We shouldn't be having this "teens are too tall, preteens when" discussion like in 4.
Let's give Sims actual ages.
Our Sims shouldn't be "young adults" or "adults". They should be 24, or 40. They should get the option to retire at 60, graduate from high school at 18, preschool at 5.
One other thing: accents. If a phone app can change my Australian voice to sound British or American, then it should be possible in The Sims.
Let's make Sims that truly represent the global audience of the game. Keep the same cast of voice actors, keep the pitch options, but add the ability to add accent filters to their voices. What if I want Bob Newbie to be from Boston? Bella Goth from SoCal? Malcolm Landgraab from Liverpool? It should be possible.
