I have to say... I actually fell asleep towards the end.

They seemed to dwell on certain things and left so much stuff unanswered. Unless I missed it all when I was resting my eyes ?

My attention wavered towards the end too, but I think that was partly because it was a long stream and also because I knew I had other things to do. I enjoyed it until my attention wavered.

One thing that bothers me is how much social media/influencer type content we're getting. I know we have all those things IRL but I don't really "get" influencers and all that stuff. I rarely watch streams and Youtube videos anyway. Honestly, the official sims ones are the only ones I seek out. I'd watch a Dragon Age 4 stream when the time comes though. I'm not really interested in the Social Bunny thing and I can't see myself using it more than once in a blue moon. I tend to go for themed games where the ultra-modern stuff doesn't fit very often. I hope it's not too difficult to play 90s teens or fantasy teens or historical teens. One thing I noticed was that when they did research they watched a lot of TV shows about current teens, and talked to real life teens, but what about those of us who grew up as teens in a different era and might want a more familiar experience at times?

Thank you like the skipped over the biggest tv shows that were so late 90s early 2000 like Degrassi next gen, One Tree Hill, The OC, Gossip Girl. I know they want to keep up with the times but what about the nostalgia? I'm with you on influencers I don't watch them I don't follow them so it will be interesting to see how to play in game.

Ill be honest, those aren't shows I watched, but there's things like The Fresh Prince of Bel Air and the other 90s teen sitcoms that I grew up on.

Those shows were mostly like Dawson's Creek, Buffy, Clueless centered around highschool.

I figured but I missed all of those. I did try to watch Buffy a few years ago and it's a shame I didn't watch it when I was a teen because I got it more, but as an adult I found the stereotypical stuff somewhat cringy. I do still love The Fresh Prince of Bel Air though (I watched some yesterday). My brother recently reminded me about Heartbreak High, an Australian teen show we used to watch back in the day. It's on Netflix so I might have to give that another go soon. And this is why my Netflix list never seems to get any smaller.

Dear sims team,

If there is still time to implement this before release, please please give us the ability to click on the whiteboards and set which subjects are taught on which whiteboard. This would enable us to build specialized classrooms for each subject (i.e. teach art in the art room, have science class in a room with the periodic table on the wall and an elements collection, etc.) plus have different teachers for each, since the teacher seems to be tied to the whiteboard. Judging from the livestream and creator network content, it looks like the current software has every class taught in one room by one teacher (even though the venue requires two whiteboards), and it seems like this would be so easy to fix with a simple "set subjects per whiteboard" feature.

Thank you for listening to my suggestion, and great work on this pack! Can't wait to play it.

I've dug out my teen collection DVDs of the following to watch before July 28th to inspire me for new sims creations they are:
Pretty in Pink
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Weird Science
Footloose
Risky Business
Buffy The Vampire Slayer Seasons 1-3

I would guess it's because in season 4, Buffy went to University.

Yup. ;)
