Questions after the HSY Livestream

I am really looking forward to this pack. In TS2, I used to send my teens off to college as soon as they were able to get a scholarship, so I didn't play much with teens. In TS3, they went to a rabbithole prom (and occasionally were the only ones there), and graduation, but that was it. And in TS4, I've usually been aging them up as soon as they had an A average. Anyway -- questions:

Will the tags for clothing likes and dislikes be applied to all articles of clothing or just those in the expansion pack?
How will this mesh with Parenthood? Specifically --
Will my teen be able to enter a project in the Science Fair?
Will my teen be more inclined to sneak out of the house if the family has a curfew?
Will getting detention have an impact on my teen's character traits?
If I'm playing with long life, will high school last 8 weeks or 2 weeks?
Is cheerleading a separate skill or does it just contribute to fitness?

I'm sure other people have questions too.

  • Can my sim become the principal?
    What happens if a decide to go with only one of my teens? They said all teens go to this high school, so would I see them going to class on their own or they’ll go to a separate rabbit hole?
  • Can we separate the thrift store from the tea shop? Or do they always have to be together?

    As @alexspoom13 asked above, I'd also like to know if we can hold club gatherings at the school (and also the prom building).

    I know kids can't pillow fight with teens, but can they pillow fight with other kids?

    Does the photo booth produce actual photos? I watched someone on YouTube and she never got any pics on her inventory after using it.
  • @elanorbreton Deligracy uploaded a video today a build using round walls and the lot type was specifically “thrift and bubble tea shop” ? kind of a shame, I guess if you want a thrift store it’ll have to be a retail using GTW

    Considering that when you play the household of the principals daughter the mother stops being the principal I doubt it.

    According to those with early access, there are three traits coming with the pack. Why only mention Socially Awkward and ignore the others (especially Party Animal, which was seen in the livestream)?

    Football seems... like it seems... But can children play with it?

    What's with the bubble tea peer pressuring thing? I really didn't know it was a popular thing because it isn't available in most of the towns in my country. Plus I'm too focused on playing The Sims to think about some bubble tea thingie. I really don't get the hype. I should try one myself so see what's the hype in that... if I find one...

    Can children use sneaking out window? Well... how many new objects in the pack are useable by children? I really like when children can use things that were previously limited to adults (hot tubs, football tables etc).

    Any fears that require another DLC?

    How does each important room work in the high school lot? For example, what objects does the classroom require for game to see it as a classroom?

    How does the career event look like?

    Will the school principal change when I play with the principal's household?
  • I still have questions even after the livestream. If you know any of the answers or also have questions i would love to hear them

    1. Can you make a teachers' lounge? I noticed the principal eating with the students i think they need their own area.
    2. How does the school year work? i play with aging off will all my sims be freshman or something?
    3. I see a lot about the prom being every week, can we delete it and set it on the day we want?
    4. Can we create our own events in the auditorium?
    5. You can shave facial hair and the back, can sims shave leg and arm hair?
    6. What happened to acne? Was a wash face option added?
    7. Were the teachers automatically generated? Can we appoint our own?
    8. Will Discover University get a update adding football cheerleading and chess organizations? (would be nice to have one active class but i doubt it)
    9. Is their new interactions between parent and teens? praise discipline set up parent teacher conference?
    10. Can we build our own lot with the Ferris wheel and all that? Brindleton Bay would be prefect for this
    11. Are their different interactions throughout the class time? group presentation educational videos projects?
    12. Can you attend high school online?
    13. Will weather affect school days? snow days?
  • If you play multiple generations of teenagers going to school, are the teachers and principal going to end up as ghosts as happens with the worker sims in the hospital???

    1- You can but you know the sims AI, they'll probably still sit in the cafeteria.
    2- As long as your sims are teens they will have HS to go to. I'm not sure how this will work with Graduation.
    3- I hope we can but from the looks of things I don't think we can.
    4- Not sure but I also don't think so.
    5- Yes they can it was shown in the live stream.
    6- Acne is more proactive now and teen sims can get it randomly. You can click on the sink or mirror (I think) to clean your face.
    7- Yes automatic and we can't.
    8- Don't think so.
    9- Not sure
    10- Yes they'rre in debug
    11- No
    12- No
    13- Hope so
  • 2) There are no freshmen or seniors, you just go to school as long as you are a teen, or you can graduate early if you have an A. You can also drop out.
    7) Teachers seem to be premades who are not in world. I assume you can assign your own with cheats, like other NPCs.
