It seems like you disagree with everything in every thread though and you never explain the why. Why don't you at least try to expand on why you wouldn't. Also, it wouldn't hurt you to at least tell us what you would like to see in game too.

Me? I think that this would be cool, but I would also like to have a Boarding/University expansion pack that allows you to go with the kids. Now that would be cool.

its not part of the way i play and i went familys to stay close and boarding school is not a place to send school to me it clearly go againts my gameplay not everyone plays the same and me it go againts the way i play i play to have fun and went family to be close to each other and see each other everyday.

Just cause the feature is there doesn't mean you have to use it though. You could allow people to have their fun in asking for things though. So you feel like the family doesn't need to go anywhere or live apart? That the parents and kids don't need jobs/school to go to or places to go have fun......that their fun should be just at home with family? Just trying to understand.

It's a wonderful idea. :)
I hope it's implemented. It's really annoying when simmers try to sabotage ideas. This is where we offer up ideas to EA. It's up to them to decide what makes sense for the game and matches their vision.

This is not the Discussion forum, nor Feedback, or Speculation. It's the Idea corner where Ideas are born, not slaughtered.

Well, like any ideas.......some like the ideas that people come up with some don't. People are allowed to voice their opinions no matter what if they do it respectfully. I have given the simmer in question a chance to expand their views past the "I don't want this in game" cause that is all that they say from what I see. I like giving people a chance to be heard before going against what they are saying. And even if I am against an idea? I still talk to them about the ins and outs of it. In the end it all boils down to a couple of things: being listened to is important, opinions are just that--opinions--none are right nor wrong, and that people can co-exist if they are respectful enough when talking back and forth.

And thankyou very much! I hope it is implemented. I miss the shmoozing of bosses and principles! Although I hope they make it a bit easier than the last time.......not too easy, but easy enough if you do everything the right way. I could never seem to get the hang of it.

I agree, if they did bring back boarding schools, I really want to be able to go with the kids!

well, I do not want the boarding school that the social workers have for like bad grades or failing kids, but the one that rich people uses to get rid of their kids is ok. :)

Yes! I also want them to bring back the feature where you have to invite the headmaster over and impress him to get your kids into the prestige school. I think that was from the sims 2 if I remember correctly. Also have the option to have your kids come back on the weekends, I think in the sims 3 they never came home even on the weekend? I don't know how boarding schools do it in real life but I would like to see my sims kids on the weekend so I don't forget about them lol

Yes! I would love if we had boarding school again, especially if the Gurus could implement it in a way kind of like the jobs in Get to Work. Like, your child/teenager sim would be "greyed out" on the thumbnail-bar-thing but you could switch to control them at school or switch back to the sims at home. They could also have nifty uniforms like the private school students in the Sims 2, or not, if there were different campuses to choose from with different rules, features, or drawbacks.

And in the same vein, the Gurus could use the same system for a University pack. As a college student, I'm doing my prereq credits at the community college down the street before transferring to a state uni, and it's more cost effective to just stay at home until I transfer (as I don't have to pay $5k to share a room with 8 people or half that just to eat). It would be interesting, while unlikely, to see something like this in the Sims; where a student stays at home and pays a cheaper tuition, then goes to class when it's time instead of moving to a dorm right off the bat. Then they could transfer to a bigger school and have the whole "college experience". Idk, just a (rambley) idea ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Also add home school by using computers gadgets. I'm loving all these ideas.

Well yes I love see if boarding school for children and teenage and could come home in weekend or Christmas holiday but have half term at boarding school I would like boarding college for adult too but Sims 4 won't do that don't listen to Sims 4 players.

Yes, and each boarding school can have an exclusive reward item:

Military school: obstacle course

Arts school: drawing board

Culinary school (new one): butter churner

Argonomy school (replace the Peace and Love one from TS3): vertical hydroponic garden

Posh prep: sewing machine

Private school: mini golf

Sports school: TBA

Occult school (new one): Grim Reaper telephone

Tech/Industrial school: Junk car for restoration

I absolutely would love Boarding Schools back. The Sims 2 and 3 had this and it was great. The different kinds of Private Schools had different uniform colors to coincide and they were really cute.

I added this to my list when commenting on Keekee53's request for more High End things for Sims to spend their money on. The link for the original post is here if you want to check out her request. My response is lengthy but here is the excerpt pertaining to schools.
