Teens are Young Adults with a name change and minor differences, IMO.
The game seems rushed out, like they did not have time for all the extra animations teens would need.
Just one of many features the base game came without. We didn't even get toddlers.
I don't care for them, however, they should not take away the current teens because some simmers want to play the mature end of the teen stage. And even some of my sims, I do identify them with the mature end of the stage, preparing for Uni and all.
I would prefer tweens being added, because there is a difference between immature and mature teens.
I use the shorter teens mods because these 19 year old looking teens have bothered me since the beginning.
There are a few animation issues, because of the difference in size while using young adult animations, but I can't go back because TS4 teens look like they missed the majority of the teen stage.

Yeah some teens can look like adults, but this is a game with a stage that is supposed to represent the entire teen life, so it should look like a person in the middle of shortest and tallest height.

I guess it depends on the simmer, but this seems right to me while what the game has seems too old to represent the entire stage.
But I am fine with a mod despite some quality issues. It doesn't really matter what they do this late in the game.
