Probably Fairies or Werewolves based on the hints we've been getting.

Ever since they had that survey where they asked which life stage we thought needed improvement and teens weren't on the list, I have assumed a teen based pack was coming. If it has prom and HS graduation spring would be a good time to release it. I can't see a teen only world though, so maybe it will be fairies after all.

I’d laugh if it was high school plus werewolves! Teen Wolf!

Gamepack: something similar to The Sims 2 - Freetime with new skills like sewing, pottery, glassblowing, some sports or outdoor activities

The Kit, a garden related

I'm still thinking it's going to be centered around the teen life stage. That could include high-school, bands, after-school cheer-leading, malls, etc.

Personally, I hope that it's not just school focused, and gives more activities for teens to do at home or with friends.

If it's a GP it's probably just the high school if it's that. My issue with the active type careers of TS4 is how extremely repetitive they can get with awful event tab goals. "Pick three apples" type gameplay... isn't really gameplay imo. What makes the scientist career more fun though is the whole crafting aspect of it and getting breakthroughs as if you're leveling a skill. So we'll see. I hope they don't just re-use the GTW/GF formula to do highschools.

Why is everyone expecting a school pack when the devs avoided all classroom gameplay in University? If such pack brings TS3 only rabit holes I don't need it.

american highschool was mentioned on survey which also had snowy escape questions so its possible something related to american highschool might be coming soon

though i personally would have about thousand other themes over school

I'm looking forward to a School Pack. They need to focus less on completing tasks and more of the drama of school- gossip, cliques, school clubs, dating, prom, etc. That would be interesting.

If it's just read 3 books and write 3 essays, just completing boring tasks, than that would be pretty boring.

So in essence what people want is a school pack without the actual school. A decorative set piece to fulfill their 90210/OC/Riverdale stories.

The university packs get away without the actual university simply because the focus is on activities outside of lectures. Schools in contrast are very much more structured and lead by another person before going home. In order to make school gameplay compelling, they would have to pretty much strip out anything that would identify it as a school.

In my opinion, the Sims is more about domestic situations, and youth activities in game would be better fulfilled with places such as skate parks, arcades and other such hangouts and activities.

And I can already imagine the complaints that all prom is is just s time limited night club for teenagers with a punch bowl instead of a bar.

I've been quietly stalking these forums for years but finally decided to cave and sign in to join in on the discussion.
I really do not understand the appeal of having an active school. I think I'm showing my age. I'm out of college and have no desire to relive high-school through my sims like that. I also don't enjoy active careers that much. They are fun to play here and there but as others have said, it gets really repetitive very quickly and with the sims 4 not being an open world, it's super frustrating trying to play an active career in a household of more than one or two sims. If I want to join my sims for work, I have to abandon all the other sims in the household and whatever they are doing to do that.
I would love a gamepack aimed at teens and kids. I want my kids and teen sims to have more hobbies, after-school activities, and events like graduation and prom would be great. I think implementing more playable objects like a ballet bar, something for martial arts, a skateboard, and more instruments would add a lot to everyday gameplay and a lot of the rest would be fine as a rabbithole with some text posts and souvenirs like they did in the Sims 3 Generations. I've bought nearly all the dlcs for the sims 4 thus far but if they included active schools as the main feature of a pack aimed at younger lifestages, I would be extremely split on buying it as I have no interest in that feature at all.

I apologize for the text wall above. I can't quote yet as a new member (even though I've had this account for like 10 years).

Probably be Fairies Gameplay Pack & Royalty Outfits & Accessories Kit.
