What do you want for improved teens

I know this probably also is about kids but im gonna say it anyway. It would be so nice if the kids/teens learned skills in school! o_o

It would be neat to have online schooling too and prep for college with classes. I would love a mall lot for them to visit too. I would like them to sneak out and got caught by police again. I would like some activities for them to do as well like going to dances and sleepovers and sports games. I think it would be good for them to deal with some consequences too like with cyberbullying and dealing with fear and enduring emotional struggles. I find teenagers is an important stage in social skills and how they will interact with people later on in life.

Yea i would really love this stuff too. But if they made a mall expansion some of the clothes would have to cost money and not be available for free in CAS. And hey who says that's a bad idea? Right now your sim can walk around in an expensive dress while not being able to pay the bill! And besides all that it would actually give clothing stores from the EP get to work a purpose....

- The most important thing to improve teens for me is to be able to follow them with active high school adults have many careers you can follow if you decide but teens are in a rabbit hole
- Best friends and enemies and unique interactions and systems to support this
- Learning to drive
- Teen parties
- Bad hygiene can cause break outs and cause embarrassment depending on traits
- Pranks and picking on younger siblings and other teens
- Prom and graduation not a rabbit hole
- Rebellious Trait
- School cliques
- Teen hobbies

Making them different from young adults would be cool enough!

Make them more different compared to young adults. Give us the ability to change their height and size.

Give them more stuff to do, and give them unique activities, give them a high school and reasons to hang out at them like high school activities.

Some way for them to stay connected, the only way my teens can find each other are at the park, very late at night or at teen hangout spots.

Give them more stuff to learn, like learning to drive.

Teen parties, like some sort of social event where the parents go away to a rabbit hole and the teens are left alone at home.

I want most of what was already listed. Running way, sneaking out, teen parties when adults are away,teen traits, active highschool with after school activities, optional bullying (for those who might get triggered) high school drama, dances, group pranks they can partake in.

I would live for them to partake in mischief around the school then get detention if caught.
I would love cliques also.
And of course teen events.

One thing I don't know is why so many want acne. I like that it's optional now because not all teens have acne. 3 of my siblings including me never had it and one of them did. But he's an adult now and he he still has acne problems as many adults do.

But u would be thrilled if we ever got a teen pack. Love playing teens and kids most

Here's the best solution for dealing with inaccurate teenaged sim portrayal.
1. Make the current teens the young adults. They might not represent teenagers that well, but as a 24 year old, I feel that teen sims represent 18-25 year olds a lot more accurately than young adult sims. The creators only need to turn high school into community college, add full woohoo and marriage capabilities, lower the minimum age for University access, remove the "ask about woohoo" interaction, remove timeouts, make their bodies a tiny bit more filled out, and add some age appropriate phases.
2. Make the current young adults regular adults. The current young adults give off a late 20's/early 30's vibe as opposed to a late teens/early-mid 20's vibe.
3. Make the current adults middle aged adults. They look like they're at least 40 and could be made to look as old as 64/65.
4. After reformatting the current teen-adult phases, the creators should create a new teen phase with teens who are shorter and younger looking from day 1. These teens shouldn't be allowed to live away from home, should still be allowed to play with toys without the childish trait (some younger teens still play with toys), and should have all the rebelliousness of Sims 3 teens.

I only want more activities like prom for them.

I hate the idea of them having a curfew like in Sims 3. I hated that so much in Sims 3. My sims are busy overachievers who sometimes need to be out late at night, especially if they're vampires. We should have the ability to have punish them or not - the game shouldn't dictate this.

I would like after school activities, prom, and graduation. I don't want cliques. We don't have them where I live so it would feel very unreleastic to me and I wouldn't really understand them. Maybe be optional if they do.

They love to play pranks (especially the senior prank).

What is the senior prank? Is it the same as a year 13 prank where they will pull a big prank (often with teachers permission) on the last day of school. If it is that would be awesome to have in the Sims.

Hygiene is an issue for some of them, and it leads to really bad b.o. and acne. The game could possibly reflect this with quicker deterioration of hygiene for teens only.

Just wondering how this could be done without being a problem for mermaids. Hydration acts a lot like Hygiene.
