Teen: Difference between revisions

|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]]'', and ''[[The Sims 3]]'', and the fourth life stage (if the Toddlers update is installed) in ''[[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 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.

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.

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 thinner frames than their adult self, less curves on their body, and a bit of youthful pudge on their face."<!-- Bot Generated Title -->] ''Twitter''.

Unlike in ''The Sims 2'', Teensteens do not have the option to age up early and attend college, instead growing up into [[Youngyoung Adultsadults]].

Things that Teensteens can do that older Sims can't:

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. However,Even EA saysthough teens can't woohoo butWooHoo, 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 "messMess aroundAround" together and then "woohooWooHoo" together as adults, they will not receive the "firstFirst woohooWooHoo" moodlet which implies otherwise. The "messMess aroundAround" interaction is also countscounted towards the number of times a simSim woohoosWooHoos. 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.

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.
