No Romance Options for Teens?
I made a household with 2 teens and selected roommates. I wanted them to be a couplem but there seems to not be any kind of romance options, I´ve only been able to declare them BFF.

Is romance only available for adults?

EDIT: I am SHOCKED how many disgusting replies are found under this post. My girlfriend and I are both Teens, in a relationship and wanted to recreate us and our relationship in Inzoi.. Teens are also 18-19 Year old people. You guys are making this weird. I have not talkeda bout anything sexual, this is all on you. All I am asking for is a system close to Sims 4, high school crushes, dating, prom date etc.

I do not know what to say anymore, because we running in circle. The devs would have to decide and I can only tell why they have decided that way. If you want these kind of interaction, the devs have to be adressed with. Else there will be sure mods for.

I agree it's up to the Devs and I've raised feedback on their Discord (along with many others). I doubt if it'll change, however that doesn't mean I won't raise my feedback.

The game feels very sanitized - no children outside of marriage, no LGBT characters unless you made them, no teenagers dating (also no gay teenagers, you can't even set that up in creator). I wonder what sort of audience they are actually trying to reach.

As said before: The fact that underage do things in life and to display it to adults in media are two different things. The point why developers do not include it in games is to prohibit adults see underage doing this kind of stuff in their product.

🙃 so it’s not a simulation anymore… LOL
18/19 is still teen. lmao
This topic doesn’t make sense.
TS4 is a sim game and it simulates lives of every age groups. No one talked about se*uality.
And it’s stupid to say this like Shameless and Skins are like p*** materials.
It’s life, and this is a life simulation

I got dumber from reading this thread and none of it has anything to do with OP. I can see inZOI summoned a whole different kind of gamer because this certainly isn't the typical wholesome life sim community.

I wish we had some light romance options for teens too, OP. I like the way they handle it in the Sims games (WITHOUT MODS) and would like that kinda brought over here. I love to do rags to riches (can't do that, start off too rich) and growing pang playthroughs and part of growing up involves crushes, first loves, dates, first break ups, etc and a lot of that starts in the teen era of a persons life.

Funny thing, i have tried to suggest a more safe way to have teenagers in relationships but those have gone on largely ignored. I'm not looking for actual sexual contact between teenagers even in the real world such a thing exists. i'm suggesting that making out on the bed between teenagers in their underwear is as far as it goes until they age up, that way it allows teenagers to get some kind of release when they get interested in romantic encounters.

actual sexual encounters can come from mods that are unrelated to what the developers can do for teenagers in this game.

You could display the most weird stuff, which is possible in life, but should not be displayed. Just because something is possible in life, does not mean it should be possible in media.

What sort of stuff? Holding hands? I didn't mention anything about having sex, just about dating. The same way it's done it The Sims even since The Sims 2. It just feels lacking. Romance is a natural part of life for many people and I fail to see why teenangers can't have girlfriends/boyfriends in this game.

It´s interesting how the people that are against romance for teens keep going at sex. Where do they get that from? We have never askeda bout sex, just romance.

Right? That's surprising, I didn't mention it at all in my reply. We have plenty PG-13 TV shows where teenagers are falling in love with one another. Half of Disney Channel was made of that stuff. How is that creepy or weird to display?

I would assume this might be a cultural thing? People who only ever got home schooled probably never had any teenage high school romance experiences at all and it really started with university for them. And people growing up in more conservative/religious families probably also had a very limited dating experience before marrying. I'm German and grew up in a metropolis so my teen experience was definitely very different from an North-American or Korean teen, especially if they grew up in smaller towns. I deffo was a WILD teenage girl and did things I'd not dare to tell my own teenage kid about now (who is...wait for it: nineTEEN) because they are such a bad example.... ^^;

Why everyone is so fixated on telling you off about being bad for wanting sex though? I.. don't get it. Not once did you mention you want sexual interaction between teenagers in the game. People are just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ weird.

I've been holding off on inZOI for now because the game looked very sterile in all the previews and compared to Sims 4 after 10 years of support and with the 20 add ons I already own it just seems very lifeless and empty for now. No teen romance is one more reason to hold off as I love to play one character from birth to old age and teenage romance was a huge part of my teen experience which I would like to have in the game.

They ignore decades of teen romance in The Sims, but lose their minds over a simple question.

And yes, you can create families of orphaned teens—but guess what? They can only get jobs as young adults. So how exactly are these poor souls supposed to survive? Starving with no option to work is totally fine, but dating? Oh my God, that’s where we draw the line!

And the best part? None of those self-righteous keyboard judges, those guardians of morality, those twitter crusaders, are making a peep about that. How convenient!

But oh no, if you dare ask why teens can’t have romantic relationships in the game, you’re automatically a degenerate. Congrats, you’ve just earned the "Worst Human Being on Earth" award!

Welcome to the 21st century, where logic is dead, hypocrisy thrives, and everyone loves a good witch hunt. :steamthumbsup:

Why would it be a problem to have teen romance? Streaming services and TV are FULL of teenage romance series, it's full of teenage romance books (that teens read) , the sims 4 has teen romance, WHAT ARE YOU SUDDENLY TALKING ABOUT?

Sims 2 too. Even part of a scripted (but broken) story event.

There is no teen romance in sims. without modification.

There is going places and meet ups.

FALSE , In the sims teens can date , kiss , have g/friend or b/friend make out under the covers in bed all without mods .
For me personally i think they should at least be able to date and kiss / cuddle

People talking about teenagers their age group is 13 to 19 it is in the word , thir-teen , four-teen etc up to nine-teen
