Among my best friends in high school were guys who were 6'5", 6'6", 6'8", and 6'11" by the time we graduated. The tallest boy reached that height at 17. We're still friends, and he's still 6'11". The boy who was 6'6" was that tall when he was a 16-year-old sophomore.
I was 5'10" at 14, and I'm not quite 6'0" now. My high school pictures would reveal a boy who looked like neither of the dudes in the meme.
@MoonlightGraham Are you telling us that your HIGH school was situated somewhere up in the clouds near the top of a giant beanstalk?? ?
At 10 years of age I was about 5’10 and my classmates often ridiculed me for being the awkwardly goofy -
never got picked for the team, not even basketball - giant. My head was (still is?) an absolute ball magnet. Slam dunk - my face.
Anyways, physically I’m no longer 10 but I’m still an average 5’10, although compared to today’s teens I feel like a friggin’ hobbit. Not sure what they put in the Cheerios nowadays but it’s definitely growth hormones and they seem to stop working on dudes my age. Maybe I ate too much E numbered garbage back in the 90’s. Perhaps it’s because I dwell in Leprechaun Land. Who knows.
I believe many of today’s teen boys are freaks of nature: there are a lot of hairy, soft skinned monsters among them. No, not quite like mister picture number two, more like mister picture number one’s face with mister picture number two’s facial hair slapped onto the cheeks. A rather curious, but realistic combo meal.
As others mentioned, the Sims 4 teens aren’t that unrealistic especially with parenthood installed, but it’s also what you make of em. Right after aging up from kid to teen I always edit my sims to look like half- kids. The type of hair style and clothing can make a world of a difference.
Some of the teen ladies have plenty of bosom blossom going on too, so in their first teenage years I tend to size that part down a bit….and gradually enlarge the situation as the sim gets ‘older’…
I use height sliders for all my sims but even without those you could make a teen resemble a teen…
Yeah.
I dunno.
In all fairness now I don’t really play much with teen sims. My guys are born all hairy and tall like thirty something year olds. ?
