i love that its american highschool themed because i am german and let me just say... my highschool experience is pretty much like in the sims right now. you go there, you get grades, you come again. nothing interesting happens. so i am very, very excited for this

[@DREAMINDIGO]

Italian here, same thing! This trailer made me wish “I were in high school”, then I realised I am already in high school and I hate it. Plus here in Italy you stay in h school until you are 19 so it’s even more draining and boring Edit: sorry for the vent

Hey, I don't mind them breaking down the content among the age groups. If they want to someday give us a Game Pack someday that focuses on elder sims with a retirement community, jigsaw puzzles, bingo, wheelchairs and the ability to send seniors away on a world cruise, I won't complain.

[@emmaalbers6320]

this is actually hilarious and i could see them doing this. I can already see a promotional screenshot of an old sim spinning wildly in a wheelchair with a staff person freaking out and a couple people getting mad about a puzzle in the background. The fake plant, the TV that's always playing in the living space...

I think them making this a stereotype-movie kind of high school is a great move. Of course, I would love if they had also added a boarding school option too, but to be honest this is the first time I have been excited for an expansion pack since Discover University, I’m not complaining

[@ShadoeLandman]

You could probably pretend to have a boarding school. Move your teens into a household that has some other teens and a like den mother or other adult instead of their parents.

[@feniasklika125]

@@ShadoeLandman I do that all the time but it’s not the same because I need to control all the sims and cheat their needs etc etc… Hopefully I can modify the look of the new school from this expansion pack and make it a boarding school 🏫

[@ShadoeLandman]

@@feniasklika125 You shouldn't really need to do that. They may not always be in great moods, but they're unlikely to be so bad at caring for themselves that they die or anything.

[@october67]

I would totally watch a let’s play of that scenario!!

[@owltato2924]

My biggest concern about what could go wrong is with sibling sims. Like what if you have twins or just teens close in age that are both at high-school at the same time? It would be weird if you could only follow one of them, like in get to work where if two sims from the same household have the same active career, you only ever see one at work. But on the other hand it would be annoying to HAVE to control all of them if you don't want to. But personally I'd prefer to have access to all of them at school than just one because that would just be SO strange.

[@vagrantclown]

i'm wondering if it'll be like when two of your sims visit a lot, where you DO get control over one of them, but not the ones that arent on the lot

[@DaraxXxDevious]

Yeah even if you couldn't control them both at school it would be nice to be able to have them interact.

[@Velossitee]

Hm the fact custom highschool lots will be a thing, that might not be a problem. If you can join a lot that is in your world I'm sure you can just click on your sim who's at school and focus on their education and maybe other teens that also go to school can be there while you are like a social event but without restrictions. For instance if school is in session you can just control your teen sims to walk around the halls and interact with other students and teachers. I'm hoping they can start a refresh for get to work, though, to add a live active job for teachers, coaches, and principles. That'd be awesome. Also if they could add a kindergarten that'd be absolutely awesome. I already have a mod that allows for live-in daycare and she gets payed for watching kids.

[@blossomedsims9413]

I’m pretty sure you will be able to go with both of them.

[@alirobinson1325]

@@blossomedsims9413 that would make sense, but what i think its going to be like is like the acting career, where there's tasks in the corner of the screen you have to do, and i'm not sure how that could work when it comes to two sims attending school at the same time.

[@kylaping4429]

I'm really glad they're adding body hair before a pack that has puberty in it rather than before werewolves. Body hair is natural, not animalistic

[@marinettewhite5672]

i hope it includes female framed sims because i didn't see any have any body hair. they didn't in the sims 3 which is why im nervous. not just men have body hair! ( sorry if my comment sounds weird, i wasn't sure how to word it )

[@kylaping4429]

@@marinettewhite5672 No, your comment makes total sense!! I completely agree, I hope feminine framed Sims get body hair too, but I didn't see it in the trailer. I think feminine body hair is viewed as taboo and "gross" when it's something everyone grows. Feminine presenting people are just expected to shave, which is why I can see them leaving it out. I really hope they include it

[@CheshireGrumps]

Re: It being the US style high school: As a European, I don't mind at all! Like you said, it kind of feels like playing in a movie, which totally fits with the Sims vibe. The University pack was also super American-centric, so it makes sense to me!

[@graceparton8407]

I would actually disagree with the university pack being american-centric! When I think of American college I think of greek life, sororities and fraternities etc, and discover university had none of that. I think they were going for a more British-centric experience given the architecture and name Brichester. I'm don't mind at all about this pack being american-centric though.

[@d.k.4217]

@@graceparton8407 I can see this. I personally thought it could’ve been really cool for sims to join a Greek org, or even attend sporting & on campus events like the soccer games in the stadium instead of just disappearing when they got there. Lots of rabbit holes.

Just today (yey) I graduated from international high school program from Europe and I do agree. Yes we have our own local traditions but there aren’t as many as in the us

[@aurora6920]

American schools have a lot more going on then UK schools e.g. cheer leading, american footaball, graduation etc but i think it makes the game more interesting and adds more to do. otherwise if it was just UK school you would just be going to school... i would rather have all the extras americans have!

