me2
same!
It’s coming out the summer before my senior year
Literally same
same
this looks exactly like the sorts of drama + gameplay the teens deserve, thank you sims team!
You can't actually participate in the classes though, you just sit and stare at them. BORING!
@@RedRoseSeptember22 i hope modders can fix that it is literally the only thing i wish was different. *well the pack isn't even out yet but you know what i mean* i am really excited for this though
if you watch simmers that already have early access to the pack you’ll see that this video is the opposite of what we get 😬
@@RedRoseSeptember22 i dont know why everyone wants to choose one little thing they dont like so they choose something as dumb as not doing anything in classes and complaining how you dont have the option to "sleep" in class when you literally have the option to PRANK another student. what else could you ask for? no one wants to sit in class anyways, after school activities are way more fun and interesting thats why they give you so much free time.
@@soobineffingchoi okay, but the after school activities are just a rabbit hole… you don’t get to actually attend cheer or anything else… so how are they more fun?
Can we talk about how fun all these voice actors are? Really felt the story! 😊
More like how cringey they are?
I love those voice actors, they totally got there sim!
@@RedRoseSeptember22 the voice actores killed it. The script was cringe!
@@RedRoseSeptember22 yep sounds like typical teen-agers to me everyone's teen years are filled with cringe
@@RedRoseSeptember22 dont know what you expected, theyre literally teens.
honestly looking forward to the builds in this pack and now that there is a lot to do with the teenage life stage
Hope there are not too many bugs like in wedding stories But I am already so thrilled to buy it
@@binhalthier5151 honestly hope so too, I don’t even know if they had fixes the bugs from that pack
I wish they would rework the teens somehow tho... It looks more like those trashy highschool tv-shows where a 40 year old actor is a teenager 😬
If you’re interested, bunch of simmers have already uploaded the gameplay!! (Vixella has a more detailed, but Lilsimsie uploaded the gameplay mostly and gave some negatives and positives of the pack) idk if you’ve watched it, but I definitely Recommend doing it
@@hourtohournotetonote thank you
I love how the voice actors are using a lot of our current teen ‘slang’. I bet it will be so weird for the next generations to rewatch this and cringe from how we used to talk. Hopefully sims will go on for that long
Shout out to the sims writers who legitimately got the context of “no cap” in Sydney’s video correct
It's not just the next generation. As a millennial I constantly find myself cringing at the way zoomers talk. 😅
is it “teen slang” or aave 🙄
For someone who didn’t get that perfect high school end (class of 2020😢). This pack being made is truly a game changer for me, I’ll get to finish out prom and graduation even if its virtual😂 (thank you to the Sims 4💕)
I'm also class of 2020! It's nice to see others who get that specific experience in the comments
Same, our school delayed our prom from mid february to mid march and then the rise of covid canceled it for real
Awe, this makes me sad 😭🫶🏽. It’s things like this that make you more excited for them thinking of the players when creating. My sister was class of 2020 as well.
omg class of 2020 yessss i can finally recreate my red 1920s themed prom moment (such a good theme was wasted. my bf at the time and i were gonna be nick and jordan from the great gatsby)
Class of 2024 (basically no freshman or sophomore year)
After this, I'd kill for a Discover University refresh so we can have as good a University experience as high school for our Sims.
The school looks so much more packed in this but in the gameplay I’ve seen it looks very VERY empty
Yes, five students max. But I think this is due to the fact that the worlds are underpopulated since only the pack and basegame is installed, so I wouldn‘t worry much about it.
Yeah what Sophie said is true, the highschool will be able to have 20 sims just like every other lot. And the BG only has like 4-5 teens so it’ll look different when people actually play it.
@@sophie9984 but most players don’t have every single pack installed, if a player has only bg, the school is going to be empty
@@user-ti8rz5yw9m no because you literally make more teens lmaoo
@@jad3maryann what if they don’t want to make more teens?
i hope the in person high school here can be integrated into the university pack. either way i'm excited!
So excited for this pack! I’ve started prepping my teens already
its not all that, wish there was more gameplay
@@makayla579 have you even played it yet? just wait to play the game yourself to make your own opinions lol
@@MrsRollercoastergirl exactly 😭😭 I already preordered the pack and people are already making negative comments about the pack like did i just spend 40 for nothing or are they hating already?!?!😭💀
@@timya8440 based on gameplay I’ve seen it looks pretty boring, the school is empty, there isn’t many things to do within the school, I’m buying it purely for the cas as a console I can’t get cc
@@okthen2447 right, you can’t even make your own npcs
I was gonna how unrealistic it is for lunch to be "drama central", but then I remembered I got caught in the crossfire of two girls fighting over a boy and literally lost my lunch over it.
