I discovered this by accident.I was editing a townie household in CAS and I deleted one of the Sims and went back to the game. When I started to play the remaining Sim, I realised the Sim was a teen. Plays fine.I did have testingsheats true and cas.fulleditmode on set, so don't know whether it would work without them, but adds another little addition to what we can do fairly easily.

It's been there since the... Sims 1 I believe. ;)

Yes - since they were already placed and you deleted the adult the teen can live alone. I'm not sure if you can just move a single teen right from CAS to a house though - without an adult.

It's been there since TS2, There is a premade family with two teens running the household. They're called The Newson Family =Phttp://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Newson_family

I think this was new in the March patch? Something around then.

I tried the other day because I found a cool townie I wanted to save but she was a teen and it wouldn't let me move her in without an adult. Did I do it wrong?

Has it? I looked into doing this sometime ago and I remember the advice was some kind of rigmarole being advised that involved killing elders!

Aye, I knew that wasn't possible and that you couldn't just create a new teen only household, but I have tried to do it in CAS in the past and when I try and save the household it wouldn't let me. This time it did.

I believe you have to move them, the teen, in with an adult, then go into mange worlds - edit family - then delete the adult.
