This picture made me laugh though???Even though I haven't played much of ts3, from what I remember kids we're my favorite. They looked and felt younger then ts4 kids and they were so lively and playful!! With much to do.
I responded to quite a few similar threads so I won't repeat myself all over but I think teens are fine. People act like ts3 didn't have hard faced looking teens sometime. ?? I would like to see what people would have said if ts3 teens were the same height. Plus the artstyle makes a difference too. It's a video game. It can't calculate all the ways it needs change a face to make it look like a "teen"
Teens are more then just short skinny and lanky. They look all kind of ways, shapes and sizes. And just like in real life, although people look all kind of ways at different ages, in general you can tell a teen not because they are short and skinny. I've seen tons of tall teens and fat teens but it's a youthfulness in the face that was placed there naturally. Now we expect a game to replicate that.
You need to go in an edit your teen to make them look how you want in age. Don't expect the game to it.
All we need is more tools to help without mods like height sliders or presets and more skin details/makeup and overall CAS stuff to play with.
All the little details mean so much as to how a sim looks and what age. But it's very possible to get varying looking aged teens face wise. With height slider even more so.
I guess I just repeated myself ? oh well...
