Would you buy pre teens pack?

I conceded that fixing the life stage gap was too much work, specifically that they'd have to keep supporting it from now on, but then I checked out that mod everyone was talking about. With just a couple of small changes they were able to use all the same models and clothing, so I don't think the work would have to be that much after all. The mod already did the hard work, so I'd love to see it be made official.

The stage is a new stage called pre teens, they’re already in sims free play, they fill the big age gap between kids and teens.

I was intrigued reading your comment so I went to look up Sims Freeplay. Turns out, the life stages are all funky compared to TS4.

Newborn and Infant are merged into the same life stage and are called Babies.

Then they grow from Babies into Toddlers.

After Toddler stage, they become Preteens (renamed from Child - not an additional life stage).

After this Preteen stage, they become Teens. Then after Teens they become Adults. So no Young Adult stage. Then after Adult, they become Seniors (renamed from Elder).

So the “idea” that TS4 should have Preteens because Freeplay does is a fallacy. They simply changed the name in Freeplay from Child to Preteen but it is essentially the same life stage.

What you are asking for does not exist in Freeplay and that is for the creation of a new life stage in between Child and Teen.

EA must have changed them recently then, I haven’t played free play in long but last time when I played there was a separate pre teen stage that looked older than kids but smaller than teens it wasn’t perfect but it was good..

Keep in mind also once they’re in game either patched or in a pack they can always be improved in the future like how EA changed teens abit to make them less than YA with exception to their heights, sadly

Just no. I don't want it.

Lifestages should never be gated content.

One of my most wanted features besides cars not a question I'd buy a preteen pack.

If we get a pre teen lifestage, it should be available for base game. Just like infants are available for all simmers, with or without the growing together pack. Just imagine the mess on the gallery if some players have access to an age group and others don't. A pack could add more content for this particular lifestage but I don't know what should be in that pack.

I don't know if I would get that pack but after the introduction of infants I feel a need for pre teens. We have such a nice gradual growth from new born to child, it makes no sense to have an age gap between children (ground school age) and teens who feel at least 16 years old in the sims 4.

I would expect it to come out as a patch/for the base game. Probably similar to infants, with an additional pack you can buy. But I can't really see what exactly would be in that pack...To be honest, while I do see the need for a life stage between child and teen, or an adjustement to the current teen stage (seriously, it's jarring seeing them grow so much from cute kid to basically adult lite) I can't really picture it happening. I think the infant update kind of got people talking about this more, but at the same time they just added a new life stage to the game, I can't see them going for another one any time soon.

I would buy it, but I'd rather just have the teens look younger. That's all I really want. Make them shorter and younger.

Yes this is what I want. I’ll pick other as well

Preteens should become a new lifestate in Base just like the new Babies. Then later maybe a fun Gameplay for Tweens.

There's so many child life stages already. In a full lifespan, sims who die of old age spend 36% of their mortal years as a minor.

newborn + infant + toddler + child + teen = 36% of a sim's life
young adult + adult + elder = 63% of of a sim's life

Translated to human years, if adulthood begins at 18yrs, then a sim will retire at age 44, and life expectancy is a short 50 years all up.

I'd like to see more adult life stages, particularly since there isn't a great deal of difference between the young adult and adult stages.