According to early access footage nothing really happens during lunch other than sitting and eating but fights can autonomously happen after school
@@reading1713 thats also realistic. There was a rumor at my high school where if there were three fights in a day, we got to go home early. So people were starting fights for the stupidest reasons so we could go home early for Christmas.
I also really hate how old these teens look-like they shouldn’t look like preteens but there’s absolutely no reason Kevin looks 35, or Molly 27. I hope the Sims team really takes a look at the genetic system and the way they build teen shapes and physiques so they can stop inheriting their middle age parents wide hips and beer bellies 🥴
Ikr imagine making a teen pack and the teens look like adults?????? That's step 1 already failed
I agree but aren’t all of them portrayed as seniors? Considering prom and all? Maybe they could’ve had a freshman/sophomore vibe and then a junior senior vibe for this pack.
@@gitmon3y91 My school you have prom yearly- not just in senior year.
@@lilliethshadows wow that’s interesting prom is typically for seniors only, and sometimes juniors have a prom. The only dance/formal where all grades attend is homecoming.
@@gitmon3y91 that is so interesting! To me what my school does is normal so to see it’s often done different is very interesting.
For all the Kevins out there: It’s gonna be okay
Love this pack! But it could be really good to have some interaction in classes. Sleeping, asking a question, throw a paper message etc.
I think you can
Clicked sent too fast lol, I saw a review for the uncoming update and apparently the youtuber was taking the sim out of the class room to check the new phone, and said "Careful that the principal doesnt find us", im pretty sure you can, but I havent seen the game play reviews, im so excited for this pack that I want to see all by myself
You won't be able to, you can only watch them in class and that's super boring AF.
@@RedRoseSeptember22 the pack isn’t out yet and “all things are subject to change “
They should add periods for the girl and teen pregnancy, learning how to drive, more classes, mall, etc
if only the gameplay was like the trailer.
I love this and I also love how everyone is on the Molly simp train 😂. She’s the bad girl we all need. It have high expectations for this pack.
U need more likes
For anyone who hasn't seen early access content: All the afterschool activities are rabbitholes and your sims can't do anything in class, not even sleep on the chair.
Really? That sucks.
oh wow.. and i was so excited for this pack too i knew it was too good to be true 🤣
eh whatever, there’s still a lot of fun interactions and other gameplay. I’m still excited!
I know right?? And the trailers have been selling a different story 😭
Sounds fine to me. I'll be using the time in school to befriend other teens and increase skills anyway
Who else expected them to sound differently but were satified by the actual voices🤣🤣
you can't call lunch drama central when the cafeteria is a large empty room with three dining tables and an adult manning the lunch bar.
It's black box theater.
I literally can't wait for this pack. I haven't been this excited for a Sims EP in a very long time 😅😂 Congrats Sims Team. 🥳
this pack is perfect for me, a high schooler sitting cross-legged on my bed, using a social media platform, wearing thrifted clothing, drinking boba, and having just come from one of my friend's twitch streams💀💀
Can't relate.
Probs should fix the current packs 1st before sending out new packs, I feel like where paying 50 bux for a new world and a few items that’s it it’s not feeling worth it anymore. Fix what we got 1st then make it better!
I'm so excited for this pack😍
Hi kate
Same here Kate and cant wait to see what you build.
I know your builds will be out of this world! 😍
Hello! I can't wait to see what you build with this expansion pack.
*PLEASE READ EA* - You guys seriously need to add a lot for the Carnival because we have no way to travel there without going to another lot and already seeing it being a problem since sims invited don't show up there and are having Rando sims showing up at lots going inside the houses. There is an area from what I can tell that has a sitting area and a bubble tea booth already there that can maybe be a 10/10 locked lot to not be changed to anything else or allow us to add a different venue type like a Cafe/Karaoke Bar
Just build a park right next to the lot. And go to the park. If it bothers you that bad.
@@neville2308 - I'm thinking You don't comprehend the problems with that! NO sims, Not even your own go to the Carnival of their Own! Even Randos sims who work at the booths come to lot not knowing what do, and if the lot is a house they walk in like they belong there so if you like that than EA probably will Never address this problem.
