Which one is the Teenager?

I wish there was a way to end the poll lol.

The teenager was long hair! Most of you guessed right! Thank you all for playing! ☺️

Bonus: Young Adult - Short side swept hair cut in the middle with the skirt. Adult Bob hair cut.

So @Bearpal64 those who guessed right...are they getting a price?
(Am I getting a price?)

:p

I know they all looked very very similar but the fact that MOST people guessed right wouldn't that mean teens are infact distinguishable??
Even though it's subtle the long hair one definitely looks a bit younger compared to the other two. Which is why I chose it.

oh cool, i was right lmao.

but i like your point. way to hard to tell. they need to be shorter.

They just need something! Something to differentiate from Young Adult to Adult. Thanks to Parenthood I can give them acne or bad facial hair or both lol. But from the neighborhood management screen it would be nice to know what the ages of the Sims are just by looking at them. Maybe an icon or something when you click on them. Sometimes I like to "save" the townies I like for future friends/mates and it would be nice not to go into CAS with each household just to find the age groups I'm trying to save lol.

As for height, I only grew 1/2 inch in high school. It is said girls gain their height by age 16, whereas boys can continue to grow until they're 21. Does one size fit all. No, of course not. There are going to be those who don't fit this formula, but enough of us do, hence the saying.

Indeed, and in fact I had my full height pretty much by the end of primary school (or else very early high school), so around 12 years of age at the most! I'm now just a short, old person. :D (Well, semi-old. I'm Gen X). I was always just a short person. However, from the age of about 12 everyone thought I was 16. As a number of you have mentioned however, that might not change for years..... and it didn't! When I was 24, people STILL thought I was 16. It wasn't amusing anymore by then. The last time I was asked for ID was when I was about 34, prior to that I was last asked at 28 years when buying cigarettes!

No need to clarify that this most definitely does not happen anymore. :D

The last time I was I.D.ed was when I was 23 and pregnant. Guess the waitress couldn't tell. Somebody (a much older woman) from my parish thought I was only 35 when my hubby and I were crowned in honor of our 40th anniversary. I was quite flattered, of course. Sadly, I'm now 65 and nobody mistakes me for much younger. Ho-hum.

I went with the one on the left, face has to me a younger look.

Oops, I guess I meant the "long hair". I thought it was "side swept".

I think Sims 4 players just learned to distinguish them, because we had to haha. For me it's rounder face, less chin and jaw, less distinctive cheekbones and smaller hips and chest that make me think “that's a teen”. But it's also possible to create YA that way. With the same sim of different ages you will see the difference. With two sims — not necessarily.

Wow! I thought for sure the one in the middle was the adult, she has little creases around her nose!

Longer hair is often said to make 20-30 yr olds look younger. So no, I wouldn't say it means teens arent distinguishable. I thought the longer hair looked younger but went for a different sim because I knew about the long hair effect.

An accurate comparison would have all the sims with the same hair and clothes.

Yeah, I thought the long hair was more of a teenage style. I originally thought that was the teen as well, but only because of the hairstyle. Teens do have somewhat slimmer figures, but it's hard to tell under clothing. Teens are definitely not distinguishable.

What's interesting is that I took the Sim I made as a young adult and then saved a copy to the library and then added them in as new Sim household members and then used styled looks and new hairstyles as I changed their ages.

I thought it was an interesting challenge because so many times I'll look at a Sim in the world and I'm like they will be my teens new friend only to find that they are actually a young adult or an adult.

I just really wish they had more defining features.
