Sims 4 high school years
Hello🙂 So I don't actually have the sims 4 but I'm getting it in a couple of years and I'm just wondering is the sims 4 high school years expansion pack worth buying? If people could reply with h...
As always, this depends on your playstyle. I like being able to go to school with my teens! but also it gets repetitive after a while. I'm also mostly using Social Bunny as an exploit; 20 friends for Friend of the World? just add 20 people to Social Bunny. Also if you want to maintain relationships with extended family Social Bunny is your friend. That said, yeah, the actual app is SUPER REPETITIVE; the same canned messages over and over.
If you're all about the family gameplay, this pack will probably please you, though! Before this pack I didn't find teens particularly well-rounded and felt they didn't have a lot to do. If, instead, you're all about adult gameplay and careers, Discover University might do better for you because of the advantages it gives your Sim in their career.
If you're mostly about the CAS or BuildBuy, I'm probably not the best person to ask 😉 but there are a lot of items and they're good! Gameplay-wise, there are some annoying bugs and some parts that get old if you do them all the time, but it's mostly fun. Some of this is that I mostly play goody-two-shoes well-behaved college prep Sims LOL and there are a lot of troublemaking/pranking aspirations and features I haven't used much (although yeah some are bugged--sneaking out of the house for the Live Fast aspiration, etc.). BUT, with all that said to manage expectations I think it's worthwhile.
(I, er... bought it in a fit of gratitude after they removed some items from the Gallery that were... um... inappropriate, especially towards my particular cultural group. So my expectations were not incredibly high, but they were met.)
