Ah the Sims, the only world where the Criminal Career is encouraged to youth. I absolutely love it.

[@SkyWidows]

Criminal?! That's a very harmful stereotype, he's a waste management consultant.

[@markotsunami1046]

It’s laso funny that up until now, every career day I’ve had, had a criminal promoting that career XD

[@iremhatipoglu9536]

Yeah they can be a crime boss but not thieves cause thieves are scary and gives people anxiety

[@gangshi1251]

@@SkyWidowsthis is the funniest reply ever idk why no one is noticing this

[@SkyWidows]

@@gangshi1251 thank you! Maybe there's not a lot of crossover between the sims and sopranos.

[@stfu_grimmi]

Is it just me or is the prom too short? I never have time for my sim to do anything romantic with their partner unless i ignore the prom objectives. It just seems too short and my Sim ends up doing anything for a few seconds.

[@Camisola_]

I think theres a mod for that

[@feliciasantiago4345]

I agree we need enough people to complain to the gurus so they can fix it 😅

[@blazebardgames5939]

I've been working on rebuilding the Auditorium, and I added the Party Place Lot Trait that's supposed to make it easier to complete event goals. I still have to playtest Prom using this build, so I don't know for sure if this will work, but I'm hoping that having that Lot Trait will make it easier to complete Prom objectives so that Simmers can have more time to do their own thing and craft their own Prom stories.

[@krwrie]

I wish Jasper Prescott was an actual npc. I always love how there are lore-based ghost npcs from certain packs. Similarly to the ghost couple in Windenburg, the ghost dog found in the pet graveyard, and also Felix Psyded in Discover University. But I guess the sims team just really rushed this pack

[@nobbyfirefly57]

I feel that they missed an opportunity with the Mill in Moonwood Mill. It’s mentioned quite a bunch, yet you can‘t even explore it, it’s just a prop. Oh and THERES ONLY 4 LOTS!!!! WITH ONLY 2 YOU CAN USE UNLESS YOU REPLACE THE OTHER TWO!!! While the previous games had way more lots in just one world. Heck, Newcrest has way more lots. Plus, SO MANY PROP HOUSES THAT COULD’VE BEEN LOTS!!

[@SigmaRho2922]

I even made Mei Prescott have a son named Michael Jasper…

[@cheeriozombie]

I can attest that the custodians don’t give any whoop about fire drills; they are the ones that usually have to turn them on/off

[@rebeckylee157]

As a school custodian, I can confirm this. It’s our jobs to call the alarm companies during fire drills and put the school on test, then unlock one of the pull down stations with a key and set off the alarm switch. We also have to go to a master control panel box somewhere in the school and turn them off again.

[@cheeriozombie]

@@rebeckylee157 my mama is also a school custodian ♥️ thanks for all you do! She and I know that work goes highly unrecognized 👏

[@arandomperson920]

in my primary school we were literally alowed to ring the school bell

[@saipirunc.6261]

Nice video! I’d love to add a few things. 1.The career day happens every other Thursday. 2.In the career day, if you play another household and have an adult who is high in their career, they could show up at the career day. It’s a cute surprise. 3.Sims that witness fight in school can post it in their Social Bunny. But if your sim is the one who is in the fight, they would not have the option to post. (A bug, I guess) 4.Sims in chess and computer team can “request a science fair” by the phone or computer. It will replace a football day or cheerleading day and will have a little contest for Sims to submit their score. 5.I found a bug. If more than 1 teenage Sims go to school and one of them skip class or not doing the daily task, they all will have the same school day result. I had twins in the game. One of them is a prankster, never do homework, never study for exam and always skip class. But he always ace in exam and have A grade all the time??? Anybody have this bug? Thanks.

[@princess_chrlie]

I don’t have that bug… weird bc I also have twins. I hope this bug fixes for you. Happy new year

[@zeakary]

I discovered the third idea yesterday, I was playing some rotational gameplay and the youngest found their older brother presenting the athlete career, I was ecstatic lol

[@greenliongirl07]

Number 5 is less of a bug and more of a weird real life thing. Literally had a person who did that in my History class. He never studied, never did the homework except for when we had homework time, and he was hardly ever in class. Always 100 on tests. He had to go to summer to makeup for the class time he missed-- he basically came in to take a 4 hour nap.

[@aymesc9431]

I had this happen. My straight A twin got expelled and my prankster twin is getting straight A’s?? expelled after 2 sim days, didn’t know it could happen so quickly

[@jambon2730]

Omg same, I wanted to have one brilliant kid and another failing one but they both ended successeding without even their homeworks ! So I just made my failure sibling to be fired by doing pranks

[@Leto85]

I've read that graduating earlier isn't as beneficial as having a graduation seremonie, because graduating normally gives a stronger trait related to career boosts later on.

