Middle school student and young adult shouldn't be the same height.

I think this image looks funny. Imagine a 13-15 year old child the same height as you.It definitely needs a correction.

Agreed.

Adolescent (middle schoolers) should be scaled into a size which is 50% dead-smack in the middle between “Teenager” and “Child” stages… Scale down the teenager (has it has breast and a face slightly less complete than the adult) and adjust the interactions and good to go,

It’s not a priority change IMHO, but definitely something that should happen.

Absolutely :slight_smile:

I wish there was a height slider in CAZ because very few adults are around 4’ 2" and few are over 6’ 8", and this slider should also work for all age groups, but it’s probably just a wish :stuck_out_tongue:

This should have been done from the beginning..

Agreed, it’s always off-putting when they age out of childhood and I always jumped with like: “Who the heck is that” ? before realizing it’s my own kid.

Should have happened long ago, but it’s never too late to fix it.

Also, unfortunately we can’t choose Adolescent Zoi’s in CAZ. this needs to change.

I agree!

it is very confusing in gameplay. At one point, I tried to have a young adult zoi flirt with someone before realising they were an adolescent!!! Thank goodness the game doesn’t allow that sort of thing but I still feel really uncomfortable about it.

THERE NEEDS TO BE AN OBVIOUS VISIBLE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ADOLESCENTS, TEENAGERS AND YOUNG ADULTS!!

And it can’t just be a difference in their faces. It needs to be visible from a distance!!!

Yes, being able to pick any of the missing age groups in CAZ would be interesting as well

As for Newborn and Toddler… how to configure those ?
Easy, switch to young adult, make your zoi then put the age slider back to newborn.
That way when your newborn (or toddler) grows up, they will have proper looks for both child and beyond since the game tracks that.

It’s not that this would cause a problem, so why not ?

We cannot structure a newborn child in CAZ. We can partially modify a toddler who has started to walk. Child -Adolescent-Teen-YG-AD-MA-SN are important to me. I keep the lifespan of toddlers and newborns who are just starting to walk in the game short. It’s not that important to me.

It is SUPER important.

If we ever get to save families one day, I want access to all age groups, and my family will probably start with a newborn, 2 toddlers, and 3 childs (with one a day away from turning adolescent)."

If I cannot create that family in CAZ, it’s quite the headache to properly adjust once in game. If not impossible.

So how are you planning to adjust the newborn and toddler appearance ? :laughing:

I mentioned how in my previous post.

You setup the young adult looks, and once done you click the newborn/toddler/child age group and save preset.
When the child grow up they will have the young adult look you spent a couple dozen minutes on.
I did that many, many times and it works every time !

I don’t have a very in depth opinion on the height issue tbh. I’m very simple when it comes to those things. As long as I can have various large families with enough space to grow, I’m quite happy xD

I agree with @Samuriko on editing for newborns and toddlers though. Thanks to the newest version of the baby bug, I noticed how much I’d love the option to customize the little ones more. I’d be happy about new hairstyles first and foremost. I like your workaround for CAZ a lot. Have to try that myself. Thanks for sharing it :smiley:

To have a large family we need to be more than 8. :sweat_smile:

It takes the time and diligence of the whole team to fix this. Since it will be necessary to adjust all animations to each other (objects, Zoi, etc.) with growth, you need to use the IK animation system for this. To set it up correctly, you need to reconfigure half the game, and it takes a lot of time. And you want new content now, so you’ll be waiting a very long time for this fix.:grin:

It’s not realistic for a middle school student to be the same height as an adult. :laughing:
