Crossâž•Pack Intergration?

I don't know if it's been covered already? or if I even mentioned before lol :D ... But I've heard since the recent release of High School🚸Years, that some functionalities from other packs were not integrated. I'm curious, like for example if you have the GP & EP Parenthood & University how much can you do? or it doesn't really make any enhanced changes to the game? It's a bummer because I remember from S2 & S3, pack integration, continuation & in the name, expansions really made the game, more fun. Nowadays it feels like a separate thing all together, & not as exciting to play.

    I appreciate the responses. Yeah, I figured there likely wasn't much, it's a shame really. Any mods that combine actions from other packs? like a Wicked Whims, or something like that, that someone did?

    There's really not much. I don't even know if they did anything with Parenthood and this pack. I've had this pack since release and nothing seems new.

    I don't know, thus far, about HSY, but I have to say that World Adventures in Sims3 didn't play nice with the other packs. I know because my Superstar and his bride got stuck in the world they visited for their Honeymoon. Every time I tried to have them return home, the game crashed. They were STUCK. I wrote about it in the Sims 3 forums and none other than Twallen, himself, answered my thread. He's the one who informed me WA wasn't playing nice with the other packs and suggested I use his Traveling mod to unstick my Sims. I was one who was afraid of even touching Boolprop in Sims2. But, I did a little reading up on mods and learned how simply they were to install and took his advice! Got my Sims back home safely.

    I have both of those game packs in my game. So far, Parenthood is functioning as it always has. Haven't sent anybody to Uni since HSY, as hello, they're in high school! There are way more interactions available in the game, now, so I have to respectfully disagree with your assessment.
