Boarding Schools (Also for witches, maybe?)

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
  

Great ideas!

Here are some ideas I came up with for the witches' boarding school:

• There could for example be magical gardening (a new gardening skill with new magical and dangerous plants, maybe also with a new "fertilizer" that makes them get enourmously large).
  
• It would be cool if there were secrets to uncover at the school grounds, hidden passages for example.
  
• I would also like new collectibles (maybe magical stones or trading cards).
  
• Jelly beans like from the Sims 3 would be nice, too. There could be a bean where Sims for example bark instead of talk for a certain amount of time (with fun reactions from others).
  
• I would also like to see some unique teacher NPCs there, not randomly generated ones.
  
• There could also be kind of a system where students get rewarded if they are good in class or do other things beneficial for the school and get punished if they don't show up in class or otherwise "break the rules" (as a punishment they must clean all the cauldrons, for example). Such a system would also be cool for a normal Education pack, actually.
  

The only problem I can see is that a boarding school for witches would probably not fit in a Witches GP (if done like Vampires). They could make it so that the Witches GP is needed for it, which would make sense, but I am afraid that people would complain as this would be a DLC for a DLC.