[@camryn5709]

Something tells me that the two won’t connect :/

[@jesselenah]

Haha yeah that is a thing in the US. As for the Sims, I mean, you need more art related skills for Britechester and more science related skills for Foxbury (not sure I got the names right) so maybe chess/computers club for Foxbury and more sketching on the sketch pad/singing for Britechester

[@modellodime-7429]

This looks even better than I could imagine BUT, I sincerely hope that we can actually attend classes, cause I felt like something was missing in University

[@muhdiskandar02]

I’m not sure how attending classes could be good gameplay as you’re just watching a sim watching another sim and writing down notes. Unless you can try to talk to your classmates, do science practicals, cheat your test etc, then there would be some merit to that idea. I feel like most people will just have to fast forward if the teens have more than one active class in a day

That was the one place where I found other weirdos like me. This world looks so amazing, and I do not understand the people complaining "we should have had this sooner." The trailer alone shows so many venues, so many actions, build and CAS. Maybe they didn't have the technology to do all this until now. I look at the animation on the animals in Cottage Living and am blown away. Yeah, Weddings still has glitches they need to patch, but given all the gameplay that pack offers...

There’s nothing wrong with a stereotypical American highschool experience. The sims is an American game. (As far as I am aware).

Seasonal, American, European, Asian etc. would be so cool.

[@umyeah3116]

especially since it’s an expansion pack! I would be disappointed if they didn’t include other perspectives especially after how much they’re including other perspectives today (like with a lot of the CAS items including different religious and cultural items, and a lot of cultural foods)

[@Art-st1yi]

They kind of already do. There’s a rio themed pack and a pack containing a lot of Indian outfits. Not sure what the packs are called though. More would be fun, but they do already have a few

[@DREAMINDIGO]

The Italian Liceo experience™️ is people getting depressed (or stoned lol) due to the huge amount of homework, getting stressed out, absolutely no prom, you stay in the same class for 6/8 hours with only 10 minutes long break to get up and eat something (ONLY before covid, now you get to stay 6 hour sitting and becoming mentally ill). At least we can ask to go go the toilet and get up. Each class has its classroom, the teachers move, not the students. Everyone gets to study the same 11 subjects. I could go on but who cares

And right on the tail of the Werewolf Pack!? I'm totes making my own version of Teen Wolf. ;)

[@monfetus3390]

and to me this is what the sims is for; live your dreams and fantasies in game. i see people in the comments say that they had a bad highschool experience and that they're just happy that they'll get to create a positive experience for their sims, no matter how cliché, and that's a good thing. the sims, for a lot, is an escape and it seems like this pack will be a great tool to allow that. i hope we're not disappointed. from the trailer i'm sold.

I understand what they're trying to do with the pre-order bonus items, but after so many flops, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a large amount of simmers who would rather wait to see reviews.

At least then there's still the possibility of getting them after watching reviews etc.

for me personally, as a teen who plays the sims, this pack is right up my alley. I love the idea of actively going to school, skipping out on class and taking the precautions to not get caught(which is very realistic), cheer, football, clubs, detention, crushes, and more. As well as the social media aspect, clothes, amusement park, and thrifting/boba(two things I heavily indulge in). The only things that I’m a little bugged out by are how the sneaking out will work because many windows clearly don’t open, how they’ll coincide with packs like parenthood, snow escape, etc., will the pack be buggy like the wedding pack(???), and the lack of clubs. Idk if the clubs mentioned where just a small amount but things like drama clubs and, just the basic clubs created in general by student body, will they be included? Will the sims be able to develop their own school club and incorporate people??(I mean I guess you could do that with get together but still)

Also, how long does your school day go? If it is anything like University, it's gonna feel very cramped and stressful if you want to succeed but also tell a story and have fun.

Plus I imagine the content will be useable in other worlds too (like you can put a high school in Sulani if you want), it's not really the type of pack where the world is super important - and I say that as someone who immensely appreciates new big worlds. This particular pack I'm pretty okay with not having a big world since presumably I can do all the stuff in existing worlds anyway.

[@patiencecarey3770]

@@yesindeed1614 that is literally a VERY common sport lol, at least over here. In other places sometimes soccer is pronounced football

[@madsahren2208]

@@yesindeed1614 well, now u will hopefully get to see American football in this pack lol. Like i said, I think this is deliberately an american pack

I typically don’t care for expansion packs but this one just scratches an itch for me. My graduating class was the year of 2020, so I’m sure everyone can understand that things like graduation or prom weren’t available. Being able to make a little sim group of me and my friends and give them the highschool experience we didn’t get to have just makes me feel so happy. Really looking forward to hearing more about this pack!

The only thing I missed in highschool was graduation, I left a few months before to finish my diploma early. I got to enjoy the thrill of sneaking out at night, going to parties, and skipping school so it wasn't all bad.
