I'm curious how High School Years will integrate with other packs.

I think High School will last as long as your sims are teens.

But I'm also curious about how this will integrate with other packs. Drama Club comes to mind as well. (I actually expect no changes to that)

And while they said there's some impact on University, we can't see what that is until the Gamechangers get regular access to add the pack into their regular games.

I wonder how it will integrate with Get Together. I especially want to know if we can use the school as a meeting place in off hours

I would like to know this too, in addition to whether we can hold club gatherings while at school. I'd also love it if we could set the school as a club hangout, so I could have more control over the other Sims on the lot by creating groups of Sims for my teens to interact with e.g. jocks, bullies, etc.

Considering we get yet another social media app and the ability to stream I do not think there will be that much integration

i hope we can make cliques in the school using get together-- mean girls: sims 4 edition

It would be cool if professors and administrators from Discover University could show up as NPCs at school, but I won't get my hopes up. Knowing this game, it's much more likely that we'll see Eliza Pancakes and the usual gang of unemployed sims show up as teachers and in other positions once the premade staff has died or become played sims.

Also, I wonder how the pack will handle teenage celebrities if you also have Get Famous installed. Will teachers interrupt their own lessons to marvel at the star student in their classroom? I can definitely see it happen... (although I really, really hope not.)

I'm sure you can, with the club system.

I want to know how graduation works on rotation.

Im very hopeful that sims will be able to gain fame through Trendi and the new part time careers for them.

From what I've seen and read, the HSY after school activities function similar to the drama club, IE rabbit hole activities, which isn't surprising for the football team - the game has a hard cap on the number of Sims that can spawn on a lot, which is apparently 20, which despite not knowing anything about American football, I think isn't enough for all the players on the field, let alone the players off the field, the coaching staff, the referees and the spectators. In addition, it would've required way too many animations for something not that many people will get enjoyment or gameplay out of (though I thought that about a high school pack, but here we are).

Instead, the playable bits seem to be more of the school engagement/activity recruitment thing (I couldn't really tell, all I've seen is the football/cheerleading one (slight tangent, but it sort of annoys me that the big game changers' videos always focus on the cosmetic/superficial things first - build/buy, cas, world, and, lore - and have their gameplay videos come out days later), and that's pretty much it.

The more impactful thing is, as others mentioned, if we are able to use the school or auditorium as club hangouts, as that seems like a much better way to have an art club, study club, cooking club etc than the after-school activities.
