Personally I don't really think playable schools will be that entertaining at all. I am assuming that it's going to work exactly like the GTW/active careers where you go to a building and get repetitive tasks all the time.

-Make homework
-Ask for help
-Research blablabla
-Take food from the cafetaria
-Go to the toilet

Repeat

Personally I do not think that is entertaining gameplay at all. If they are going to do playable schools, i'd rather have them give Simmers full control and freedom, because I can tell you that by the time that pack is a week or maybe two old, Simmers will be bored already and it becomes a nuisance and people don't bother with it anymore.

I think adding onto the schooling system is not a bad idea at all, but please, I hope they will add that as a more minor feature to a Generations EP instead and give kids (and all life stages) more to do when they are not at school.

But to each their own, we will see!

I think what would make it more interesting is having drama. Social cliques, bullying, pulling pranks on teachers, popularity, gossip. I could see the return of the social groups from Sims 3 University too. Things like that would elevate a pack and make it more interesting.

I and a lot of other people like active careers and would like active schools
I like gtw and get famous and think a school pack would be fun
they could also add home schooling and I would really like it if they brought back the headmaster and prom

That's a totally fair point.

I don't know, I personally got bored quite quickly of the active GTW careers because to me they were to linear and goal oriented.
However, I'm sure there are people that don't care about that and still having a lot of fun.

We will see what happens. I hope we will get more information about the pack next month.
