  • As someone from Midwest USA, the colored parking spaces are a tradition for seniors. Seniors were assigned a parking space and were able to paint it however they wanted to mark that it was their’s. We were a small school in the middle of nowhere though, so I’m surprised that EA used this kind of niche tradition. (We also had drive your tractor to school day, but that one may have just been us)

  • Honestly, this is probably an unpopular opinion but this high school looks soooo boring. What is the point in having an active school if you literally can´t do anything during class? Even with the normal school system, you can at least work hard, take notes and so on. It´s also really sad that you can hardly do anything on the sports field, not even run laps on the track. I think they should have concentrated less on the trendi thing and the D-pop collab and more on the school and more activities to do with school. I also wished this pack came with a principal, teacher and janitor career.

    • I'm with you in this one. The school day is even MORE boring than the real thing, to me. As ADHD, even the few minutes in the video got me itching and fidgeting. There's not that much to do and I think, in my gameplay, I would just send the teen there and then go to de Pier and the city center to meet friends and do other activities. I was also hoping for careers for adults in this pack and that we could follow THEM to school and do stuff like grade notes, put people in detention, put teens to work with each other to try to make them become a couple, help with career, etc. Just the other side of the thing, you know? Like the Education Career of University, but expanded. The most interesting part for me is the Pier and the park and it made me wish SO HARD for more game dynamics with this theme. I also like the build and buy items, but I won't be buying this one until it's on sale. But then, I'm on the contrary side of the sims fandom as a whole, as I HATED the idea of a wedding pack and the idea of this one and I don't like much game play that mimics daily life.

    • I'm sure someone in the Sims community will make a mod that adds more to the high school pack, that's honestly how the game is still popular in my opinion. The different challenges, the custom content, the mods that add extra stuff. Otherwise, this game would have probably died out about 1-3 years after its release.

    • I like a lot of the teen interactions. I think the Trendi stuff is fun. But I agree that the school itself is lacking. The students just sit in class. There should be options like take notes or take a nap. Things that can positively or negatively effect your grade. In the very least. But of course if they could have expanded upon that and actually have beakers and stuff for your sims to experiment with?

Then when he’s an adult he can rejoin with the current timeline with being an adult during the werewolves rage to riches. Then from there idk, if there’s any gameplay based packs at that point it would obviously lead to that. But even something like Reginald has children, and a partner, and Nina has children but doesn’t want them because she’s into being a lone wolf, so Reginald and his partner raise Nina’s child?

  • I can't believe that after 8 years they finally decided to revamp a ton of basic systems, re-do the whole skintone/pronoun/sexuality system and fix townies, add more occults and town lore, flesh out a life stage, give us wants & fears and shopping similar to the Sims 2. This game is having its renaissance, but it's embarrassing that it took the life cycle of 2 typical games to finally get there. It's like they finally started listening to the community and acknowledged that Sims 2 and 3 were good as they were, and that their wacky experimental stuff added nothing to the table in the long run.

    @Frenchaboo@Frenchaboo Жыл бұрын
    • The main reason it started so badly is because Sims 4 was supposed to be an online game, then SimCity tanked, and EA did a 180 degree turn instead of a 360 degree turn by keeping a good portion of what they'd already created (including retrofitting some of the multiplayer game play for solo play.) But yeah, they're just killing time until Sims 5 is released, and I think a lot of the prior packs weren't doing so well, so they finally decided to put the time and resources into what people were asking for which makes it easy to figure out what to focus on for their next couple packs (rather than kits.) It also gives them a lot of praise for turning things around and adds a somewhat longer life span to Sims 4 after they stop updating it, similar to Sims 3, so they can cash in on both or eventually remove Sims 3 like they did the Sims 2 and only have the most recent product competing with their newest version. Most importantly, I think they know about Paralives so they're trying to inject some of what that game is promising out of the gate into Sims 4 (and presumably Sims 5) in the hopes of keeping this franchise prominent. Not saying EA is afraid, they know the Sims name alone will get them a bunch of customers and video promotions, especially for Sims 5, just that they know they'll have to match it within reason to keep the negative criticisms down once Paralives releases and does good given how much Paralives is already being hyped up by disgruntled Sims players. (And rightly so, but it's basically preemptive damage control.) Of note, I really hope they give us a kids pack that adds more child aspirations. I really like the teen ones but they didn't need it as much as the child state does!

They change their identities and start from scratch again, all while raising their teenage children in high school. I'm really interested to see more parent-child dynamics in this pack because I feel like they play a huge role in teenage/high school life.

  • One of the things I like most about people learning about American schools is the sheer number of parking spots. It is extremely common for someone to get their driver's license around age 16 (it can be earlier or later depending on what state they are in - 14 in some places!) so American high schools usually have a massive parking lot for students. My particular school would do raffles for charity where you would enter to win one of the first 10 parking spots near the front of the school.

The education path is soooo different.

  • I wasn’t sure about the thrift store and bubble tea store being a combo lot type, but thinking about it, it could be a fun way to make two functional separate stores next to each other, which is something I’ve always wanted to do but just accepted there would be no way to do it. I think it could be impractical for some people or on some lots, but I’m excited at the idea of making something that looks like two separate stores, that is also both functional :)

  • So fun to see Reginald get his own rags to riches LP! So glad that I have MC command center so that I can increase the number of allowable Sims on a lot. Looking forward to seeing all of the renovated high schools that people come up with. My only sad thought is that you can’t put high schools in other worlds… I wish it was a lot type and not just a specific lot. Anyway thanks James! 💜💜

  • The disabled parking as far away from the front door as possible was a nice touch, along with there being stairs at both the front and back entrances of the building for the extra challenge to the non-existent wheelchair users of the sims world. You can tell a lot of consideration went into it, the team really thought about how a disabled person with potentially limited mobility would get around the school just like able bodied people think about those things in the real world. Yep the inclusion of that parking spot was definitely not a token effort.

    • Also the disabled parking doesn't have any extra space around it that wheelchair users need to transfer in and out of the car. I don't understand why they would put that in at all, it just draws attention to the lack of disability in the game.

  • I haven't watched you in years. Literally but I still remember the legacy of the bigwallets. I'm actually pretty excited for this pack. I normally don't care about new stuff being added to the Sims being a werewolf is fun. Being a vampire is fun being a Spellcaster is fun. All the stuff they've added over the years have been enjoyable but they never really flashed out one specific age group. The Parenthood pack helped with toddlers to teenagers a lot and the stuff packs gave them stuff but this pack is actually for teenagers which is really cool.

  • Why is Reginald living my life at the start of this game? It's too real. This is the first time I've ever seen painted parking spots. That option has to be specific to individual schools. It could also be a recent trend. My small town school didn't do this. We could use the side parking lot when we got our license between ages 16-17, so they were mostly for Juniors, Seniors, and teachers. We just had to find an open spot and pray it wasn't out in the back 40 if you were late. My Senior year is when I started driving to school. I wish I'd had the opportunity to buy a spot and decorate it. My ADHD self could have gone nuts with colors and designs. I WAS ROBBED!!

The Barista at $28/hr =280 at the end of the week vs the Retail being $33/hr into $660 at the end of the week. Plus the Retail starts at 6 so you have 30 minute window from the Cheerleading :)

Then this letsplay would happen at the same time as the paranormal letsplay with Brodie, Isiah and Candle. Reginalds children would be teenagers/adults at the same time when Chaz and Trenton had the cottage living letsplay so when Reginald eventually moves to moonwood mill at his own, his grandchildren would be the same age as Angus and Nina and the two timelines would merge in to one. That would be so cool!!
