Talking Teenagers
Hey Simmers, Wow, it's been literally 3 years since I was on the forums, no lie. I've just been getting back into The Sims 4 over the past few days, and I have a serious question for you all... ...

Many players have exactly the same issue with teens as you do (like me, nothing to add), others will say nowadays teens are often taller than their parents or show pictures where adults played teens (Grease) and nobody noticed right? For me this are no arguments, because while a teen may be taller than their parents, they aren’t taller than themselves when they become adult. Plus the teens played by adult actors represent at least the 17/18 yr olds, I think the game needs 13/14 yr olds. And last but not least: it’s a game where life stages matter, so there must be diversity, it must be clear. Each life stage should be recognizable (using some stereotypes; yeah I know not every elder walks with a stick and bends over, but some do and I need an elder to look like one too).
Hey, thanks for your response. Yeah I know that some teens are taller than their parents, but this game isn't about 100% reality for me. It's a game so it's a version of reality, it's a simulation, and things are often "represented" and characatured in a Sims format, which is why that visual distinction becomes important. So I agree about using some stereotypes to get the ideas across for the different lifestages.
