How to make sims look more natural!?

[Raitoon]

I'm wondering if there is some kind of mod or any tips you guys can advice me to make teen sims look more teen?! They look like young adults to me. 
I've tried playing with sliders it fks all the ingame interaction animations up... The only "acceptable" solution that helped me a little more is flat-chest mod found on this forums.
But is there anything else i can implement to make it look more like teen?! I find ingame sims look younger then the ones i've in my folder...

• Make the Sim shorter with a height slider
• Increase the size of their head to be the same size as that of a taller sim (to do this, either get a slider for it, or drag the forehead slider both vertically and horizontally, then adjust the eyes, nose and mouth to the now larger face)
• Scale up the size of the eyes
• Add more fat to the cheeks

The problem with changing Teens height is the game designed them to use adult sized animations so they might look odd when they try cooking or doing other game things.

Any WW Sex will also be out of alignment unless you enable the height slider switch in WW settings so it will resize them for sex.

that's why my only wish fot The Sims 5 is, that they add a height system  at least like have 3 height options for the sims (like short, middle and tall)
I know, this will be a pain in the ass for modders and animators, but at this point I don't care *LOL*

It's not likely because EA would need to have animations made for every size available.

Cost is far too great as the EA top brass don't want to spend that kind of money in development because it's all about profit these days.

Plus they know all about the Mods like WW, DD, and Others so they don't want to enable modders to easily add Sex Mods for smaller non-adult Sims.

I'd expect Sims sizes will be the same as Sims 4.

Wouldn't it be possible to somehow dynamically adjust the animations based on the height difference? As long as they are somewhat within the same range.

Actually, keeping teens the same height as adults makes it easier to make adult-teen sex mods. But you're right. Sims 3 had shorter teens and required separate animations for everything that teens did. So when they made Sims 4 they decided to make teens the same height to cut work (ie. costs). Unless EA is going to suddenly decide it wants to make quality games again, Sims 5 won't be any different.

make your sims chin rounder and less pronounced, they will have younger look.

The game can already do this to a certain extent actually. If you're using a height slider try having sims shake hands, hug or just notice how they look each other in the eyes, all of these do actually manage to account for a size difference between the sim.

 

It's with somewhat more complicated animation couplings that don't mostly just involve the arms and hands or eyes that I'm pretty sure it gets more complicated and such a system would likely not look very good so you'd probably need handcrafted paired animations for varying height differences for kissing and some other animations like that.