@@cinnisims8448 In Tartosa, the flower cart vendor, the bakery vendor and food stall vendors all show up to work at their scheduled times even though they're part of the town square and not on an official lot, so I don't see why it would be any different for Copperdale. Same with Moonwood Mill. The werewolf packs show up at their pack hangouts and you can go there and interact with them without having to deal with a loading screen. It's one of these world's best features, in my opinion. I'm glad EA has been doing this in there most recent worlds and I hope it continues. People have been complaining about not having open worlds for years and now they are finally (sort of) giving it to us. I can't imagine why anyone would want to go back to closed lots. I also have never had anyone walk into my home uninvited in either Tartosa or Moonwood Mill. I have also seen sims go to these public areas on their own. If sims are not showing up to the Carnival, then that is a big issue and I hope they fix it before the pack is released to the public - but I wouldn't want it to be tied to a lot. That would be going backwards. They made it work in Tartosa and Moonwood Mill, so they should be able to make it work in Copperdale too. The Carnival is the thing I'm looking forward to the most out of this pack.
@@GK-ob1ni - I'm not trying to argue this issue. I get some players don't expect better when it comes to routing issues, and I had only suggested what I thought could help. This comes from my observation after watching couple of videos of EA creators who had early access. - I personally don't like Randos showing up and walking into houses uninvited, and it's been happening way more since Cottage Living but feel it started with Island Living and what's bad about this, you can't tell them to leave a lot of times unless you zone out. -As for Carnival, from what I've seen of these videos, is sims don't interact with anything there except maybe the baba tea booth and seats. -If not at a park I'm going to assume as I've not seen videos how invited sims interact if at all, but if on a residential lot, invited sims will not go to it or stay there, but probably at your house doing things they shouldn't be doing like...cooking, sleeping, taking baths and using your pc when in real life people don't do that stuff when they go to people houses, maybe family.
So excited! The potential this pack has is WOW. Just wow. I am so thrilled to be a part of this wonderful, WONDERFUL community. Woohoo! EDIT: THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU FOR ALL THE LIKES. :)
That’s why I’m sceptical, potential is different from reality and EA’s track record….
@@liamw6562 Unfortunately it does fall short. After school activities are rabbitholes and you can't interact at all in class - you get those chance card popups but they don't even actually happen to your sim.
@@FrogglesMcBoggles Where did you find out this information?
@@FrogglesMcBoggles Nvm just skipped through a review smh what a bummer! and the fact that they false advertised with football and cheerleading after school activities only for you not to be able to participate... Don't know how I feel about this
You can purchase a cheerleading mat and a rugby ball in build mode I can see why it’s a rabbit hole because it would be a lot more work to add in
Omgosh the voice actors did such a good job makes me wanna play this pack even moreeeer
It’s bittersweet cause it seems to be a shallow pack but I know modders are gonna come through and turn this into something amazing.
Literally how does it seem shallow?
As someone who graduated during the pandemic (2020) I can’t wait to remake my senior year
Same for me
Aww. I hope all the pandemic graduates have so much fun with this pack. Y’all really did get cheated.
Sul Sul! Who from #TheSims4HighSchoolYears are you looking forward to becoming besties with? 😎 Available July 28 ✨
hi lol
Kevin is so cute
I wish we could get summer break with seasons EP and high school yearz together , so excited for this and all the updates tho 🥰💞 !
You could make your own summer holiday in the calendar
Was just going to say, make your own spring break with the calendar and have all your teens off school!
@@berbervdwoude4965 yes exactly why they didn’t do it since you basically already can yourself
There’s a saved file that redid all worlds she’s pretty good and has a lot of events in the game your sim has off a lot during summer for summer break vacation etc check it out
@@divalove88 it still wouldve been nice to have it in the game though since i may be wrong but i imagine it could affect your sims performance also other sims arent off so idk it just feels wrong but im still fine with it since i didnt think of having the summer holidays until i seen the comment u replied to
I think sims has improved these days, you are getting more successful in everything, congratulations, I wish you success, I look forward to new additions
The voice of Ash sounds VERY familiar. Does anyone know who does the voice for this sim?
Is it zendaya ???
@@jayleenkai doubt it, sounds a lot more like chloe grace moretz
@@jayleenkai molly sounds a bit like zendaya yeah
I think Molly and Ash sound like Shelby Young. She might have voiced both of them
@@jayleenkai I don’t think EA hired Zendaya to voice a sim in a 3 minute trailer that’s only for KZhead. That would be super expensive for no reason.
We all know the game won't be like this trailer. The corridors will be empty, no one will be autonomously doing those interactions. Prom will have people just standing around not doing anything, probably will also have random townies or old neighborhood sims there as well.
i've never been this excited for a pack in a long time, they ate this whole thing up !!
