If they ever do a school pack like this I definitely don't want them to focus on the academic part as much as the actual teenage experience side of things. It would be fun to add tons of ways to create your own version of a high school drama. I already play my game like a soap opera after all!
I guess I was hoping to create school more like it was for me. The thing is, where I went to school, the academic part WAS the actual teenage experience of high school... haha! I guess that's why I'd like it to be the focus. I don't recall any drama or anything that looks like a high school in movies etc. SPorts weren't important though some kids played on teams (definitely no one would ever watch a high school sports game though, maybe a small handful of parents might show up... if it was a bigger game), there were no cliques, we studied, ate lunch with friends, studied some more, did homework. For the most part everyone got along and homework/learning was easily the main focus.
I didn't really experience too much drama myself either. I should have added that I meant TV SHOW drama! There are endless TV shows and movies that revolve around high schools and teenagers. Since Discover University so heavily focused on academics and school work, it would be a much better idea to mainly focus on the teenage years as messy and dramatic and a fun gameplay avenue for a game like Sims!
EDITED TO ADD: What if they released a game pack simply called TEENAGERS??! They could seriously pack in a ton of gameplay to fall under that age range. However, maybe it would be best to have a game pack that would focus on CHILDREN and TEENAGERS! But what would we call that pack??
