How to make teens look more like teens in Sims 4
Dress them young
Make sure to dress teenage Sims young. Select bright colors, layered tops, and short skirts. Add leggings and tights into the combo.
Layers work great if you want to create teenage-specific outfits. Teenage outfits are trendy and colorful but less revealing than those of young adults.
By the way, you can also create school uniforms for your teens using a classic blazer and pair of pants of the same color.
Use braids and pigtails to create fresh and youthful hairstyles. You can also use funky hair colors to match your teenage Sim’s personality.
Create youthful faces
Teenage Sims usually have slightly chubbier faces than young adults. Additionally, they have less pronounced cheekbones and jaw lines and large eyes and foreheads.
Ticker eyebrows convey youthfulness. Narrow nose bridges also give a youthful look.
Long story short, give your teenage Sims smaller faces and bigger features.
If your teenage Sim is wearing makeup, make sure it’s not that polished. Feel free to use bright colors.
Most teenagers get acne at some point. Add tiny acne spots to make your Sim look more like a teenager. Don’t forget to add braces too!
You can also add facial hair. If you have the High School Years expansion pack installed, you can also enable body hair growth.
Use slimmer body frames
Sims with slim bodies tend to look younger. Teens typically have narrower shoulders and hips. Reduce breast size and use less muscle to obtain a teenage-looking body.
You can use curvy body shapes when they become young adults.
Use a height mod
You can use a height mod to make teenage Sims a tad shorter than adults. The only downside is that you’ll need to manually adjust their height when they age up into young adults.
