==The Sims 2==

When a [[teen]] Sim moves out to go to [[College (sub-neighborhood)|college]],
Young adults look like [[adult]]s, but they have teen [[voice]]s. On close examination, their faces may appear younger. They move slightly slower than elder Sims, and significantly slower than adult Sims, with a "slouchy" walking animation.<ref group="n">There is a [http://www.simbology.com/smf/index.php?topic=13.0 mod] that will remove the slouchy walking animation from young adults, making them walk slightly faster than adults, but slightly slower than teens.</ref>
Regardless of [[Aspiration (The Sims 2)|aspiration]], young adults with teen friends may have [[Wants and
Because the young adult stage is directly linked to college, it works a bit differently than the other five stages. Rather than being measured in days, the young adult stage is measured in semesters. For young adults, the age bar does not display how many days are left in the stage, but displays what year of college the young adult is currently in (Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior) and how many hours until their next final exam. Once the Sim has graduated, it shows how many hours are left until he or she must leave campus. If the Sim is on academic probation, the bar will be red instead of white.
Line 25:
There are no days of the week for young adults. This mostly affects their ability to call Sims outside of the college sub-neighborhood. They can do it, but it will always be a work day or a school day for the Sims they're calling. One benefit to young adults, though, is that unlike most Sims, they don't mind being called in the middle of the night and will accept phone calls at all hours, even during the times when their classes are scheduled.
Once a Sim has left college, there are
*No icon: Graduated without honors.
*Gold star: Graduated with honors.
*Red X: Expelled due to GPA below passing level.
*White 🛇: Dropped out of university.
Sim semesters last for 72 hours each, and there are 8 semesters in a full college experience, meaning that under normal circumstances the young adult stage actually lasts 24 days. Dropping out, getting expelled, or getting put on academic probation can alter this. Sims also have the option of staying an additional 72 hours to say goodbye and hold a [[graduation]] [[party]]. Completing each of the 4 years brings a very valuable upgrade to a Sim's capabilities:
*Freshman: 5th [[Wants and
*Sophomore: Opportunity to change [[Aspiration (The Sims 2)|aspiration]];
*Junior: Ability to lock 2 wants/fears instead of just one;
*Senior: 6th want slot.
*If a Sim gets expelled, the Sim will receive a 4th [[Wants and
Young adults can only reside in the "college towns"; they cannot live in the base neighborhood. Sims leaving college, for whatever reason, automatically transition to [[adult]]s and move into the [[family bin]]. However, young adults can visit their families and friends in the base neighborhood if invited via the telephone. If ''[[The Sims 2: Nightlife|Nightlife]]'' or later is installed, they can also travel to [[community lot]]s outside the college sub-neighborhood, and the semester timer will pause while they are there. While no other young adults will appear there autonomously, they can use a cell phone to invite other young adults to the lot. Young adults can get engaged, but cannot marry until they leave college and become adults.
Young adults keep the aspirations they chose as teens. However, at the start of their junior year of college, they have the opportunity to change their aspiration if the player so chooses.
Young adults have [[majors]] instead of [[career]]s. When young adults look at a [[Newspaper#The Sims 2|newspaper]] or use a [[Computer#The Sims 2|computer]], the "Find a Job" option will be absent. If ''[[The Sims 2: Open for Business|Open for Business]]'' is installed, they cannot be employed at a [[business]] or open a home business, but they can own a [[community lot]] business. However, community lots in the college sub-neighborhood cannot be owned. They can make money by working in a cafeteria, either in their [[dormitory]] or on another lot with cafeteria service. If a lot has an espresso stand or a bar, they can make money by working as a barista or bartender. They can also make money by painting or performing for tips, though they won't make much unless their [[Creativity (skill)|Creativity]] is high. They can also earn money at the end of each semester for their grades. How well they have done academically determines the amount of money given each semester.
When on college lots, unselectable young adults will often have a near-obsession with doing assignments and research. This even extends to those who are visiting residential lots.
Line 49 ⟶ 50:
When leaving college, playable young adults receive §20,000 or their share of the household's funds, whichever is greater. The §20,000 is not subtracted from the household's funds, even if the household has more than §20,000.
Young adult townies can be made into playable adults by inviting them to a residential lot outside the college sub-neighborhood and successfully asking them to move in. A young adult townie who joins a non-college household in this way will bring a random amount of funds to his or her new household. If the Sim that proposed moving in is a college graduate, the townie will be considered a graduate, and will be given a non-honors diploma in a major that is consistent with his or her skills. If the townie's skills are too low for any major, he or she will get a diploma from the "Department of Undeclared". This diploma will not allow a Sim to enter the graduates-only careers, but a Sim who receives it will still get the extra want slots and second want/fear lock. If the townie does not receive the extra slots and lock after becoming a playable adult, the [[Game guide:FFS Lot Debugger options#My Want Slots & Locks|Fix...My Want Slots & Locks]] option on the [[FFS Lot Debugger]] (a.k.a. the "Batbox") can correct this.
If [[Lifetime Aspiration]] is present, a young adult townie moved into a non-college household will be credited with having become an adult, but will not be credited with passing the "Graduation" milestone, even if he or she is otherwise treated as a graduate.
Line 58 ⟶ 59:
*Using the [[Tombstone of Life and Death]] on young adults will age them to an elder. If the Tombstone of Life and Death is used to cause a young adult to become pregnant, one of the NPCs in the dorm will move out when the baby is born.
*If a young adult goes on vacation, they can get married and even have children. This was fixed with the [[The Sims 2: Bon Voyage/patch|''Bon Voyage'' update]].
*The opportunity to change aspiration at the end of Sophomore year is a one-time offer. If it's not taken when offered, the opportunity is lost. If ''[[The Sims 2: Nightlife|Nightlife]]'' or later is installed, it includes the ability to change the Sim's turn-ons and turn-off.
*Teens will not automatically become young adults. A [[Mod|hack]] however, exists that can age teens to young adults, regardless of whether they will go to college or not.
*Using the boolprop TestingCheatsEnabled true cheat in ''The Sims 2'', a Sim can be turned into a young adult with the option Set Age To Young Adult. The Sim will now look like a young adult, and get to do the things they do, but their next life stage would be an Elder.

In ''[[The Sims 3]]'', the young adult stage is now the default age when entering [[Create-A-Sim]], and is used to represent a wider variety of Sims than in ''[[The Sims 2]]'', with young adults seemingly ranging from the age of 18 to somewhere between 35 and 40. The young adult stage is the earliest one in which Sims can start [[careers]], move into houses on their own, get married, and have children. Young adult Sims have five [[Trait (The Sims 3)|traits]] and take 21 days on the normal [[lifespan]] setting to progress to the next life stage: [[Adult#The Sims 3|Adult]].

In ''[[The Sims 4]]'', the young adult stage is the default age when entering [[Create-A-Sim]]. The young adult stage is the earliest one in which Sims can start normal [[careers]], move into houses on their own, get married, and have children. Young adults
Young adults are slightly slimmer than adults and upon closer examination of the face, young adults lack the wrinkles and lines of adults. Female young adult Sims are also more likely to successfully become pregnant than their adult counterparts after a couple has tried for a baby. Apart from these differences in look and fertility, the gameplay of young adults is largely the same as adults.
