For #4 we saw that the ferris wheel windows are gray like they are on the cars on the street so we won't be able to see our sims which is really disappointing, I would hope for something like the car from roaring heights where the top comes up when they woohoo but you can see them in the car at all other times :( Overall I'm actually pretty excited for this pack, brings some things back from generations but actually makes them playable and not rabbit holes!

You put together an awesome list! I picked out a few things that caught my eye...

1. Upstairs of the school (classes rabbit hole ): My guess is no it will be active just like the first floor. You'll be late to class constantly because of bottlenecks on the stairs though.

2. Need A rug/mat for cheerleading can’t just cheer at any place at any time…YOU WILL NEED THAT RUG OR MAT: It will be tied to some object in the same way that the hangout feature in werewolves is tied to the pack hangouts.

3. You may have new lockers but only one locker out of the row will be functional And will be somewhat of a rabbit hole type of gameplay: There will be limits but I don't think it will be just one, maybe two or three per set.

4.You can woohoo on the Ferris-wheel like you do with Leaf piles and bushes the riding part will be a rabbit hole. you can’t see yourself up there at all: I think it's already been confirmed that the Ferris wheel is a rabbit hole.

5. The haunted house will be a rabbit hole just like the Sims 3.: Yeah, I can't see that being active, sadly.

6.Only one special window from build buy will be functional for sneaking out not all windows will be updated with this feature. Agreed. Again there is a parallel to werewolves with the werewolf only door, this would be something similar

7. You cannot raise the window to get fresh air it’s only functional for sneaking out or sneaking in and I believe that will only be limited during certain times of the day or night I'm hoping that's something we could at least do with the window for sneaking, but if you can open them it will only be with windows from this pack so hopefully they have a more universal styling that can work in a lot of different building aesthetics.

10. Football and or basketball games will be rabbit hole just like university it will give you times you can attend/practice but you will not actually see any Sim team members playing the game on the field. Basketball and soccer don't really have any animations that would lend themselves to team play, and there's not much you can do with football in this game aside from maybe playing catch or kicking it, so sadly they will be rabbit holes.

12. The carnival area will be the same as the city living events (venders,live music ect..) As I stated before all rides/activities will be rabbit holes. (We may be asked questions to answer like we do at work) That's a really good comparison. Hopefully there will be lots of new activities there and not just a recycling of the things at the festivals in San Myshuno.

13 A little update will be added for cell phones far as texting or social media but not as overwhelmingly exciting as seen in video. Like others have mentioned I'm worried about the social media function becoming as intrusive as the phone calls we deal with now.

14. The prom will have some limitations on decorating I believe you may have a chance to decorate but not as hands on as we may think. I hope we get lots of options for really decorating the place up in a variety of themes. And I hope we can create our own themes too.

15. Graduation Will be half rabbit hole half gameplay (??) I think it will be all active/visible but it won't have a lot of depth or interaction. Then again they did make mention of Valedictorians so there should be some sort of option for making a speech or something. Maybe that's the one active element, if your sim is the Valedictorian she/he can make sort of speech with a few options you can choose from.

I personally agree with all the points you made.

I also think "Proms" will be extremely similar to the MWS wedding planning process.

But yeah, I think the carnival will be exactly like the festivals, as in lots of things to look at but not much to interact with besides seating and food stalls.

I think proms will just be re-used parties that we already have, the only difference being the decorations and it being teens only.

Even though it's a rabbithole it may be active like the haunted house in TS3 were you see little ghost going across the windows and lights flickering on and off. I hope so and maybe some scary music as well.

? hmmmm as we all know it’s a copperdale world map “leak”. O’kay so imo I believe the brownish/black building that sits beside the school is the actual building they used when showing a classroom/detention!!!

I know it sounds a bit crazy and sorta far fetched but idk I feel like the room that used with the dry erase board and desk for students…for some reason I believe it came from this building …

idk what’s going on on my end but for some reason I can’t upload the map photo or the other picture . Because it’s an up close picture of that room and if you look out the window you can see a brick white building hmmm ? maybe I am looking wrong and maybe what I see and feel is confusion!!! I need those two photos!!!

I STILL believe the school will be a special lot hmmm ? I need those photos!

Also we're getting new phone cases with various colors and designs.

1. Upstairs of the school no rabbit hole, there doesn't seem to be much space and I'm guessing we'll get a cafeteria, lockers, principal's office, computer room, clubrooms (chess) downstairs and classrooms upstairs.

2. Need A rug/mat for cheerleading agreed, I don't know if it'll be modular or have different sizes but in the trailer we could see a one person cheerleading rug in one of the bedrooms and a bigger one on the field.

3. You may have new lockers but only one locker out of the row will be functional maybe And will be somewhat of a rabbit hole type of gameplay I don't think so, decorating and pranking lockers are some of the options the official post discussed and they don't fit rabbit hole gameplay.

4.You can woohoo on the Ferris-wheel like you do with Leaf piles and bushes the riding part will be a rabbit hole. you can’t see yourself up there at all Agreed

5. The haunted house will be a rabbit hole just like the Sims 3. and so will be the tunnel of love ride. They'll probably give some moodlets though.

6.Only one special window from build buy will be functional for sneaking out not all windows will be updated with this feature. Agreed but I'm wondering if the sneaking out trellis could be used as a ladder.


7. You cannot raise the window to get fresh air it’s only functional for sneaking out or sneaking in and I believe that will only be limited during certain times of the day or night Hopefully sneaking out will be based on generations curfew. There's one picture in the post that shows a sim sitting on the open window so I'm hoping that'll also be an option.

8. The high school will work like special lots you can only attend doing school times/activities only….you can sit out on the grass and do anything in that school lot area during school times/activities only. I'm hoping that's not true. Sneaking in to pull out pranks should also be an option.

9. There will be an open class (downstairs) but will not function fully like a class how we would want them be and it’s mainly for detention like I stated before I believe upstairs will be for rabbit hole classes. I bet there'll be several open classrooms. I think they'll work similarly to the yoga class mats from Spa day with one object (whiteboard and teacher's desk) that'll delimit where you put the students' desks.

10. Football and or basketball games will be rabbit hole just like university it will give you times you can attend/practice but you will not actually see any Sim team members playing the game on the field. I hope not but it's the likeliest situation.

11. The bleachers are actually non-functional or limited only certain seating areas probably limited to certain events, NPCs will fill them based on a stablished animation.

12. The carnival area will be the same as the city living events (venders,live music ect..) As I stated before all rides/activities will be rabbit holes. (We may be asked questions to answer like we do at work) I believe the carnival area will be permanent and not just appear on certain sim days. I agree that we'll probably get event cards while riding on the tunnel of love/haunted house.

13 A little update will be added for cell phones far as texting or social media but not as overwhelmingly exciting as seen in video. Yes but I believe we'll also get phone cases.

14. The prom will have some limitations on decorating I believe you may have a chance to decorate but not as hands on as we may think. I think it'll be tied to a new lot type different from the high school so I think it'll be free building and proms will work similarly to weddings.

15. Graduation Will be half rabbit hole half gameplay (??) I think they'll be tied to the whole prom stuff like the new wedding mechanics.

I believe proms and graduations will be events similar to the weddings in MWS. We'll have to prompose or ask friends to go together to prom, find an outfit, select flowers (lapel/bracelet), select what activities have to be done during prom, set a later date for graduation, invite friends and family to graduation and select activities for graduation.

Thank you so much cat this is one of the photos....... but it's another one that shows inside the classroom and someone is writing on the board.
in that one you can see out the window and the white building..
