Sorry I may sound rude here, but you wanting a child to look curvy is a bit unrealistic to me. I can see a child being or getting fat as the game have it but "Not Curvy" And if truth be told yes you do make yourself look like what you said in your very own post above a pervert.

I do not care if anyone Agree or not Agree that is your call. But sometime people need to heard the honest truth. A child ( girl ) being Curvy what will be next ?

Kind of like pregnancy pops. Girls would get curvier, boys would maybe get more muscular or something.

In theory, it'd be easy to add the necessary morphs to teen meshes, I think. I've gotten pretty good at adding pregnancy morphs to adult and teen meshes, myself. The snag would be programming the transition, which I have NO idea how to do, if it could be done at all. Maybe some programming could be hijacked from the programming that governs pregnancy pops, which is based on tokens, I believe, but I don't know. But it'd be cool! And maybe something similar could be done to make adult bodies look a little more middle-aged at some point in the adult life stage, too.

The reason why I don't use Warlok's shapes - besides the fact that only the females are "shaped". Nothing half-way like this has ever appealed to me. Not to mention the reasons why it is half-way like that.

If clothes can be made to fit without actual re-meshing, this would not be as impractical, though. Those that made clothing would know - is it possible to use the same meshes for say a tween and a teen?

Ok, I think you've gone too far with the 'GIVE THEM BIG BOOBED CLOTHES'. If that actually happened, I think all preteens would look like tortured children forced to participate in a beauty contest, with breast jobs. No, a preteen is still considered to be a child, but their body becomes somewhat more defined, males become a bit more muscular with some change in voice, females a bit more curvier with a change in voice too, but not to the extent of 'bodybuilders' or 'supermodels'.

IRL, this when usually the menstrual cycle form females start, and where males get an increase in their sex-drive (if that's what its called). Of curse, we can't have those in the game (unless with mods\) due to the fact it is a sensitive subject. Bear in mind that little children also play this game and I am sure their parents would not want them to learn about these things at such an early age.

Do they still act like children in-game? The thought of a child-teen trying to make out with an adult is really crossing the line for me. Or am I mistaken?
