Teens are not included in the [[List of The Sims games#The Sims 2 era\|console games based on ''The Sims 2'']] or in ''[[The Sims Medieval]]''. }} {{All \|name= Teen \|image= [[File:TeenCatchingButterflies.jpg\|235px]] \|caption= A teen in ''The Sims 3''. }} '''Teen''', or '''teenager''', is the fourth [[life stage]] of a [[Sim]] in ''[[The Sims 2]]'', ''[[The Sims Stories]]'', ''[[The Sims 3]]'', and ''[[The Sims 4]]''. It succeeds the [[child]] life stage and precedes the [[young adult]]{{Vgversion\|TS2U}}{{Vgversion\|TS3}}{{Vgversion\|TS4}} or [[adult]] {{vgversion\|TS2}}{{vgversion\|TSS}} life stage. Teens are not included in the console games based on ''The Sims 2'', ''[[The Sims Bustin' Out]]'', and ''[[The Sims Medieval]]''. The teen life stage is not present in ''[[The Sims]]'', ~~but~~as ~~players~~Sims in this game do not age. Players can download [[custom content\|custom]] head and body [[skins]] which can give a Sim the appearance of being a teen. The life stage is featured in ''[[The Sims FreePlay]]'' with the ''Teenagers'' update, in which pre-teens can grow up to the teen life stage by completing a certain quest. Prior to the update, Sims can only grow as far as the [[pre-teen]] life stage. Sims in this life stage can be enrolled in high school. ~~== Physiology ==~~ ~~[[Image:The_sims_3_teen.jpg\|thumb\|right\|A Teen in ''[[The Sims 3]]'']]~~ The teen life stage lasts for 14{{Lifespan\|N}}{{Vgversion\|TS3}}{{Vgversion\|TS3C}} or 15{{Vgversion\|TS2}}{{Vgversion\|TSS}} days, and represents a Sim's life from approximately 12 or 13 to approximately 17 or 18. Teens can grow up earlier if they go to [[college]].{{Vgversion\|University}} In ''The Sims 2'', ''The Sims Stories'', and ''The Sims FreePlay'', the name of the life stage is called "Teenager" while ''The Sims 3'', [[The Sims 3 (console)\|''The Sims 3'' for consoles]], and ''The Sims 4'' simply calls them "Teen". However, the manuals and help messages for ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims Stories'' refers to them as "Teen". In game, the teen life stage represents a Sim's life from approximately age 12 or 13 to approximately age 17 or 18. In ''[[The Sims 2]]'', some teens will develop acne if their [[hygiene]] motive falls too low. This adds a "use acne cream" option when using the [[mirror]] and the teen will act frightened when they "gussy up." Notably, if one of a teen's close relatives (such as a parent or sibling) has or once had acne problems, the teen is significantly more likely to get acne too. Acne is not, however, a game mechanic in ''[[The Sims 3]]''. Teens can also use gym equipment, and it becomes necessary in order to stay fit. ==The Sims 2== Teens in ''[[The Sims 2]]'' are unique in that they can age up into one of two separate life stages: [[Young Adult]] or [[Adult]]. If ''[[The Sims 2: University]]'' is installed, the player has the option to send a teen to college, where they will first live as a young adult, otherwise they will skip ahead to the adult stage. In ''[[The Sims 3]]'', the player does not have this choice; they will always age up into a young adult. [[File:Ts2 teenager.png\|thumb\|right\|120px\|A teen in ''[[The Sims 2]]'']] ===Physiology=== Teen Sims in ''The Sims 2'' are taller than children, but shorter than adults and young adults. The teen life stage lasts for 15 days although Teens can be aged up earlier if they go to [[College (sub-neighborhood)\|college]].{{Vgversion\|University}} Some teens will develop acne if their [[hygiene]] motive falls too low. Teens will act frightened when they gussy up, and an option to "use acne cream" will appear when using a [[mirror]].

If ''[[The Sims 2: Nightlife\|Nightlife]]'' or later is installed, [[chemistry\|turn-ons and turn-offs]] are also assigned at this point. However, if the "age NPCs" feature of ''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime\|FreeTime]]'' is used to age a child [[townie]] to a teen, the player will ''not'' be able to choose that Sim's aspiration, turn-ons and turn-off. ===Romance=== The teen life stage may serve as an important period in a Sim's development, as Sims can begin to build their first romantic relationships from this point onwards. Most teen Sims will have a recurring want for their first kiss and to [[Going Steady\|go steady]] with another Sim.{{Vgversion\|TS2}} Without the use of mods or hacks, teens can perform all romantic interactions except [[WooHoo]], Get Married, Propose Marriage, or Try for Baby, though they can still take care of existing babies and toddlers in the same way as older Sims. In ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims Stories'', their romantic relationships are restricted to other teens, and will be automatically broken if one teen ages up and the other does not. Teens are able to WooHoo and Try for Baby if the third party mods such as [[InTeenimater]] are installed. ===Responsibilities and Privileges=== Teens may begin to take on new responsibilities such as getting a [[part-time job]] after school or on the weekends, though they still cannot hold a [[career\|full-time job]]. Like children, they must maintain good grades, and with ''[[The Sims 2: University]]'', success at [[school]] and in skill building can earn valuable [[scholarship]] money for use during a Sim's college years. It is even possible for teens to [[running away\|run away]] if their relationship with their family is too low. Teens do not have curfews (and can remain on [[community lot]]s for as long as they like.), but they can [[sneak out]] out of the house at night or take a responsible approach by asking grown-ups for permission to go out, before hitching a ride from a friend. ===Gallery=== <gallery> Going steady.jpg\|Two teen Sims going steady.

