⚠️ Realistic Teen Life Pack – Drama, Dating, Mental Health & More ⚠️

Hey simmers & Sims Team!

So I’ve been playing with High School Years and I love the vibe, but I seriously feel like we need a Realistic Teen Life Pack that adds the mess, chaos, and actual depth to the teen stage. Let’s be real — teens in real life go through way more than school dances and football games 😭

 

Here’s my idea:

 

 

---

 

🌪️ Messy Teen Gameplay

 

Teen pregnancy (with real consequences, parenting stress, school impact)

 

Vaping, sneaking out, skipping school, fake IDs

 

Clubbing + parties with drama

 

Risky woohoo with pregnancy chances

 

Reputations that matter (like being labeled “popular” or “the troublemaker”)

 

 

 

---

 

💔 Dating & Social Life

 

Tinder-style dating app for casual crushes, hookups, ghosting, heartbreak

 

“Talking stage,” cheating, messy breakups

 

Social media pressure (obsessed with followers, being bullied online, etc.)

 

Friendships that actually fall apart with moodlets and impact

 

 

 

---

 

🧠 Mental & Emotional Realism

 

Anxiety, burnout, low confidence, overthinking

 

Moodlets like “Comparing myself,” “Feeling left out,” or “Mentally checked out”

 

Therapy or counseling options at school

 

Journaling, venting, crying, shutting down socially

 

Growing up in toxic homes (strict or cold parents, sibling favoritism)

 

 

 

---

 

🧠 Why It Matters:

 

This would make teen gameplay 100x more interesting for players who love family stories, realism, and character development. It doesn’t need to be dark or heavy all the time — it can be meaningful, relatable, and still super fun.

 

Let teens FEEL like teens. Not just young adults in hoodies.

 

Please EA… give us drama 😭

Who else would play this kind of pack?? let’s talk 👇

  • Vaping is the equivalent of smoking a pack a day.

    I highly doubt that Elctronics Arts or The Sims will allow this harmful action in my game.

    I am thankful for this.

    Personal vices are Not what this game is about from teen to 50+.

    So what you really want is to up the rating of the game? That is all I am seeing with the entire list you have given. All these suggestions would only work if the game was rated Mature or Adult Only. These suggestions do not fit under the current Teen rating.
