Would you like pre-teens?

Nope. Unnecessary time and effort and resources to be put in. Plus, people are probably gonna complain how every other group other than YA have nothing to do in the game.

I voted yes because I'm not against it, but with that being said, I'm not sure how that would contribute much to the game.

Yes absolutely. For me, Teens in TS4 have always felt like the much older teens (17-19) who are right on the cusp of adulthood. Its just rather a jarring change from being an 8 or 9 year old person to 17ish over night. I feel like..."Woah? Where'd that 10ish years of my sim's life go?"

I personally feel like it would be a waste of resources, and I’m happy with how the teens in my games look

Hard no, not only would it be a waste of resources, it feels entirely unneeded. What IS needed though is more differences between Teen and Young Adult life-stages. They're too similar, making the jump from Teen to Young Adult as it is in TS4 is almost pointless, since they can practically wear and do the same clothes activities that YA and up can do.

I'd rather they focus on improving the life stages we have. An additional, unnecessary, life stage would take away development time that could be used elsewhere.

That time could be used making our teens more distinguishable from adults.

How sad it is that people vote no because of a lack of resources/poor expectations.

But maybe if we all voted yes we would get pre-teens in the sims 5.

Well, it's not as if resources are unlimited. (And that goes for all gaming companies.) They can't just do whatever they want; it has to be profitable or they would lose money. That's why budgets exist.

What I'd really like is for all sims to gradually increase in height, over time. But obviously, that would cause problems with animations and the unfortunate reality that resources are always limited.

We need more ages.
Also, the tweens will be shorter than the young adults & be able to tell the difference between the ages.
Unfortunately, the teens are an exact duplicate to the young adults.

I've said yes purely because I really dislike the lack of differentiation between all life stages - basically as soon as they age up from child they are the same life stage until they die - just because there is really nothing that distinguishes them. If current teens were reworked to make them actual teens rather than what feels like YA, then I don't think there would be a need for pre teens. I guess I just dont feel like our current teens are teens.

No, for what everyone else said, plus then, how do you define the "preteen" stage anyway? Onset of puberty? What it that happens at 8? Boys in my family start at 8, even my father did back in the day.
