Expanded Education

An EP for this should include Prep School, Public Schools, Private Schools, AND Boarding Schools.

Allow for summer breaks (not all at the same exact time) as each school type so Public School kids can be on break 2.5 sim months while Private & Boarding School kids are on break for 3 sim months or 2.5 sim months but started later/earlier than the Public School kids. Have Parents & students of Prep/Private/Boarding school kids be automatically snobbish the more the snob interactions get used the more different and meaner ones become available to the point they can eventually be classified as a “bully”. When attending Boarding School you only come home for Summer break and Christmas break (2 sim weeks for all kids/teens).

Popups for players to assign names to up to 7 schools and assign school types. Venues auto exist and get named after players assign names at startup of using the pack. Be able to have teaching jobs for each school type that can work it’s way up to being a Dean, Headmaster, or Principal. School uniform can be put together like the work outfits in CAS.

5 different summer camps for kids to have the option to attend:
1) Band Camp
2) Science Olympiads
3) Mathletes
4) Summer Camp
5) Summer School

When sims have D’s And F’s in school they can be required to attend summer school or fail out of their grade. If sim kids/teens fail out of their grade level have a trait assigned so other sim kids/teens and adults know and react according to their individual traits. For example, snobs will mock and make fun of, mediators & compassionate sims try to comfort and encourage, etc.
  • I just want University - as my sims cannot go to school with their kids so I don't see the point. So if they did provide any other education like that they need to be a shut off for those of us who know you can't be in three places at once. Last I heard this game does not do toggles so perhaps they will make separate games for those of us that just want Uni. with another just for the kids. Unless you only have one child and are independently wealthy or cheat - which I never would do either - how would you go to all the childs schooling and camps - have a life and make a living. Also having more than 1 child would also be impossible as you can only go with one.

    But University only needs the student - and you the player - the home gets mostly ignored when students are in college and all they have to do is go to University. Speaking of which I also hope Sims can stay at Uni - like Sims 2 was and not the way Sims 3 stayed just 2 weeks at a time or 1 week. That was annoying. I still go back and play Sims 2 Uni all the time - not so much Sims 3.
  • I request things to challenge the Sims crew to strive to better themselves. ;)
  • no thank you i clearly do not went to see these features in the sims4 unless they include toggles to turn off these features ingame

    In view of how broken the game is at present, implementing the OP's ideas would only make things worse. The devil is in the details, and the current crew is lackluster when it comes to such things.

    A worthy motive, though better suited for the TS2 guys - who probably could have done it.
