    Teens can not use “ dance on side table” options during parties, but option is available at all other times. (2) Teens can not use dj equipment. (3) Teens can not purchase any type of transportation (scooters, mopeds, etc.) (4) Teens can not use computer to schedule trips to Cahaya…. not sure if items above are bugs, oversights, or intentional programming that will not be fixed.

I’m quite sure this is intentional and not a bug for most of the things you mentioned, teens are underage and I really don’t want my teens see doing that ‘dance on side table’ at all ö.Ö’
Maybe it’s intentionally restricted for parties and it’s a bug it’s not restricted all the time? ^^’
I haven’t seen the DJ booth animation yet but that might be for similar reasons?
And usually minors don’t travel alone either.
There might come some changes with the vehicles, but there are still lots of issues to be solved.

It’s all about your perspective, I guess. Not all teens are underage. Some high school seniors are 18, and a large number of college freshmen/sophomores are still teens. If you look at how they are presented in-game, they don’t look any different than a 25 year old young adult. To prevent them from going on spring break without their parents, or think they are not old enough to ride a scooter or use a dj deck seems a bit of a stretch. The K-pop idol trainee requires young adult+. This could also be viewed as somewhat unrealistic. The majority of K-pop band/teen idol group members start as teens. I have seen discussions that suggested that this was done because it was viewed as being manipulative. I’m not sure if this is true, but if it is, I would suggest not bringing perceived real-world issues into a video game; just make the video game world better. I’m guessing that most of the teen interaction limitations will get fixed. There are just a lot of other things going on right now. I like to spend a significant amount of time enjoying each life stage, so limited game-play options will impact my game more than most.
