Should sims go through puberty?

General puberty phase I'm down, but gender specific. no.

Maybe its just with the parenthood pack but I feel like when the sim kids go through their phases is probably the closest they will get to puberty

Mood swings, and acne are a pretty good representation of puberty, without having to go into potentially inappropriate detail.
The only additional thing that could be added to the concept, would be for teens to obsess over things, like particular books, movies, music, and celebrities.

I think what we have now as far as that goes is fine. Maybe the addition of acne breakouts but other than that no.

No. They might put in the menopause and men's mid-life crisis too! :o

I think it would be an interesting little touch to have a female Sim, a few days before ageing up to an elder, start fanning herself and getting overheated moodlets at random.

I'm all for changes that make the life stages more different than just what the Sims look like. Currently, I think all of the Sims from teenager to elder are too similar.

Not interested

I mean I guess the question would be what exactly would going through puberty mean? I myself as a girl don't remember anything "specific" happen besides a few girly issues. Some people get acne and we already have mood swings. What else could there be?

And remember not ALL teens even get acne. It's a hormonal imbalance and many adults may also get it.
And mentally everyone ages and acts differently.
I just can't think of what could be added.
I'd personally much rather just have a highschool pack with teen drama and activities.

TS3 Generations had a chance of midlife crisis for adult Sims.

Yes, probably but when I played Generations I didn't touch it. Bad memories. :#
