Revisiting an old topic, but (and I'm thinking in G2F terms, but applies to G3F I figure)...
Belle is a young teen
Josie is an older teen....
Who comes next? Victoria?

You've accidentally skipped over Skyler and Rayn. And Hayley. And the creepy baby.
So what's the full order? :D
So... basically... we're to guess at the ages of all couple of hundred Daz characters?
Going to be a long thread. Or a very short one.
Just talking about G2F, and only mentioning official DAZ base characters, then the first three are easy, from youngest to eldest, it is Belle, Josie and Stephanie. Arguably they would be followed by the stylized characters, Keiko, Ysabeau, Callie and Giselle, as they look like teens, even if they are portraying some super-heroine, or maybe a 1000 year old elf woman.
The rest are pretty much all young women that could be anywhere from 21-35, and it is difficult to put them in age order, as people will differ in opinion to this, Olympia and Lilth might be considered a bit older, but that is far from certain.
There are no DAZ base characters for older females (or males).
Going to have to disagree on Stephanie; just because she's not as full figured as Victoria or any of the others adult characters doesn't mean she's a teenager, unless someone from DAZ (like the person that created the model) can state that she was intended to be a teen.
I'm pretty sure all of the Stephanies are intended to be adults. S6 certainly looks adult to me (and the Pro Bundle includes the Anatomical Elements which it wouldn't for a non-adult character).
I think that traditionally Stephanie 3 was supposed to be college age. Steph 4 certainly appeared to be so. After that she seemed more a type than an age.
Maybe I haven't gotten the hang of it, but I've found the aging software while it works well for male characters doesn't really do a completely thourough job when trying to de-age some of the female characters. They tend to be so "well-endowed" that past a certain age they just doesn't appear like young people, or kids anymore rather than "Little people". Some characters do well, others don't.
If you want to age a female character, you might consider using the Natural Gravity Morphs to give the "endowment" a bit of sag. (Or, in some cases, maybe more than a bit.)
Because, as we age, time and gravity do take their toll....
Instead of using the full body of a specific purchased female (like Victoria 7), try using the base Genesis 3 Female with the Victoria head morph applied. That will result in a much more natural Teen/Tween than trying to use the character specific body will, since the Growing Up morphs are based on the default Genesis 3 bases.
Well, traditionally Stephanie was sometimes called the "younger sister" of Victoria, which I subscribe to as well. Not necessarily something as young as a teen, but definitely something younger than younger than Vicky. Though, Stephanie 4 was often used for teens were there wasn't a Laura 4.
Oh, yeah. That makes sense. I de-aged Mei Lin 6 last summer, and she turned out pretty good. But I can see her chest might have been better if I'd used the base figure for the body. And I can see how it would be better for the boys, too, when using a figure/character with bulky muscle mass, like Gianni 6 or even Kimo 7. Thanks for the tip.
