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 s...

I think a boarding school could be more diversified than "just" joining them to school... it would be a fresh Sims experience which I do find exciting. Still, I'd like an Education EP like I quoted above as well. Maybe an Education pack could be one thing and boarding schools could be added with a University pack.
I did not mean witches would be solely attached to schools - that would not be good. And also it would not need to be (and if they made it, it surely wouldn't be) a mere copy of Hogwarts. There is more that could be added to magical boarding schools and certain things would likely be changed or sims-ified. :smile:
That are amazing ideas! Some of them could possibly also be implemented in a Witches GP.
I agree with you about the problem of a magical boarding school fitting in... maybe, once they have gathered a couple of supernaturals, it could be made as a supernaturals' boarding school. Still, that would require one to own the respective packs again. I mean, it would only make sense to get a pack for a boarding school for occults, if one already has occults in the game. Oh well, this is getting complicated. I guess, that's the disadvantage of splitting things up into several packs - it's difficult to add things separately as a single pack would require a previous one instead of having it all in one.

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.