[@barbiquearea]

I really wish they updated the after school activities from the other packs like scouts and drama club from Seasons or soccer player from Discovering University. They could have even made them interactive like they have with the new ones.

[@TheSimsTutorialsEg]

Just one thing. Summoning the Urban Myth thing can be done at level 8 in Mischief skill instead. In addition, the death by stink capsule isn't random: if it backfires, it gives the special moodlet that will cause death the next time. Looking into tuning files I saw something about making those new ghosts (both of them) disable pranks. I still haven't seen in-game what it means...

[@TheSimsTutorialsEg]

Oh, one more thing. The new pranks (stink capsules, messing with school PA system, summoning the urban myth etc) are exclusive to teens. However, should a teen reach level 10 in Mischief skill, they'll get a special trait called "Authentic Prankster", which allows them to continue doing these pranks after they grow up.

[@onlyabidoang]

@@TheSimsTutorialsEg Ah you're right. Thanks for the corrections! And as for the ghost ability, I did saw the interaction for them to disable pranks called "Defuse Pranks" on a pranked toilet but it's somewhat broken. When I tested it, the ghost will possess the object with a bit of an animation bug where they "sink" to the floor in the process, but after possessing the object, it will still be armed with the prank.

[@TheSimsTutorialsEg]

@@onlyabidoang Ooh, that's interesting. Too bad it's broken though... There's also that trait called death_urbanmyth, which is different than the one for the death (which has EP in it). It is interesting why is it there and what is its purpose... Or is it another unused thing like pets being flower pals in My Wedding Stories...

[@mrsneeze903]

i don't have the pack but another thing i've heard is vampires can't die from the mirror prank (again don't have the pack something i've heard but also never seen confirmed)

[@northernnightmare7986]

The sim dancing in front of the ghost shack got me good.

[@DetectiveNyx]

"If you're a high school dropout you can't attend university" me, a high school drop out who did a bachelor's degree: skill issue

[@andreamyob9458]

I've found that I can create a reasonably good look from the thrift shop, sell it for tens of thousands of simoleons and usually sell it within a day or two. I'm doing a legacy challenge and all the original sims are long dead. Bob Pancakes bought my goth party outfit for 95k though. Never even checked the hype or promoted it.

[@rrq4580]

I love these videos, I feel like I can't play a pack without watching one of your videos, keep it up👍

[@netsirkj]

2:09 she studied so hard she forgot to eat all her food hahaha so cool that ive been following you for a while and now you're pursuing med school! wishing you the best as always and looking forward to whatever uploads you can come up with during this time

[@victoriasalter1064]

I especially like the werewolf being in social studies lol 😂

[@brittanydebuhr4177]

You may not be able to upload regularly but the one consistency I look for is Emily. I was waiting for the damnit Emily thing but realized you had to read her name. I cackled so loud I scared my kids who were QUIETLY playing 😬. Happy new year hope med school is going well stay safe ❤️

[@chargeminecraft]

2:30 A Random Sim: Yay! I can go to Kingdom’s School of Sorcery to learn all sorts of magic! I’m so excited!

[@HeroLexx]

Trendi is kinda broken lol but in a good way. The first time I used it I set one of the outfits to over 1,000,000, without promoting, and it sold. Lmao

[@TacoQueen33]

So happy to hear from you again, Abi :) This video has really taught me some things. I only bought the pack after New Years but was too worried I was gonna mess up my Sim. But thanks to your video explaining a few things, this will make me much more confident.

[@giornogiovanna51]

Am I the only one who saw 2 sims t posing? Happy new year guys!

[@ZaphodTHEBeeblebrox]

not a bug! its a legit challenge

[@yaleatorio]

it's called the "t-pose challenge" in this pack

[@kaitlando636]

Lol

[@stellieb3]

Thanks for this video! I didn't know most of this stuff and it makes me want to spend more time in this pack now!

[@0catdeeznutz]

idk if llama lair is shark tank or not but in the uk we have a show called dragon's den, which is, from what I assume, just like shark tank. EA is an American company though so it probably is shark tank.

[@Kingofpenguins78]

Great timing for me I recently got high school years

[@kakashisenpai6145]

Omg glad to see you back Abi!! Best of luck in medschool!

[@okthen2447]

10:05 I’m pretty sure Llamas Lair is a parody of Dragons Den

[@ArmelleK]

So many things I didn't know, thanks a lot for your video ! Happy New Year ! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@HowardLord12]

Hello abi glad to see you come back 😀

[@lithiumkid]

missed your uploads! another great vid

Yaaaaay! Happy to see a new video and happy new year! 🎉❤

[@ingeuys5690]

Thank you for the review. I really enjoy it

[@feliciasantiago4345]

Love your content, I always learn something new 😊

[@missbilbybadinage1199]

It may have come out months ago, I’ve bought it only recently and haven’t yet played it. Except for the classroom bit, I hope it does give more character to the teens.

