@Briana2425 I agree, I also want more activities for teens. I also want prom, homecoming game/dance, ditch day, and graduation!! Especially with the new holidays/events system they brought with Seasons, I think it would be so cute to have a little grad party for your sims!! I also really love your idea about study groups!!

Also, please bring back slumber parties!!

On a side note, I don't think drivers tests are needed since we don't use cars to travel anymore.

I hope they don't make it too American, since a lot of players are from different countries. They did it in TS3 which rubbed me the wrong way sometimes

I see what your saying and I respect it but in my opinion and this is my personal opinion at the end of it all the game is american it's going to incorporate especially with the creator what they see and what they know in their every waking life. That's like myself knowing I'm playing a game made from another country saying I don't like it because it's to much that country It's made from that country so what ever they see and know it's going to inspire the game.

On the other hand it's not like the Sims haven't incorporated any culture or countries at all? In the Sims 4 not only is Christmas is there but Kwanza and Chanukah is incorporated. Dia de los muertos Day of the dead was incorporated. Festival of lights from India is incorporated (I think that's what it means.)

The fact that they have incorporated making your own holiday and them doing research on other cultures is why I'm positive they won't make it completely American. Scouts is also something present in my country in example, but not Thanksgiving. In TS3 you had most holidays forced on you. Now I don't feel that's the case anymore.

I'm not mad about it, I'm aware they are an American company. But if they say they try to be inclusive and don't follow up on it, it'll be very disappointing.

Ok your not talking about the holidays your talking about school activities prom, graduation, and I think homecoming Sims 3 had. Do I want that back yeah because it was fun and it gave teens something to do outside of both school and being at home now should there be an option of going or not going to prom/school dances yeah since sometimes I don't want to go to the late night dance parties that Sims call my Sims around midnight.

Inclusive? what exactly are you asking?

Because the Sims Franchise has been cultural or implementing that represented a culture from the beginning at least for me. I played on console first Sims Bustin Out, Sims Urbz, Sims 2 on console. In my first PC game was Sims Castaway. Sims 2 PC Bon Voyage had what looked like the Hawaiian Island, and a place that looked like China. Sims 3 had World Adventure you traveled to Egypt, France and China again. Sims 4 Jungle Adventure is introducing Latin Culture the jungle adventures location seem like it takes place some where in South America. Now I learned that South America have jungles and other things.

I'm making comparisons, that's why I talked about the holiday system. They could do a system of school traditions, where you make your own school traditions and school trips. Instead of calling it prom, just call it a school dance/ball. Being able to choose what you wear for graduation and costumazing the outfit.

Vacation worlds are not relevant to this discussion, nor are console games. I'm talking about everyday life of our Sims, like school and holidays and activities. But I have to agree that selvadorada, and TS3 vacation world were representative of those cultures.

And I'm not saying TS4 isn't trying to be inclusive, they are going great in my opinion! It was TS3 that was not inclusive of different traditions and cultures in my eyes. That's why I hope they don't repeat that.