All I know is that I want Kevin to win for once 😭😭 this was so cute!
They're like the kinda friends I would've loved to make memories with back in HS 🥺 exciting stuff in this pack!
What's the point of making a teen whose mom's the principal if you can't play her household without her mom losing her role as the principal? You did this exact thing with Sarah Scott in Cottage Living.
The most irritating part about this pack is the high school in Sims is currently named Buckingham High. Will that change or are we supposed to suspend belief so when you “join” teens at school they go to Copperdale, but when you select “send alone” they’re at Buckingham? Did anyone else notice this? The Sims should hire an official Historian who is responsible for continuity in the lore. The Historian would review new content to make sure it is consistent with existing stories.
hmmm, you should send an email to EA since they change stuff like that at the peoples recommendations. with the goth refresh and neighborhood stories i think they’re taking lore more seriously but this is def an oversight i’m sure that can be fixed if we bring enough attention to it
@@angel1202003 Great idea. I sent an email via their contact form.
sidney saying “no cap.” is sending mee😂
FRR
8 years of broken packs and $984.44 to get the whole Sims 4 experience… Not getting another Sims 4 game again.
This is an adorable promotion, the voice actors killed it!
Love the way you guys made the trailer!! 🥰
I've seen these 100× on Instagram and so happy they are on KZhead now! I'n super siked about the pack! Can't contain my excitement!!🤣🤣🤣😍
I'm so excited for this expansion!
this is so GOOD
if i ever have to hear the words "no cap" uttered in a sims trailer again i will commit crimes
🤣🤣
Okay, this trailer was perfect!!!
I'm so excited but so scared at the same time for this pack!! 😁😅
This pack looks just amazing! 😍
I was excited but this literally broke my game 💀
It's a little uncanny how all of these "teens" look like they're about to start pushing 30 😳
Ikr so sad 😐
I’m so ready for this expansion pack to drop!! 😍😍😍
Hearing these sims speak in non-simlish felt like I was getting hit by a truck😂 excited to see this content!!
At this point, this is beyond ridiculous. I have spent over $1000 on this game and all the packs and yet I still cannot sit and play over an hour without encountering at least one bug that requires me to basically restart the whole family/or game. I am just so tired of getting excited for something and it basically falls flat, EVERY SINGLE TIME! Cottage Living was literally the only games pack that I really think they did some good stuff in, and that was released in the LAST YEAR! Please EA, if you literally care at all fix this mess or no one is gonna be excited for Sims 5, we''ll all be playing Paralives and giving someone else the baton to carry for awhile.
So true
I am so excited for this pack. Finally my teens will be cool
no, just disappointment. the school is available, but the classes aren't interactive, and rabbit holes are practically the main thing. do not buy.
This pack is missing something a mall for teens! Honestly I’m making one as soon as I get this pack next Thursday could you imagine an arcade, a boba tea shop, thrift shop, gym, food court and more!!🥹
So exited for this pack
I love this pack, it makes the RP’s so realistic
This video actually made me excited for the pack! So glad I bought it early. ❤️
So excited for this pack ❤️❤️
I am so excited for this pack! GO WHOMP WHOMPS!
Lol
I love the voices of the Sims! The Sims team is killing it with everything
The cutest one!! I already love these characters without even interacting with them yet
Nah. Im passing on this one. I'm a professor so all education packs trigger me. I don't wanna play work 🤣. The horror. Yall enjoy though. Looks like lots of new little features!
I'm getting it only for the objects because we all know the gameplay will be bugged, they will release multiple fixes that dont fix sht, modders will come through and save the game. The Sims without mods is a very boring and broken game. Plus, they are just falling into propaganda now, buying into "trends" and mental illness, like pronouns and stuff like that. So, dont deny yourself of curved walls, just get it (if you want) for the stuff which is kinda cool and cute. Modders will come to the rescue.
This could be one of the best dlc sims have released in a while
this is really cool thanks to you developers who thought of it and brought us into the game! I'm very happy♥️
I graduated last month and I'm glad they added this!
now THIS is the type of stuff we wanted
Im so excited. Ive been watching all the early access simmers videos. Body hair, acne? How awesome! Gameplay is so important. I was scared the classes would be a rabbit hole. So happy its not.
But your sim goes to sit down in the class and that's it. The staff even fast forwarded the classes as there's no gameplay. So not much better then a rabbit hole. Yet past school mods you could at least interact with the teacher and other students during class, but you can with this game.
