The TS4 teens strike me as being in the 17-19 range. Perhaps splitting the stage into 2 sub-stages of early and late teen would be advisable. As it stands, there is little in looks or CAS material to differentiate them from YA.
I got this same vibe, because for teens to be pretty obviously woohooing (even if they call it "mess around", it's the same animation and same music, just hidden behind a convenient euphemism) and preparing to apply for college, it's like they go directly from age 10 to age 18 in one fell swoop when they age up from child. Plus, if you're playing a sim in the Politics career, you can lobby for a teen's vote the same way you can adult or elder sims, again lending credence to the idea that "teen" is 18 or 19 rather than 14 or 15.
