If we get a Teenagers GP...

I like to liberate my teens from school (and kids too) using a mod that makes school something you sign up for if you want it, otherwise it's just not an issue, and being freed from school, and able to work real jobs if they want to (another mod), my teens have it pretty good, get to up their skills, pursue their aspirations and fulfill them, study things, get exercise, learn to cook and other things, get ahead in careers or pursue meaningful hobbies and interests.

So...more hairstyles and fashion options, sure, I'd go for that, maybe a Stuff Pack for Teens that has room items, more music WAYYYY more music, need some choices! EDM, Dubstep, traps, posthardcore, lowfi, noise, ...and I would buy it.

But hard pass on the entire school package unless the Renegades could wreak havoc there instead! Maybe have some teen vamps run amok... no love was ever lost between institutional schools and me.

I'd like to see the ability to cut class and do fun things, with after school detention if the teen is caught. After school activities like sports and music. Private school available for both elementary and high school. Acne with applicable moodlet and rebellious mood swings and/or a rebellious trait.

There is a rebellious phase in parenthood. I usually use that to make my teens go through rebellious times.

I would rather they make a School EP with teacher career(assistant, librarian, computer teacher, grade school teacher, middle school teacher, highschool teacher, lower grade principal, high school principal, school board for retired teachers). A Sim making it to highschool teacher could get a job as a college professor, which could be opened up as playble for Uni owners. A simmer could stop on the career they want to teach. In addition, there could be boarding schools and home schooling. Also, there could be a preschool for toddlers & day care for infants. Both of those jobs playable. Elders could volunteer to help in the classrooms and with toddler skills. Haven't tried the babysitter job, but if isn't playable, then opening it up. CAS heavy for infants and preteens, who would attend the middle School and who would be patched in. The school district would include grade, middle, high schools. It would also have a preschool and daycare. There would be a playground also with merry-go-round, toddler riders, ECT. Learning aspiration would include dream of being a teacher.

If it's too much together, all of it could be an EP except the toddler/infants/daycare/preschool/playground toddler riders/playable daycare, babysitter, preschool teacher careers. All of that could be put in a GP along with playpen, strollers, walkers, infant mats, infant swing, infant back/ front carrier, more toys, infant chew toy, passies(square and round), and blankies.

Wow, I love your ideas!

I have my sims teenagers skip high school all the time and go out with friends, I made a group for that.
I even tested with one not sending him at all, he skipped every single day. There were absolutely no consequences, he wasn't kicked out, and there is no option to discipline this behaviour for the parents... This is clearly an oversight, they could've make them react the same way as when they are breaking the curfew.

I'd rather see a full Generations EP focusing on all the lacking stuff the life stages suffer from at the moment. (Including Babies, Teens, Elders).

A Generations EP is probably the only EP I am still looking forward to. The past releases haven't been that mindblowing to me.

I wouldn't mind a soul focused teenager game pack. But... I would hope that when it comes to something like open schools, having school activities such as after school programs, hobbies, sports, etc that they would also apply this to the child sims as well. And much like a lot of other simmers a well focused Generations pack would be ideal. I liked Sims 3 Generations and Sims 2 Hobbies. I miss my sims having those after school activities like: dance/ballet, art, debate, music, newspaper, shop, sports.

I miss these activities too: (which some of these apply to all age groups)
Karate
Surfing
Arcades (and Gambling... Lucky Palms)
Archery
Tinkering (building your car)
Soccer
Volleyball
Baseball and Football (being able to throw a ball together)
Tag
Marco Polo
Jumping on the bed
Sleepovers with sleeping bags
Hiking/Bug Catching (without having to go to Granite Falls)
Dance Kissing and photo booths and kiss selfies
Jump Rope and Skipping
Carnival Games
Snow Boarding
Bake Sale
Field Trips
Teaching teens to Drive
Seasonal Festivals (loved all the activities from Sims 3 that came with this)
Slow Dancing

Other things and Activities:
Strollers, Walking Canes and Rocking Chairs; Nectar Making; Pottery and Sculpting; Sewing and so much more...

I personally don't think teens need an entire GP just to themselves. I think they should be able to get a good content update from a Generations EP. Totally agreed on the school uniforms, though. I want that for both teens and kids so bad.

@ListentoToppDogg gurl, all life stages, besides young adults and adults, need at least one GP each to make them more interesting.

Yeah. I can't agree more. We just miss so many fun activities for our Sims, especially those you can do with friends and family (and not just limited to 2 Sims).

@Karon I mean, realistically, yeah that's definitely true, but I don't think there's any chance of that happening. Plus I'm not fan of a certain guru's idea to add content for all of the lacking lifestages separately through multiple different packs. Hence why I personally just feel like it's better to improve everyone (minus YA and A) through one Generations EP.
