Cross➕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 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.

    There's a few things but not a lot.

    I noticed Sims actually get autonomously reprimanded by their parents now if they break curfew.
    -Sims that drop out of high school can't go to Uni like at ALL.
    -You can go to Uni as a teen if you graduate early.
    -A lot of careers aren't available when you are a drop out from high school
    -Can make things like a cheer leading club with Get Together

    Still poking around and seeing what else comes up. :3

    Haven't noticed too much in terms of holidays with Seasons and the liek with seasons (Nothing too special like happening on love day for the most part)

    Can I ask:

    Which careers become unavailable (or which careers are left available if that's easier) if a sim drops out?

    And on the other hand, can Teen sims who graduate early get a job? (Like a real adult job)
