Any Word On Height?

[deskp]

-changing heigths could mess up animations, maybe, lol,,,    i  dont need it, the code in sims 2 was ok.

I was wondering about this also. I would love to have a short family or a tall family. Or maybe one parent of both and the child ends up being average height. I think that having differing heights would add to  the game very much. It makes each sim that much more unique to its player.

I would like the varrying heights, but it does seem highly impractical, with the differing animations etc.

I don't really mind them being of all the same height. Being a very average heigt myself I've never really noticed the difference

I wouldn't really mind them being the same height but I think it would perhaps be a good change if say, the men were taller than the women ... as it normally is in reality

i agree height would be GREAT

AWESOME

i hope so!

It would be pretty amazing to see.

I understand. It's like that Stretch Skeleton cheat for The Sims 2. The person's arms, when preparing a meal, were not near the food.

I would be great if there was a height option, even though it would be difficult to make.

Height is the most thing I'm worried about I do not want the same heighted sims! That would be uncreative D:

Yeah I know, all Sims being the same height gets really boring.  I would love to see an offspring of a very tall sim and a very short sim, I am sure the offspring would be quite hilarious looking.

From what I can see they all look the same height, but I’m sure that will change.

I think it would be cool to have heights but the more i read, the more i doubt it will happen. Espically if the game is to be realeased on time..
