Thank you so much for this! Now I can finally have some height difference between the child stage and the YA adult stage :)

Yes. Unless new life states or alterations to how CAS generates Teens are added to the game then this file should rarely need updating.

None that I know of and nobody has reported any issues. This isn't a slider so it shouldn't conflict with height sliders and should be possible to use both types of mod at the same time.

I played only a few days ago and had a Child alien age up to a Teen and both her alien form and disguised form changed to the shorter height correctly.

Could people who are reporting issues with this mod please be more specific? I can't find anything wrong with it in my own game. Children are still aging up into shorter Teens for me and ones created in CAS are also shorter by default. Have you tried with just this mod in your folder to rule out a conflict? Is it just specific occult types or all Sims? I need more detail to try and track this down or else I don't know what I should be looking at. Thanks.

Thanks for your reply.

I rely heavily on mods to make the Sims playable. I have MC Command, Wicked Whims and Sice of Life installed. I have noticed that some of my adults are still the height of teens when the mod worked, maybe if I manually 'grow' them up, it might fix itself ????‍♀️

Really love this mod! Great work ????

If you find Sims aren't altering to the correct height when they age up then you should be able to fix this simply by taking them into CAS with cas.fulleditmode enabled and changing their frame or gender and then switching back.
I tried in my game again today with a test family of two kids and a few teens made in CAS with varying occult types. I used a cake to age them all up. The kids all became storter Teens and the Teens all became normal height Adults.
The only scenario I have never tested in my own game because of the way I play is what happens when a Sim ages up in an inactive household. As it uses the same tuning files for Sim aging that the game already uses though it should still get applied.
I at least know that MCCC isn't an issue as I play with that in my own game as well.

No problem at all with this mod. I have now a household with 80 sims that was born and grow up on this lot.
Just saying.

Looks really cool, will try it out. But if I would like my teens to be slightly shorter than this, is it possible to modify it a little bit more some how?

I realise there is a lot to read on the main post so you may not have seen it, but the last .zip is a folder containing instructions on how to edit this yourself if you find the Teens are still too tall.

Hi, love this mod but I'd like them to be a little shorter. I read the instructions file and am I understanding correctly that if I'm using the 'shortest' file I can't adjust it any smaller?

Sadly that is correct. The way this mod works is that it automatically applies a modifier to a certain percentage for the Teen age group. The shortest version available already has this set to 100% so can't can't go further.

Hey thanks so much for this mod; I love it and use it in all of my games. I have a random semi-related question that I'm curious if you could answer. Do you think it would it be possible to have masculine and feminine frames for the same age group be different heights? Or are they reliant on the same values? More of an idle curiosity thing than a mod request/feedback, but just thought I'd ask, since you seem to have a solid grasp on how this part of the game works.

My grasp probably isn''t as secure as it may seem.
With regards to your question though, the different genders used to have seperate settings when the game first released but the way the game works now it just has one set of settings for each age group (and occult type) and so there is no way to apply it to just one of them.
It might be possible if a modifier was created that only affected one gender but I'm not certain.
It would also mean that the mod would conflict with this one as the same file would need to be overridden by both mods.
I have too many unfinished mods as it is currently anyway so there is no chance at present that I would be able to look anyway.
You're more than welcome to take a look for yourself if you like and understand what you're looking at/for.

Without a proper description of how it is supposed to have broken I will have no way of checking unless the issue appears in my own game and I'm still in the process of updating so can't check yet.

Hi there, just noting that my YA sim is still short. I forgot about his birthday so he aged on his own, but I'm hoping other inactive sims aren't doing the same!
