High School Pack

I cannot add ideas because I've never been to school I was homeschooled. But i came to support this idea! I always had this highschool fantasy in my head since I always wanted to go, and I always wanted to go to high school with my sims.
Everyone is screaming university but adult sims have so many options already and so many careers we can follow them in. I would love a teen focused pack.
Everything you named sounds super fun!!

-introduction day. Sims get to introduce themselves to other sims

What's that? My schools never had anything like that.
On the first day of secondary school, we just started on the work.
On the first day of Senior school, there was orientation day, just to be sure everyone knew where their classrooms were, and where the library was. Nothing about introducing ourselves to anyone.

-wild teen parties

Pointless without cops.

This is what teenage wild parties do:

-after achool clubs such as chess, cheerleading, football.

Oh dear!
Are they really what you do after school?
The local school here has: Cricket, Soccer, Footy (Aussie rules football), Rugby, Netball, and Volleyball. Child protection, STEM with Uni, and YOP. None of which is specifically after school hours. The sports are a part of PE, and the others are squeezed in around other classes. When school ends, people go home.

-gym will not be a rabbit hole please.

I've never known a school to have a gym per se. Some have a building called a gym, but it's really an indoor sports-hall, for netball, basket ball, tennis, and laying on the floor wishing you were at home. And school assemblies.

study hall. A library where sims can brush up on all their courses and even do their homework if they so choose.

Never had that... We had free classes, where we could study, or waste time. I usually read scifi or fantasy novels, I was reading them at a rate of one every day or two, and they weren't small books.

-an opportunity for players to make their own after school clubs

That sounds like it's on it's way to a good idea.

-a big final exam -and a week to two weeks summer vacation depending on your choice of seasons lengths.

Ugh. Exams. Hated those.
And a two week break is what Aussie kids get at the end of each term, with a 2 month break at the end of the year, for christmas/summer.

-socials ranks (geek, jock, popular, loner, newbie, teachers pet)

Are these even real things? My school had the families, and not the families.

Oh and prom please. Prom king and queen!

Oh please no! Don't force that on everyone!
A school dance, that we can pick and choose the details of would be much better.

• Name your school dance whatever you like.
  
• Choose your venue
  
• Choose the music source and music genre
  
• Choose your catering
  
• Choose your theme
  
• Choose your dress code
  
• Choose your activities (this is where you could choose to have a coronation, or an award ceremony, or a birdie dance, or long boring speeches, or prizes for dances...)
  

Haha this doesn't sound anything like high school here. I don't recall any wild parties or football players or cheerleaders LOL. There was a soccer team though and a swimming club I think. And there was a problem but there wasn't any prom king or queen and definitely no introduction day.

I would like a high school, and especially a high school teacher profession, but I'd be even more interested in an elementary school

Also if you have the get-together pack you already can create your own after-school clubs with your own themes. Whether that be chess or homework or whatever

I think I'd add apply for scholarships, work experience, graduation, school cafeteria with new foods, detention, electives that raise diff skills with a few new ones.

Please no! Anything but High School Musical! lol it just brings back bad memories of my friend singing the songs out of tune.

I wouldn't want any of this as a pack, I think it should be a free update, as some of these things should of come in the base game or if they did a generations type pack again then it should go with that. I do like the idea of picking theme and colours for a school dance/prom, now that would be fun!
Wild teen parties are a little pointless, as someone said, unless cops/police were put back into the game then that would make it more fun.

End of year exams and grades could be a nice little twist on things but I would love to have after school clubs and school trips!

I still want my University EP but I would maybe think about buying this as a GP.

Never went to prom. So I enjoy the mods. Just would like an official game! :)

Besides me wanting a active class option that works similar to the yoga class where the students desks would lock onto the chalkboard/teacher I would love to see it all prom football cheerleading all a must.

I would basically want "University" in a way. where it is an active School.

Build the campus
Name the school
Choose the mascot, and school colors
Choose Teachers, and administration
Choose the school sport: What does the community unite over? Football? Soccer? Basketball? Baseball? Swim? etc.

And then Classes...
I would say like Active Careers: Detectives, Doctor, and Scientists.

Where you choose classes, and then throughout the say you get to decide how your student fulfills the goals designed for their "class schedule"

Like if you chose a Science You research/Do an experiment Building Logic Skill, English or any Language you practice your Writing and Reading Skill. History, Gym, Art/Painting Sketching/Photography and so on.

I want all of this since Most of my story does revolve around teens, and the setting is their school.

I have built their school, as a Library and a Soccer Court, I would love to play it out.

I'd Imagine Get Together to form clubs and after School Activities,
I would do:
Student Council
Drama Club
Art Club
Gamers' Club
Soccer Team
Wrestling Team
Swim Team

Loving this!

I just want my Sims to be able to recreate High School Musical. It's a high school pack but the clothes are all very 2000 and High School Musical esque because yes!

I assume you don't live in the USA!

I don't like the cheerleading idea in the Me too era, unless we get everybody doing it and those ranks of Jock, nerd, popular, loner etc are really not on when there is so much bullying in schools. Libraries and gyms, ok (I got a letter from my mum not to do it which lasted 4 years)!

No Proms, Please.............! Rich privilege and puts poor in debt trying to keep up. (Could make a good storyline though)!
