Pack Suggestion: Homeschool Expansion

I love so many of these ideas.  

I would also love the ability to write books (and home-schooled assignments…) in a notebook when playing off-grid.

Your ideas are great! @AshleighLanghein 🙂  Having home schooling would add a lot to the game, and would also build up relationships between the children and their family. 

I would also love to add forest school as a lot type the kids can go to that also doubles up as a career option for a daycare style profession. 

in the homeschool expansion I think a purchasable “homeschool supplies” cupboard that has all the options associated with it & the animation of the kids taking each item out. I don’t want it to be all book work based, I would love it to have hands on learning as that would be more fun for gameplay & aesthetics. Think Montessori, waldorf, Reggio, waseca biomes style

i love your ideas, i also want a private school (or whatever those are called just like in The Sims 2) with school uniforms and all but i can't think up about something what else needs to be added though

i wished all school types were in one school pack but it's what it is i guess

i'm open with your ideas, some kids in real life where i live are home schooled, i'd love to have that in the game

I got curious & had a look 3.7 mil kids are homeschooled in the USA (I’m not from the USA). That’s a pretty big number, but from what I’ve seen even more wish they could be or could homeschool their own kids. It would work so well for family gameplayers. We have our “active career” version of school, now we need an “at home” career version. Just like the adults.

I do feel like most of the people in production aren’t family game players surprisingly. I mean look at how long growing together took to came out! Plus I don’t think the concept of homeschooling would be on their radar. They might think it’s only one extreme political view point, when my research says it’s pretty evenly distributed among all the political view points (both sides protecting from the other 😂). If they grew up in the 80s & 90s they would probably think it’s some rare concept that shouldn’t be in a pack & not even know that’s it’s exploded so much & is very popular! Heck this idea would even work for most of the history themes people play out.

I see it being so wholesome, filling some needed gaps & including a large group of people they may not even know about!

i saw this awhile back and for more school options even an online and homeschooling, i say it's a great idea to include it in The Sims 4

we need more school options such as like private or boarding school (or both)

i created a pack based on children going to elementary/primary school
can we have a school pack based on children? | EA Forums - 11172051 

rabbit-hole or not, i definitely want a active school for little kids and a world completely based on the children gameplay, i hope the team consider creating a pack based on children

i had some school ideas awhile back in this link

School pack ideas | EA Forums - 12076667 

and home schooling your kids is one of them on the list

i know it's mentioned by others but what if we have a option to home school the kids?
children and teenagers and if preteens get added (never say never) i want a home
schooling options for preteens too

adult sims can do a freelancer career to become a teacher to its own child/children
and just like with some events the list pops up you need to fullfill

maybe a sim with a freelancer career can visit other household to give others an advice how to home school their kids? or like maybe answer the mail on a computer with the freelancer category? (just a thought) i can understand if your sim can't do that during work but maybe after work if you need to accomplish the freelancer career job just like most of the (rather normal) career jobs?

some items that can be usefull for children and teens (and possibly preteens if this lifestage gets added)

it needs atleast 1 aspiration and maybe possibly in the family category?

adult sims and/or parents can have teachers skills so they get more experiences how they can teach their kids better with its lessons (even in sims life feedbacks are more then welcome, maybe as a interraction adult sims can ask other sims for feedbacks how to become a better teacher to their kid(s) at home)

before home schooling the kids, it should be optional on the phone and the question pops up if you're so sure you want your kids to home school them so it has 2 options to answer "yes or no" if the answer is yes, your kid(s) are officially home schooled, it does needs to do homework just like non-home schooling kids do though

write an essay during lessons

Having homeschool category options on a computer for teenagers and little kids (and maybe preteens if it ever get added) and video games you can actually learn from

awhile back, 2 years ago if not mistaken i created a pack idea based on little kids, you should take a look at it can we have a school pack based on children? | EA Forums - 11172051 but it's in a seperate pack and more like an Expansion Pack

home schooling should be in a game pack rather than an Expansion Pack and a new world isn't necessary on this one since in my opinion you can home school your kids in each worlds

i don't have any more ideas, maybe a notebook home schooling kids can write in for some lessons? other than that i don't have any ideas

the reason i don't mention most things that could match with little kids is because most of the things got mentioned in my another post that's linked in here but do tell me if i miss anything that match with my pack ideas because i have so little ideas based on a home schooling pack ideas

i came up with this idea because someone once mentioned to me about having home schooling pack or basegame update and i remembered 5 years ago when we had a lockdown because of covid children and teens were forced to be homeschooled so i was like "why not making a pack about being home schooled?" so here i am having ideas about a home schooling pack
