A Teenager

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 remains one for a maximum of 15 days before aging into an adult. Teens can become young adults if the player chooses to send them 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, and if Nightlife or later expansion packs are installed, turn-ons and turn-offs are also set at this time.

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

A Teen in The Sims 3

Teens in The Sims 3 have 4 traits. They can have the 'Childish' or 'Dislikes Children' traits. Their next life stage is young adult.

Like child Sims, teenagers Sims have a curfew. However, teenagers have a curfew of 11:00pm which is an hour later than the curfew for a child. 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"...)

Teen behavior mods

With a mod, teenagers can WooHoo, Try for Babies, get married and move in with each other.
