How To Play As A Cheerleader | The Sims 4 High School Years Guide

[@sosounheard]

I just wish we were able to have competition events separately from school with different activities.. like a competitive cheering event where you could enter your club (which would be your team) and another team of teen sims would spawn and you would do 2 routines each and whichever team has the highest average of the cheer skill would win and each member would get a trophy in their inventory 🤩 this could be remixed with basketball, skiing/snowboarding, football (but first they’d need to actually be able to play a game 🙄), etc!

[@paulbrown7369]

The tie-in with the club feature is brilliant! I'm getting more fun out of HSY as a result of your fantastic videos. Many thanks & keep them coming!

[@nikkilambert4175]

That’s why we LOVE Petey’s videos!

[@PeteyPlaysIt]

Awe shucks thank you for the kind comment Paul! And the kind reply Nikki! :D

i've been using clubs in get together with high school years, it really adds a lot. i made a music club for some of my friends that meet in the second floor of thriftea, which is a really good space to make over for a club

[@saipirunc.6261]

Winning the event (for cheerleeding, football, chess and computer) gives Sim an inspired moodlet. (A little disapointed. Lol) Also, I found out that a Sim in chess (and computer?) team can click at the computer under Highschool catagory in the weekday to "request for a science fair". Then the usual cheer or football event will turn into an event for chess or computer team. I try this one with a chess team Sim, the event has 3 chess desk with a single chair. Your sim can "solve hard puzzle" (or something similar) on the chess board and submit score to the judge. It work like a cheer or football event. (I guess the computer team is an event for submit programming score? I haven't tried that yet.) I also found out that we can submit score only once. If we try it again and get the score higher, the submitting score interaction will be disapeared. But we can try it multiple times until the score is high enough and submit the score. (Solving hard puzzle in chess event is faster than cheering or playing football) One more thing. The cheer and football team are rival. They can paint the spray (deface?) the other team's backdrop in the event. It will give sim a mischieve skill boost. An NPCs also do this by themselves. The chess and computer team are also rival. The sabotaging backdrop happens in science fair too. I think it would be nice if you make a "science fair" video for players who don't know this exist. I think it would be dope. 😊

[@PeteyPlaysIt]

Thanks so much for sharing those hot tips Saipirun :D... I can potentially look into a science fair video or something that highlights it in the future :)

[@dumbsheep1134]

Can you do being a football player in sims 4 next?

[@az25blue]

Yes all of the new after school activities! ❤

[@PeteyPlaysIt]

Ooh! I can't promise it'll be next but it is definitely on my list of things to do :)

[@reading1713]

This was awesome! Thank you for sharing all the tips. I really wish cheerleading was a separate skill since I feel like it’s almost a mix between dancing and fitness. I’m glad it’s a club activity though and that we can have sims actually do it in a club

[@PixelSlayer247]

If you're doing the club feature thing, I would imagine if you have Get Famous, the perk where you can have your own group of squadmates show up everywhere with you and literally cheer you on would be helpful as well for the roleplaying angle.

[@clarebo]

If we can have skiing and snowboarding as separate skills, we should have had a cheer skill. I think swimming should be it's own skill too!

[@fozzytheflyingmuppet]

Thanks for your guide video. Finally someone confirms adult Sims can do cheer leading too. You would think the dance skill is a more logical choice but that's locked behind the Get Together EP. IRL it would be a combination of fitness, dance, gymnastics, acrobatics that would help you with cheer leading. (And probably good social skills for team work). I'll probably include cheer in my Sim dance club. The club system is the best ting that happened to TS4. I'm looking forward to this, I hope the HSY pack is on sale in the autumn. It might be, considering there's probably a new pack by then.

[@Braulyoko]

Thanks for the tips! Before the EP was announced I formed a cheerleading group in one of my Save Files, that's why I bought it hehe I've been trying the pack on another save file for a while, but soon I'll work on my Cheerios! 🎉

[@cerenylmaz3497]

Im actually glad that they didnt add any extra skill. Cheerleading is directly tied to fitness afterall, no need to make things complicated imo. Great vid

[@Charlee1776]

Just binge watching to catch up on what I've missed while ill recently and I just have to say that I love how you always manage to spark my imagination and start my mind wandering down a path of how I could take your shared ideas and use them to season my own game up. Thanks for always being wonderfully creative!

[@PeteyPlaysIt]

Thank you for the super kind comment Charlee!! I really appreciate it :)

[@SamJones-qx9hz]

Thank you! These are some really fun ideas. It is a shame clubs aren't allowed on the Highschool lot - I understand it wouldn't work while school is active but they could have done it the same way build mode works. As soon as school is done you can modify the lot. I like the Highschool pack but it needs a lot of fine tuning.

[@PeteyPlaysIt]

Completely agree with everything you say Sam! :)

[@flavialeite3338]

ooh, i love this! once my cheerleader sim is an adult, maybe they can also be a cheer coach using the club idea

[@PeteyPlaysIt]

Ooh I love the cheer coach idea Flávia, that's so cool!

