A male teen Sim

Teenager is a life stage of a Sim in The Sims 2 and The Sims 3. It is the fourth life stage of a Sim. Teens are often the focus of player stories.

The teenage stage is crucially important to a Sim's development, as romantic relationships can develop for the first time. They can kiss, hug, flirt, etc. Teens can also take a part-time job and build skills. Teens can cook, drive a car[TS2:N][TS3], and use gym equipment.

Teens are old enough to take care of themselves and will not be taken away by the Social worker. Teens can do everything an adult does except WooHoo, take a full time job, get married, or get pregnant.

The Sims 2

A teenager in The Sims 2 lasts for a maximum of 15 days before they age into an adult. A teenager can become a young adult if the choose to go to college.[TS2:U] Teens are able to earn scholarships as well.[TS2:U]

When a Sim child becomes a teenager, their life aspiration is set by the player for the first time in their lives, and when Nightlife or later expansion packs are installed, turn-ons and turn-offs too.

Some teens have hygiene problems - they can get zits if hygiene drops. This adds an "use acne cream" option when using the mirror and the teen will act frightened when they "gussy up".

Teens are old enough to live on their own if they become orphans or when all older Sims have moved out of the lot. Some teens will run away if their relationship with their family is too low.

The Sims 3

Teenagers who violate curfew get the positive “Out after Curfew” moodlet (child age Sims do not get this moodlet). Just like children, teens that are caught violating curfew by the police will be sent home and given the negative “Caught after Curfew” moodlet.

In order for the player to be able to choose the final trait when they turn into a adult, a teen must have a school performance of an A. Otherwise, the new trait will be random. The worse they do at school, the worse the trait will be (if the teen fails, the trait may be something like "loser", "unlucky", or "evil"...)
