Questions about HSY pack for those who have it

I recently purchased the pack on the sale, so I don't have a lot of playtime with it yet, but one thing I immediately noticed after installing this pack is that it does an excellent job of streamlining a lot of the teen gameplay and experiences. Similar to how Realm of Magic has the magic realm, a location that provides spellcasters with everything they need to do what spellcasters do either solo or amongst one another, High School Years does for teens. Playing with teens is a lot more effortless than before, and that's not to mention all the other details and additions teens recieved in the pack. I've also noticed myself using the new Social Bunny feature to manage my sims' relationships, to keep in touch with others, and to build relationships overtime without ever needing to have face to face interaction. Perfect for loner sims in my opinion.

I like a lot of the CAS for teens, and there are some really cute bedroom sets. I don’t like the way the thrift store is so limited, and the same with Trendi, I don’t think that was thought out well. But, I think the Boba tea was a cute idea, and the part time jobs. I haven’t played the school since Growing together came out, but I was having no problems with school when I was playing teen families. The Prom was great. School went fine. I’m glad we can change the school lot around, and the prom lot. I personally don’t like that the fair is all rabbit hole, and, that others sims don’t show up there, but, it’s something for sims to do and a sim can invite friends or family there.
