay and not the actual age groups.

As stated before, the Young Adult age group originally came with the University pack, so I don't think that there's a need for a new age group specifically for University. However, it would have been nice to have more Adult stages though. Like Young Adult-->Adult-->Older Adult and then Older Adult transitions into Elder.

We have plenty of age stages. I don't want them to waste ANY resources on this. Buildable dorms, roommates, classes, hopefully active professor career....these are all going to be fighting for enough budget already. (Plus all the assets that should be with Uni- bunk beds, pool tables, spiral stairs!)

The game doesn't need to add a new life stage for University. They just need more things to distinguish the current life stages.

Nothing really fits for uni. Its' either teen or YA. Or an adult who goes to uni later in life.

No, Im happy with the age groups that we have. if anything id really like to seem them develop the elders more. Nothing seems to really change once you become an elder except for some wrinkles.

I would prefer if YA is used for some sort of University stage. For me YA and A are more or less the same now and once my sims reach A, I am already a bit bored because they have done everything during their YA stage. So having them be off at some sort of University with some part-time job similar to what Teens get would be preferable and then they can start with regular jobs and careers as A. Though the option to skip university with YA and go directly to regular jobs like it is now should be available, but perhaps they would miss out on some bonuses or certain careers because they skipped Uni.