[@ZaphodTHEBeeblebrox]

happy new year! may your new year go wonderfully! 🥰

[@abrilrios5585]

Good luck with med school! Thank you for posting I missed seeing these videos !❤️

[@NotLikeUs17]

It’s good to see you post again. I hope life is treating you well.

[@brkh96]

Yay a new video! Good luck with medschool

[@dheanabila2162]

Lmfao computer science and villainy are for high school dropouts 😂 I love bits of realism

[@longtimebrick8]

Sims 4 High School Years is the best Expansion Pack for me, i love how Prom, Graduation and the Teen Lifestage itself got improved, but the School and The after school activities are so boring and very broken at release, and also despite the rabbitholes in some features, i still love this expansion pack.

[@longtimebrick8]

Also i forgot the consequences if like sim is getting expelled or drop out From high school, some jobs are not available for them unless if they have a school diploma.

[@kailepotato]

@@longtimebrick8 did they fix it or is it still buggy asf

[@longtimebrick8]

@@kailepotato it's still broken a little, but it depends on you if you buy it or not, for me it was good and don't have any issues with it but the graduation glitch because it was annoying me sometimes, you can wait once it is on 50% or 75% sale because it's still not worth it, but it depends on you.

[@sheogorathz]

I’ve been waiting for this since last year

[@lintangdwiansyah103]

Always love your video, mas Abi 🤩

I love the t posing in school at 0:33

[@feliciasantiago4345]

I didn’t know about the Bloody Mary death, that was really funny 😂

[@SigmaRho2922]

Sims who graduated early will be able to attend graduation ceremonies and receive diplomas if another sim in the household is scheduled to attend graduation.

[@Patrick_Cody02]

No worries, take your time, no need to rush

[@annekarenina4429]

LOL that Bandung scout uniform🤣

Happy New year Abi, wish you the best and keep up your hard work !

[@alpacacokelat]

Happy new year!!

[@docette2015]

You were late to make this list, I'm late to watch and make this comment. XD To be fair, I didn't know if I'd be getting this pack at all, but then my parents offered to buy me video games for my birthday, and I figured I might as well pick this up. :p But this is neat -- I knew about career day, I've seen that in other people's LPs, but I didn't know about the fire alarm or school fights! That's cool! And yes, Trendi is extremely broken. I don't know if this is annoying or hilarious. Probably both. :P

[@arummayp]

I would love this expansion packs. The thing that I wish in the sims 3 back then. Kinda cool tho

[@longtimebrick8]

Yeah same.

[@traditionalempress6961]

Same, aside from Seasons and Discover University, is definitely one of the best Sims 4 expansion packs.

[@LucyAdroit]

#5 was hilarious xD

[@dedebaws]

Akhirnya idup lagi

[@haileydagracie7356]

i understand i wanna be a pediatric occupational therapist so it might take me a while when im in college im not there yet but im excited

[@tugbatok9008]

ı also didnt know about stink capsule!

[@sleepybim]

Bro’s living the college life dlc 💀

[@monae1529]

I wish we could choose who attends highschool because I deleted all teen sims and made new ones to create my own monster high just for the game to spawn in new teens and only two of the teens I made show up to school

[@matthewphelan9288]

custodian is like fire drill. Nope Imma still clean the bathroom.

[@alfa5574]

DAFFA NURRAHMAN, U ROCKZ! I'll give you invitation to talk on our motivation seminar next week!

[@jvstred9112]

Did they change how Trendi works? I have the pack and will set my items for ridiculously high prices and they tend to sell. That being said, it’s been a while since I last used the feature

[@NightSparkle56]

My Sims literally got the max amount of money from their first sale...it definitely was broken at some point!

[@magicworldbyjorg]

.cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you…

[@tugbatok9008]

my teenage sim had acne scars but it didn't go away when she became a young adult in in CAS options....

[@aquamatae]

For me, the expelled trait was broken, since when joining a career, the option to join highschool was still there. What do you mean expelled???

[@neptoons3223]

YES

[@beamsupremacy_]

when r u gonna do another sims logic vid? ik u have med school and i dont wanna rush u but ive been rewatching the series

[@daffaarth5654]

Bro, why there's my name in the playthrough and it's a drop out to xD

We need a mod when in laptop mode you can still see the pom poms

[@Muhammadalgan]

Ihhh seragamnya nak SMAN 5 banget yaaa😂

[@nicololacson1709]

Wow, I just learned that the Trendi System is broken today. I did the same, I guess cheating money is irrelevant at this point in Sims 4.

[@themissingpeace7956]

I bought this pack only to realize a year later that I can’t even join my teen sim to HS because the follow button doesn’t show up 💀

[@gabzpot]

You should become famous in the game after selling clothes for that price. 😆
