High School Years Positive Thoughts Thread

What I'm wondering is if we have to go to that one school lot in the new world. I know a lot of players would be upset about that. I do want to make my own school but one school only wouldn't bother me that much. I'm sure the team thought of all the possibilities and designed it in the best possible way within their limitations. I will definitely still have fun with it no matter how it works!

One feature that is missing from the game is that there were never any teen couples anywhere in the game together? Yet, you would always see the older life stages out with their significant other or their spouses at restaurants.

I spent a lot of time going around creating a lot of teen relationships with the hope of seeing them around town or on dates at restaurants. So, I'm hoping that this is rectified with the base game update and the release of High School Years. With all the new teen hang out spots and cross pack gameplay, I'm hoping to see teen couples going on dates together and hanging out with each other around town and at school.

They have like first crushes or something but I want to be able to hold hands while walking, lock arms with friends while walking. Kiss on head or cheek or hand cute little romantic stuff.

We finally got sitting on the floor!! ? and pillow fights!! Maybe one day we can get that too!! I've longed for those things you mentioned. It's the little details that make it so sweet and meaningful! Simmers really appreciate details ?

I really like it! Everything looks exciting! Photo booth is back! Also, one of the poses in the photos, ILY (I LOVE YOU) sign language is showing unless it is a rock and roll gesture, but I think it is a ILY sign, which is interesting that they include that.

Oh yeah I screamed when I saw that love you sign!! Me and my brother always do that. ?

What type of teens are you planning on making or have in your game? I typically have a mixture from all categories.

Geeks

Cheerleaders

Jocks

Skaters

Outsiders/Loners

Hipsters

Preps

Nerds/Brainiacs

Mean Kids

Emo/Goth Kids

This is giving me some food for thought.
I was so busy building my academics scenario, I haven't really put much thought about a diverse social group range.
I mostly have Geeks/Nerds, Preps, and Creatives.

Models are now a thing in my game, because they are related to my Style Influencer and Photographer sim, and a custom Model career.
I can see some of them being cheerleaders. I do have a mean kid, but she is more a defensive meany than offensive.
She's a hot head and just reacts to how others treat her.

:) This will probably be next generation territory for me.
I am just now working up to establishing a world of young adults the rest of my teens will finish it off.
There will be a lot of children to fill the schools.

One positive thing about this pack is it's bringing heart shaped roofs and arches to the game.

I am super excited! I see a lot of Art Deco influence which I love! The gameplay looks stellar. I do hope rabbit hole school will still be possible, I feel like it will. I am curious to know if high school will be a lot type. If so I will divide my game into regions and try to have one per region. The CAS and BB catalogs look absolutely fabulous and it seems like Prom Decor and Wedding decor will be highly mix and matchable along with luxury party stuff, we can create nearly limitless large fancy events now. I am really curious how this new Trendi app will work too, and I am hoping the texting feature we saw isn’t just trailer magic. I was not at all excited about a high school pack but the trailer changed my mind and I can see this pack expanding parts of my game far beyond high school too.

I hope the ice cream stand sells new things like banana splits, sundaes and maybe snow cones, popsicles, fudgesicles, etc.
Something in the carnival area has to sell funnel cakes, right?
I wonder if there will be stereotypical cafeteria food on trays. Or if the cafeteria will have salad/snack bar options. They definitely mention the cafeteria specifically so I think it may be a part of the school you can actually play in and not a rabbit hole. If so I wonder if there will be food fight options.

I am pretty sure those are part of the rabbit hole building mesh and will not come as build elements in the pack. You can do heart shaped roofs with the platform tool.

I really like all of the new hairs. One of my many plans is to give makeovers and revise some of their traits to fit their new look and personality.

That hair with the hairband would have been lovely without the spaghetti things, they make her look like a catfish.

I want Molly and Kevin in my game. I already feel attached to them after seeing the trailer. :)
I hope they're going to be premades or at least in the gallery. My Sims want to be friends with them (and also with Sidney).
