Anna National passes through her Child stage without much incident, even despite the birth of her sister Vivian. She goes to school every day but rarely does homework, instead focusing most of her off-time working on her creativity. It seems like only the blink of an eye, and Anna throws herself a birthday party as she ages up to her teenage years. We also get to choose a second Trait and her life's actual Aspiration.

Teenagers in The Sims 4 have a lot of freedom. They gain some special social commands that won't last into adulthood, but otherwise they are more or less like adults. Any Child Skills they possessed are lost, but their equivalent adult skills will gain a boost. For example, because Anna focused on her Creativity child skill, she will gain all creative Skills such as painting and music faster. She can finally start to use that easel in her bedroom!
This is where the difference between Generation 1 and Generation 2 Sims really starts to come into play. When we were Getting Started with Christine National, we had to endure the fact that she had zero Skills of any type. We saw her cook her first meal and fix her first appliance as a young adult. For Anna, she'll already have some practice before the skills are absolutely necessary. She can practice cooking, handiness, and other skills that will be essential once (or if) she moves out. Plus, she can slowly start to chip away at her Aspiration, a luxury that Christine did not entirely have time for.
The cosmetic options for Anna grow as well now that she's an adult. She can choose from the full range of clothing, unlike children. Unlike in previous versions of the franchise, whatever clothes Anna uses as a teenager will be the same outfits she'll have as an adult.
More detailed phenotypes also come into play as a teenager. As a Baby, Anna's face was pretty set. As a Child, Anna's face was altered based on the genes of her parents, but she always had the same body type. Now as a teenager, Anna's body even changes based on her parents' shapes. Anna inherits the wider hips and rounder buttocks that we gave Christine during Create a Sim, while still inheriting a few features from Freddie as well.
Some randomization is at play, just like real-life genetics. Vivian for example lacks the high cheekbones that Christine has, in general having facial features that more match Freddie. If you play many generations, you'll start to see more and more variety as additional and different genes are introduced into a family line.
School and Work[edit]
School is identical for teenagers as it is for Children, even down to the times they have to arrive. Homework is still important if you're favoring mental skills, but it's a little less important if you have a specific plan in mind. For Anna, she doesn't exactly need her homework to be a successful professional artist. She shows up to school every day, but homework is ignored.
However, she doesn't want to be a recluse whose only friend is her easel. Anna uses her telephone, and she can select the “Find a Job” option. A pop-up box appears, and she can select one of five part-time jobs.
All part-time jobs for teenagers pay exceptionally well per hour, beating out most of the jobs for adults. However, teenagers only work on weekends, and even then they only work a few hours per day. Their income will be decent, but certainly not enough to pay the bills. Christine and Freddie still need to carry the load.

If Anna takes a job, she'll be subject to the same limitations as adult jobs. She'll need to show up to work each day on time, preferably with a certain Emotion. She'll have daily tasks to perform and specific tasks to be promoted. You can view daily tasks and the preferred emotion by mousing over her job performance meter in the Career Panel. Through it all, she needs to maintain a decent grade point average at school.
If that sounds like too much work, don't worry: teenagers are not required to take jobs. Adults aren't either, but hopefully there is some income coming into the house from some source. In the Nationals' case, Christine and Freddie are earning about §2000 per day combined when they go to work, so they're doing pretty well. Anna declines work, and instead focuses on her art.
Anna also declines relationships, which have also been simplified for The Sims 4 for better or worse. Anna does go out to the night club once to meet some people, but has chosen not to engage in any romance however this does not mean teenagers cannot engage in romantic interactions. Teenagers can perform romantic interactions such as kiss or mess around. They can even take it as far as to promise themselves to each other or become a couple. THIS DOES NOT APPLY FOR AN ADULT AND TEEN!
In fact, being a teenager in The Sims 4 could be considered a little lonely. There are no parties or proms, and just as when Anna was a Child, she never comes home with any friends. If there are no other teenagers in the game's Worlds, there will simply never be any other teenagers for her to converse with. She can make friends with adults, but it can go no further. Her first kiss will not happen until at least young adulthood.

In summary, being a teenager is quite literally the transitional period from Childhood to adulthood. Anna will be able to improve her skills and start some relationships, as well as get a taste of work, without some of the hassles that go along with being an adult. It's best to use your Sims' teenager years to start in on a direction for the rest of their lives, working on the necessary and important skills toward their Aspirations.

You like EXO & BAP too?! This is very helpful. I hate having to click through all the presets and then further tweaking but this guide will help me out a whole lot. I've been planning to make Chanyeol for a few days now but haven't gotten to him yet.

And these eyes are meant to look asian because they are 'narrower' ?. Google Asian Face and you'll see that asian eyes are not just slits.

edited September 2014And these eyes are meant to look asian because they are 'narrower' ?. Google Asian Face and you'll see that asian eyes are not just slits.
I meant no offense. I know that there is a very large variety of eyes in Asia (since I live here) but I think most people think of single eyelid when they imagine an 'asian eye' which is very narrow so that's what I was trying to show.
*edit*
Also, I made this chart while making my Kim Sung Kyu sim who is notorious for his VERY narrow eyes. While trying the presets I noticed not many of them allowed you to go very narrow at all. Obviously if someone wanted to make an Asian sim with double eyelid they wouldn't need a tutorial at all since the game is default set for it. -
I've found making asian eyes are a lot easier with Sims 4, but it does take a lot of tweaking. I've had much better success getting close to what my favorite Morning Musume girls eyes look like, but of course it's still not perfect. You can check them out with the #momusu hashtag. The hashtag system is nice, I can easily find the category I'm interested in if the people remembered to add it to their sim.
One thing I don't like is the asian styled skin color. It's way too yellowish and doesn't look natural to me.
