University Coming?!!
Maxis uploaded all the new Sims from the rebranding (another topic entirely), and one of their bios, for Morgan Park, really caught my eye and I'm HOPING it's a look into the future! Morgan is all...

Originally I was only interested in an University Expansion pack but all this talk of a Get School pack makes me hop we get a combination of the two.
Nursery School
A small simple classroom where toddlers go to learn skills like blocks, potty etc with teachers that take care of them like nannies but better.
Primary/ Elementary school and High School
You get to follow kids to school. They have a few hours where they complete skill tasks in maybe a library type skill room, like in get to work. Then they have a daily class which they get taught a subject, this would require new animations but could work like it does in get famous.
The homework system should be better and include tests and exams they can study for. Maybe they have a small test In the mid week and they study the nights before and then a final exam end of week – depending on the life span. For the final grade they should take into account the test/exam results, home work/assignments and class attendance/performance. Class performance should be affected by mood, homework and maybe doing a small task.
There should be an option to enroll children/teens into boarding school and then instead of travelling home they travel to the dorms which is where they stay.
University
Can use the exact same system. Classes and a skill session. Homework and Exams. The option to travel home or stay in the University world. If they choose to stay in the dorms they have access to the whole University world. Also the option to take online classes from home.
I wouldn’t mind if they limit the in-class feature so long as get more options, more majors and include children and teens as well. As others mentioned, they could allow us to make our own university traditions etc using a system like seasons. The in class activities would work like get to work and get famous. If you want to be a teacher then you present lessons like the acting in get famous.
The schooling should also matter more for how you get into University so if after all your exams etc at school you get an end grade that is an A this should be reflected in the University entrance/acceptance. University should also matter more so say you don't have a degree, you cant make it past level 7 maybe and then you can take courses online if you want to get a certificate and move up in your career. Maybe they can toggle that on and off for players who don't want degrees to affect careers.
Previously I wouldn’t think we would get so much in one pack but after Island Living, I think they could do Primary/High school and University. They could use all the same coding and objects for both and this would make most players happy. Obviously they could split it into an Expansion and a Game pack but I am not sure what the chances of this are. There are going to be multiple Occult game packs so maybe?
