Boarding Schools (Also for witches, maybe?)
Something I would like to see in The Sims 4 is a boarding school. I have been thinking about it and, if executed well, I think it could deliver some fun and fresh, new gameplay. I imagine a boarding school would be located in a little world together with some other lots that kids and teens could visit in their freetime. With the current polls about supernaturals going on, ideas on a boarding school for witches have crossed my mind.

Ideas specifically for a boarding school for witches
I know the latter gives serious Harry Potter vibes (which I personally don't mind at all). However, Harry Potter is not the only story of a magical school. A problem I see is that a boarding school for witches could make it hard to fit in all styles of witches - maybe there could be a few different boarding schools and either way, boarding school should still be optional. I highly doubt they would add a boarding school with a Witches GP; and if that would mean that the witches themselves go short, I'd even be against it. Anyway, just sharing my ideas. :smile:

Boarding school ideas
- Kids and teens can attend it
- Sign up for it on the computer or phone (maybe a possibility to add something similar to the visit of the private school's headmaster in TS2)
- Choose a bedroom (like in TS2 university) or maybe there would be shared bedrooms (bunk beds?)
- Different classrooms
- Cafeteria / dining hall
- Shared washrooms
- Schoolyard
- School uniforms
- Studying and grades
- Rules that can be broken or pranks that can be played
- Punishment (detention or duties like cleaning etc.)
- Sports
Ideas specifically for a boarding school for witches
- If only one parent is a witch, it shows at chid stage if the kid is a witch or not
- Possibly already magical hints at toddler stage
- Invitation to school with a letter
- Magic classes (Spells, Potions, ...)
- Castle or Manor type building (I'd like to see some English architecture)
- School uniforms with optional hats and cloaks
- Magical pets
