With the recent sale High School Years is 50% off. I have avoided this pack for a long time and have zero interest in teens. I personally enjoy playing supernaturals but from time to time also families (especially the younger ages). I already shortened the lifespan of teens back in the sims 2 days. I HATE how without telling us the teen lifestage was prolonged and became dis-proportionally long compared to the child lifestage when this pack was introduced . Just to nudge is into buying this pack. But here I am considering it after all. The world and Build Buy just looks so pretty. If I could get the items without the gameplay I would go for it right away.
But I have a a few questions
How bad is the body hair issue. I know there is no global on/off switch. I would have to go through every sims to disable it sim per sim. Has anyone done this? How long does it take for townies to all become hairy? If there is any mod to completely turn this off, I am willing to give it a try.
They don't. Your played sim may become harry if you turn it on, or if they age up with body hair, but I just turn it off for active sims when it comes up and I never see it again.
Crushes: how do they work. Will my played sims have crushes on others or will other sims get crushes on my sims. Are there any repercussions if I don't act on them? Will sims automatically gain love interests? I hope not. Is this only for teens?
There's a small chance that your teen sim will get a random crush, but most of the time, at least in my experience, you need to actually interact with the sim. You'll occasionally get wants related to the crush, and a few moodlets if you're arround the subject of the crush, but otherwise you can ignore them. There's also a "try to get over crush" interaction in there somewhere.
Social bunny: again no global on/off option, has to be toggled sim by sim. How intrusive is this feature. Does it mess up my sims relationships.
It can be ignored, honestly. In my experience it only "messes up" relationships in that 1) you can build relationships with it that shouldn't be possible, but that requires actively using it, and 2) you will continue to build friendhips with your social bunny circle, along with occasional relationship change icons floating around. 3) you'll occasionally get tense, angry, or embarassed moodlets from an autonomous post... but you have to have your sim actively use it at least once or twice before those hit.
Has the issue with not being able to plan holidays been resolved?
As far as I can tell, yes.
I heard teens kicked out of high school can never re-enroll, is this true?
This I don't know, as I've never tried to have it happen.
Any bugs or glitches I should be aware off?
Sims will sometimes show up at your house to ask your teen sim to prom (usually as friends) or to be best friends, or even boyfriend/girlfriend if their romance is high enough. Even if it's the middle of the day, and your teen sim is at school/work.
That's the main one that bothers me currently, though it's not as bad as it was right after the pack came out.
I'm sure there are others, but they're not intrusive enough into my play for me to take notice.
