High School | The Sims 4 High School Years Speed Build

[@lorrainethomas8797]

EA, please hire this woman!!!! This is is what it looks and sounds like when someone actually thinks about gameplay! You're amazing, Jess!

This is definitely like an elite private high school. It’s amazing. Most of us have plain brick buildings with ugly tile floors surrounded by concrete for high schools. Honestly not a pretty thing to look at. This looks like a dream school so awesome. Love all the detail

[@director_mcardle]

I go to a school that's existed since around since 1501, the building isn't that old because the school 'community' or whatever its called has moved around a bit and used to be a grammar school which had two buildings, one for boys and one for girls. My school has a lot of history you can read on it here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wade_Deacon_High_School because there is now way I can cover it all in this or get it as accurate.

[@stevie8718]

I love how all of your builds have a british flair. Refreshing in a mass of US Simmers. You are by far the best builder I have seen - the detail, creativity and genius. I hope the Sims team reach out to you at some point to build new homes for upcoming games.

[@Jessicapie]

Thank you so much!

[@jojo_uwu3742]

I've been watching Sims speed builds for years and I've never been so fascinated by the building, how it comes together, and how it looks! You'd be brilliant on the EA team.

[@Jessicapie]

🥹 thank you! 🤍

[@AntaresSelket]

Beautiful school. I love the classroom layouts and how each one is clearly set up like real classrooms. The sports areas outside and inside are well done, and I love how you remembered to put the picture of the mascot everywhere. A really outstanding build.

[@Jessicapie]

🥰 thank you so much!!

[@drippedinlit]

What’s I love most is there’s so many opportunities for storytelling! I can already see my cliquey sims having a field day here! I would hands down use this for a private school let’s play.

[@Elise_Ann]

For anyone curious, let me clear it up 9:08... Jess wondered about the difference between Rugby and American Football, so here it is... Rugby is played with no helmets and less padding but has (for the most part) the same rules and the same goal... Us Texans call Rugby the dangerous Football just for the lack of safety equipment... Yea that's basically it... Love you Jess!!

[@Elise_Ann]

I also just learned that a big difference is the size of the teams... On an average American Football team there are 11 players, while Rugby has 15 players... The goal of the games is very similar, but the rules are very different... The ball is slightly different between the games... Thats all I know, Hope it helps!!

[@-dustychinchilla]

i love this- but the lack of sinks in the art room is giving me vivid flashbacks of all the crunchy paintbrushes abandoned at my school😭😭

[@cawe21doesmc]

I love how different our cultures are! I went to a small high school in the US, and I didn't know a single person who rode a bike to school haha, everyone drove, or rode the bus, But in America you can also get your license at 16. :)

[@retroelf]

Wow, so good! It absolutely looks like a high school movie set; I would have loved if my school actually looked like this! My American high school was over 70 years old and was literally just a brick rectangle with a gym attached haha. I'm also a little disappointed that band equipment wasn't added with the pack! I was in marching band in high school, as were all of my friends (typical band geeks). It would have been so cool to get a bunch of instruments and band uniforms!

[@lala_landed]

i have been binge watching highschool builds like crazy ever since the release of this pack, especially after seeing the horrendous monstrosity EA had the audacity to claim as the high school for the pack, and i have to say. THIS IS THE BEST ONE I’VE SEEN !! so much thought, so many beautiful details !!! i love this so much !!

[@Jessicapie]

🥹🥹 thank you that means so much considering that there are so many amazing school builds out there 🥹🫶🏼

[@katchibediako7036]

I downloaded this build and was not at all disappointed, but I had to declutter it. I used to work in a school, and there's no way there would be so many trip hazards everywhere. Plus, students like to touch and take stuff, so... yeah, i had to declutter it. Plus, if maintenance is doing his job, there would only be small amounts of graffiti. And it would be real discreet. (Think East Side High after Joe Clark.) I really didn't change much... I made the lockers one color, I moved the trophy cases into the entrance so that visitors could be impressed and added a fitness area. Other than that and decluttering it, it still looks like the original. Which is brilliant. (Oh, and i used a deco sim for the receptionist, so to see it you have to enable cc) And you nailed the teacher's lounge: it's not about what's in there, it's about what they're saying in there. 😉 Thanks for the build and upload. 😘👌🏾mwah (I kept your hashtags in the description)

[@shonnamuffick9864]

Love this! To get around the principals desk thing I would slot the computer and chair to it and see if you can size the desk down and then use whatever desk you want!

[@Jessicapie]

Omg yes! Great idea 🥰

[@torigutierrez6417]

Can I just say, this is my favorite build I have ever seen in the sims 4. Like holy crap, you outdid yourself! The detail, it feels like my high school that I went to!! Also.. what day is your birthday? Im a July baby too!

[@Jessicapie]

[@DrengrJeep]

The word "Soccer" was originally used by the English, over 200 years ago, for what you now call football. Americans call it soccer because the English told us that is what the sport was called lol. We changed the English Rugby to our version of what we call American Football (Ball and field size vary with Canadian, Australian and European rule sets), then the English changed the name soccer to football. Another fantastic build! I love the bleachers, kissing under the bleachers is a rite of passage.

I honestly love your builds Jess. From other builders I watch they’re so lazy and basic compared to yours, you make it look realistic, the cluttter, the attention to detail, the story line. I always compare your builds to others what I’m going to download and it’s always you😂❤

I know apologies for a literal hour 😅 but I don’t like cutting too much out 🥹🤍

[@leonlacroix2638]

Also a small tip I just started doing. Go around and enable things that gives emotional aura. There's been countless builds that have visually been amazing but the sim hates it. I typically forget to enable them and just went to playing the build. Now my sim is pretty much overloaded with positive emotions at all times.

in my primary school the staff room was giant, it has a kitchen on the left just as you go in with some tables and chairs, and then on the right it had a big smartboard with loads of comfortable like regular chairs facing it, like the chairs you would have in your living room. I only got to go in there once when there where people from the Highschool i was going to came to tell us about it and it was actually quite comfortable. the teachers however where not secretive going in or out. This was in the upper school because my primary had two buildings, one for the lower school - reception ( basicallly year 0 ) up to year 2) and the the upper school - year 3 up to year 6.