If ''[[The Sims 2: Nightlife\|Nightlife]]'' or later is installed, turn-ons and turn-offs are also assigned at this point. However, if the "age NPCs" feature of ''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime\|FreeTime]]'' is used to age a child [[Townie]] to a teen, the player will <u>not</u> be able to choose that Sim's aspiration, turn-ons and turn-off. [[File:The sims 3 teen.jpg\|thumb\|right\|A teen in ''[[The Sims 3]]'']] In ''[[The Sims 3]]'' and [[The Sims 3 (console)\|''The Sims 3'' for consoles]], teens have four [[Trait (The Sims 3)\|traits]] and are able to choose from all of the available traits, unlike the younger life stages. Teens may also gain and potentially fulfill an early [[lifetime wish]] during this stage in the same manner as child Sims, though the player is not required to assign them lifetime wishes until they age up into young adults. Teens have four trait slots that the player can fill in; they add one trait when they age up. If ''[[The Sims 3: Generations\|Generations]]'' is installed, teens are offered a chance to defy parental authority by pulling pranks, holding a teenage party while their parents are away, or sneaking out while grounded. They may also randomly suffer from mood swings. ===Romance=== In ''[[The Sims 3]]'' and [[The Sims 3 (console)\|The Sims 3 for Console]], teens have four [[Trait\|traits]] and are able to choose from all of the available traits, unlike the younger life stages.

However, a teen dating another teen who ages up into a young adult will remain listed as their boyfriend or girlfriend, but romantic interactions between them will be disabled until the other teen has also aged up. This is the only legitimate way for a teenage Sim to have a romantic relationship with an older Sim. ===Responsibilities and Privileges=== ~~== Romance ==~~ Teens can take on new responsibilities such as getting a [[part-time job]] after school or on the weekends, though they still cannot hold a [[career\|full-time job]]. Teens now can cook meals and drive a [[car]]{{Vgversion\|Nightlife}}{{Vgversion\|TS3}}. They can also live on their own if both parents die or if all the older Sims in the household move out of their home lot. In ''[[The Sims 3]]'', if ''[[The Sims 3: World Adventures\|World Adventures]]'' is installed, teens can travel abroad by themselves. Also, Teens cannot be taken away by the [[Social Worker]]. Teenage Sims have a later [[curfew]] of 11:00pm, which is an hour later than the curfew for child Sims. Teens who violate the curfew will also get the positive "Out after Curfew" moodlet while doing so, whereas children do not. Furthermore, teenage Sims may be caught violating curfew by the police, at which point they will be sent home and given the negative "Caught after Curfew" moodlet. The teen stage may serve as an important period in a Sim's development, as Sims can begin to build their first romantic relationships from this point onwards. Most teen Sims will have a recurring want for their first kiss and to [[Going Steady\|go steady]] with another Sim.{{Vgversion\|TS2}} If ''[[The Sims 3: Generations\|Generations]]'' is installed, teens can graduate and attend a prom at their school. At the [[prom]], they may choose to go alone or with a date, and [[Graduation#The Sims 3\|graduation]] automatically occurs at the end of the teen life stage. If teens misbehave, then their parents have the opportunity to ground them. Without the use of mods or hacks, teens can perform all romantic interactions except [[WooHoo]], Get Married, Propose Marriage, or Try for Baby, though they can still take care of existing babies and toddlers in the same way as older Sims.

In ''The Sims 3'' and The Sims 3 for console, however, Teens have an 11:00 PM curfew unless accompanied by an older Sim. This cannot be avoided by using items such as tents.{{vgversion\|TS3:WA}} In ''The Sims 4'', teens are the same height as adults and young adults, but have thinner frames, fewer body curves, and pudgier faces to indicate youth.<ref>[https://twitter.com/SimGuruGraham/statuses/482248528542973955 Graham Nardone on Twitter: "@Mistyfied_MD Yes.

Teens have two trait slots to fill in unlike older life stages that have three; one trait is added when they age up from a child. ===Romance=== Without the use of mods or hacks, teens can perform all romantic interactions except [[WooHoo]], Get Married, Propose Marriage, or Try for Baby, though they can still take care of existing babies and toddlers in the same way as older Sims. Even though teens can't WooHoo, they can still "Mess Around", which is similar, but they do it with their clothes on.<ref>[https://twitter.com/SimGuruDaniel/status/501424504183062528 Daniel Hiatt on Twitter: "@Sims3loser No. Teens Mess Around instead since they can't Woohoo yet."<!-- Bot Generated Title -->] ''Twitter''. Retrieved 19 November 2014.</ref> Yet, oddly enough when two teens "Mess Around" together and then "WooHoo" as adults, they will not receive the "First WooHoo" moodlet which implies otherwise. The "Mess Around" interaction is also counted towards the number of times a Sim WooHoos. Teens can also exchange promise rings with their loved one. Also, teens can only become boyfriend/girlfriend with one another and won't go any further in their romantic relationship until they age up. ===Responsibilities and Privileges=== Teens may begin to take on new responsibilities such as getting a [[part-time job]] after school or on the weekends, though they still cannot hold a [[career\|full-time job]]. Teens do not have curfews in the base game, and can remain on [[community lot]]s for as long as they like. ''[[The Sims 4: Parenthood]]'' introduces curfews that can be set on a [[bulletin board]] for either 7:00PM, 9:00PM or 11:00PM, if the player so chooses. Ignoring hypothetical curfew will negatively impact their responsibility character value. ===Gallery=== <gallery> Charlie Alice Promis Rings.png\|Two teen Sims exchanging promise rings.
