Suggestion for an expansion pack
With the new High School Years Expansion pack being so fun, I was wondering if a private boarding school pack could be made. It would be similar to the University pack, there’s a school with a small town, and teens are sent to live there for four years until graduation. (Or longer if you decide to turn off aging) There is also an option to have a “secret” boarding school - if you have the required extension packs, where you have to receive a letter to admitted, and all the “other” (mermaid, werewolf, vampire, spellcaster, etc) teens can attend to learn about their powers. I feel that this would immensely popular. Think Wednesday-ish with its little town next door. It seems that the majority of the parts already exist within the game, they just need to be combined into two new locations through the Manage Worlds option. I would love to have a boarding school option, as fun as University is - the teen drama is more entertaining. It’s just an idea. Thanks for everything! I have been a sims player since the first game out when I was in college (yes I am old)
@3133578a54c40463 you could kind of create a version of it. All you'd need to do is move in several teens from households. So they'd still have a family elsewhere but they'd need one adult on the premises and that would be your kind of lead character. They actually wouldn't need families really since you could just have one Adult/Young Adult and unrelated teens and that would still be fine.
To make a Head Teacher or something like that you'd just need to use "Register with Ministry of Labour". Give the school a name and then add that in their made up job title. Also give them the reward trait of "Mentor".
You could then have teens practising and learning from books, build your own dorms, etc. You could still invite their relatives to visit on set family days which you could add to the calendar.
You could even have them still go and stay with their parents at their original home (if they have one) by giving them the "Always Welcome" reward trait.
I mean, it would be quite a project to design and to play. But you could technically do something along those lines. It would be a bit of work so if you attempted it I'd build up reward points to give them some traits to help with managing all those needs, like hunger and hygiene and sleep, particularly for the lead character. Otherwise you'd get nothing done. Maybe suspend Wants and Fears too while it's in play as managing that many would be an uber challenge. If the school building met the requirements for "Mansion Baron" that would give them quite a few reward points at the start to help you out. You could hire Maids and if you have Vintage Glamour you could hire a Butler to help out too.
I have a pet project which is to kind of bend the rules of the game to add what's not quite possible. This one is giving me lots of ideas! Great suggestion!