@@aurora6920 right! Ive been playing also the patch before the release really screwed my game up. And the prom is really glitchy for me. My sims keeps changing out of her formal wear into her regular clothes.
This pack looks pretty cool. I’m excited to explore new content. Brings me back to my HS days
I have wanted this for YEARS
After watching many youtubers review this pack I think they are over hyping it
We simply cannot receive broken content anymore. With a game that's now cost well over SEVEN HUNDRED POUNDS you must stop making packs and fix the bugs. You've gotten plenty money from us to pay all your employees for the time needed to fix everything. Stop making packs, fix the bugs.
Yes pls fix the bugs ASAP
dam right
This is the perfect expansion pack for Teen Sims! This gives me hope for a kids school pack. Awesome Pack! ❤️🥰❤️
This trailer is good...I love their voices and stories. I love so much😍🥰🥰
This video was unexpected but hilarious! I like how you get a different perspective of the 4 students
I meannnn, is it really fair to put animations, "gameplay", or whatever in the trailers that don't actually exist in game? I understand that it's done to sell a story but... it seems misleading.
I graduated high school two years ago and this is so awesome
The voices actually suited all of the characters I’m so excited for this pack-
RIGHT LIKE thats an actual accurate depiction of what I thought Molly and Sidney would sound like.
Can't play because eithet random townies I added age or my sims always die from starvation, I waited since like June 27th it's about time for your developers to actually work..
Another pack that should’ve been base game
The story lines we are all going to have is gonna be fire 🔥🔥🔥🫶🏾
so excited for this pack and i love this but the voice actors trying to talk like gen z is killing me lmaooooo
"No cap" "Now it's your turn besties!" "It's giving prom ready" "Sooo cute y'all"
*clears throat* i meant of this video . 🎤
This looks so fun, I wish it were the end of the month already.
I can’t play the game at all it kicks me back to the worlds menu whenever I try to play a household
Going into high school after summer break I'm so excited for this pack
Can someone pls tell me why it’s not Letting me go with my teenage sims to school when I have the pack.
Im having the same issue. And couldn't find anything about it online and I checked everywhere
@@kva5751 same idk what’s happening
I only have basegame and one dlc but the needs bar is broken for me and my sims die from starvation.
My game has so many issues and glitches its not even funny. I'm one of those simmers that buy every single DLC that release to feel like I'm getting the full experience. But prom doesn't even work/activate. Y'all never completely fixed my Wedding stories and I got over that but if you don't fix highschool and I mean COMPLETELY I am officially done with the sims forever.
That happened to me but I deleted mc commands and prom worked
@@starsforseungmin I try that and see if it works, thanks!
@@AilaK_ no problem, if that still doesn't work try uninstall get famous dlc, some people said that it worked for them
I love the decor and clothes in the pack but the gameplay for me is really buggy and basically makes my game unplayable as I need to reset my Sims after every interaction so I'm not going to bother playing until the new update comes fingers crossed it fixes most of the issues
im so excited for the expansion!
This pack is so cute! Can't wait to play it.
Aging all of my Sims from kids to teens now! 🥰 I can’t wait until this pack comes out!
I'm waiting until the pack comes out lol. I want them to have the full high school experience from the moment they age up.
@@dracos0024 same
@@dracos0024 same cause I have this save with two twins and I wanna give one of them socially awkward
Doing the same for all mine too, and with all my families I’m gonna have all their drama conjoin together lol
i am soo excited for this pack!!it actually seems so full of detail and worth the gameplay🤍
I would like a bank!! I hate how it’s just one money pot for the whole household. A bank would mean the money teens get from part time jobs would go into their own accounts and kids/teens could do chores to earn money to buy their own stuff.
For real!! I once had a teen who was 'saving up money and hiding it from his parents' and every time he came back from part-time job I'd write down the amount of money on a paper and then count it up. So much work for a simple detail ToT
I am soo excited for this pack! Im just counting down the days❤️❤️ Go womp womps
I am SOOOO excited for the game, i can not WAIT
Prom night being every Saturday makes the hole thing lass exciting. Like really why?
The reason is for when kids age up to teens, they will be able to have a prom. No one will miss it.
Hopefully, we'll be able to delete some of them via the calendar
I did not expect Ash to sound like that
That’s what I thought!!
I am so excited for this pack!
I am actually more excited to see what the modding community does with this than the actual pack. Don’t get me wrong… this pack is LONG over due and I ready. However, my excitement is reserved for the “protect at all cost” modding community!!
