What do you want for improved teens

Teens in TS4 should have been shorter, and smaller frames. We should have been able to know they were teens by their behavior. Teens are immature as a general rule. But not so in TS4. Teens have different wants/wishes than adults as a general rule. Is that stereotyping? I guess so, however, it's still based in facts. As an adult, I don't care about what is trending on Twitter, nor instagram, nor who is dating who but a teen might.

I have never liked these tall teens in TS4.
I've always felt like they skipped over all the life events that should happen between child and young adult and went straight to the day before they will turn into a young adult.

It's plainly obvious to me that EA did not have enough time for teens for the TS4 base game, so they copy pasted young adults and called them teens.

I saw someone with a shorter sim on the forums.
I thought someone had finally made a decent height mod, so I went off searching for one.


I found the Auto Shorter Teens mod.
It came in two versions. This is the short version, which was too subtle for me, but is should have less glitches.
You can tell the teen is shorter if you observe carefully.


But that wasn't good enough.
I went with the shortest version.


Now that is obviously a teen and not a young adult.


This is so important to me.
This stage should give you a clue as to the adult your sim will become.
A child gives you no idea, and then suddenly they look like an adult when they turn into a TS4 teen.


She looks like she has her teen stage to live out instead of looking like she missed most of it.


I ran her through some tests.
She's actually brushing her teeth instead of her eyeballs.


But there has to be problems somewhere as a modder can only do so much.
The problem is with seating. Her derriere clips into the chair.


It should be a problem with all seating situations.


A bike should show any problems.


Again, the seat, and the leg location here is in the most extreme position.
That's the worse it can get.


Meditation looks really bad.
Oh well, mine won't meditate. Yoga should be OK... maybe.
I'll have to give that a test. Better test rock climbing as well.


It's pretty obvious who the teen is.
I do believe I will be keeping this mod even though I wish I did not have to turn to mods for this.
It makes the game feel more like TS2 and TS3 and I feel like my sims still have more growth and development to go though before they become young adults instead of being instantly there like the tall teens.