[@Hamless_Kiwi]

I love your videos you’re always so thorough and have cool ideas like making a club for cheerleading which makes everything so much more cohesive I’m definitely gonna try that

[@MsShabriaGxo]

Thank you for this idea ❤️. Can you do the computer team member next?

[@PeteyPlaysIt]

Shabria :). I can't promise it'll be next but I definitely plan to get around to doing the computer team at some stage :)

[@warzshadow9701]

That was an awesome video! Great tips! Loved it and subscribed! Also going to get your high school too.

[@WorldWeave]

If you haven’t already…can you do a video on fears? They kinda confuse me

[@PeteyPlaysIt]

I will defs look into this in the future. If I'm honest as they're so new they confuse me a bit too right now haha. I will have to investigate!

[@WorldWeave]

@@PeteyPlaysIt that’s fair…all I can tell is: sometimes your sim will become scared of something, occasionally giving them a negative moodlit, and you need to do certain things to get rid of the fear…I don’t know if they do anything more than that

[@darkcymruchannel5683]

a guide is needed on how to play sims from the basics. really needed so they dont get lost. like me. everytime I start a new file I get lost in the beginning

[@PlannerAlert]

YEAY YOU UPLOADED!

[@claralincoln2823]

Just fabulous! Thanks, Petey!

[@BrokenCouchEdits]

I use the Fashion Authority mod to keep my cheer team in uniform during school hours (as high school uniform setting not cheer leader setting) and i change each cheer memebers sport wear into the uniform i want.

[@bratbatos]

is it possible to set a different cheerleading uniform for every cheerleader as their default one? i havent been able to play yet so i couldnt find it myself :(

[@simonfauteux6158]

Thank you for this informative video! You always make my gameplay more interesting, 👍🏻😃

[@PeteyPlaysIt]

Thank you for the kind comment Simon! :D

[@gogirl709]

Great tips!

[@kaylaplaysthesims]

4:06 AYO THE CLUB DESCRIPTION HAS NO RIGHT BEING THAT BADASS

[@NadiaRamirez888]

Thank you so much ❤

[@Dimension137]

actually you can not as an adult because there's no high School option on the computer once you're Sim has aged up to young adult. and if you start off as an adult

[@BrokenCouchEdits]

When my cheer leaders finish a cheer leading event at school the game thinks its a Finchwood Fair and says i entered a pie. This bug occurs everytime. Does anyone else have this bug?

[@PeteyPlaysIt]

broken yes I have experienced a similar bug with notifications from the Fair! I think it's harmless though, but still it should be fixed.

[@jaehyun4ever]

is there a way to see which sims are in the same after-school activity as your sim?

[@notbree01]

you can't actually see them practice with other sims it just loads for me and then my sim is back home

[@lisamccall3258]

Great.

[@johnniewalker6356]

I created a cheerlead club but sims won’t perform when gathering. Did I need to do it manually?

[@Mitsu2040]

Awesome video 📹

[@Emylove._]

Thank you so so soooo muuuch ;D :D ;) :)

[@WorldWeave]

I mean…cheerleading being related to fitness KINDA makes sense, right?

[@naufalam7840]

Can cheerleading mat be used up to 8 sims?

[@Alonepistachio]

I think only the big one can

[@PeteyPlaysIt]

I think the big one can have 7 sims max from memory :)

[@KellyMcAllister626]

You know what doesn't make sense. That there's no cheerleaders or football teams at University there's both University cheering and University football in real life so why not also carry this over to college I think this would be a fun thing to do. Especially if it gives young adults more of a reason to be a cheerleader

[@anonymousboogie7151]

My athletic skill is really good but there's some sort of glitch and she always skips practice so she can't progress

[@AngelsDiamonds]

How do I create a club?

[@Life_Universe_Everything]

My high school cheer squad was boring, though I’m Canadian, I hear American Cheerleaders are brutal.

[@barbiquearea]

First lightsaber dueling became synonymous with the fitness skill (instead of being its own special skill) and now the devs have decided to the same with cheer-leading. The Sims gurus are really becoming even lazier than before.

[@Loralanthalas]

Super sad there isn't more to cheerleader

[@kerriesherrard]

Not happy; I was SUPPOSED to get a mat to practice at home but didn’t get one…..

[@Sherone86]

I know I’m replying late, but did you look in your household inventory

[@DariaSachsen]

Geez, your teen sim named just like me, i've thought it's not popular name in western countries

[@sweetteacupLoLo]

Very informative, show some love at Tatumn's world

[@AlyssaSharm]

Where is cheerleading in the Get Together club menu? I tried to find it but didn’t see it

[@PeteyPlaysIt]

I can't remember exactly Alyssa but from memory I think it was in the hobbies section :). I might be wrong, apologies if I am.

[@lynn8033]

This pack lacks so much depth. It’s so sad.

[@holy9781]

U just think it sucks that its just a rabbit hole instead of going to school to practice with sims.sucks

[@simssaves4980]

Wow this feature is even worse than I thought it would be! No cheer skill? That is such a bummer Is football the same? Is it *worse?*

[@Robbie-pc1dl]

I think i am first

[@ChestersonJack]

You are! Congrats.
