I don't think active schools should be in the game, and a school pack wouldn't be the same as a university one, given that in 2 and 3, very little focus is given on the actual academic side (pretty much non existent in 2) and focus is pretty much exclusively on campus life (greek life, toga parties, coffee shops, the quad, mascots, dorms, cheap living, being away from home etc), while schools would have to be the opposite so they would be schools (sat at a desk watching another sim talk in front of a white board) throughout the entire day. An actual equivalent of university foe teens and children would be packs focusing on the places they hang out outside of school (skateparks, arcades, playgrounds etc )
This. The bigger problem I have with opening the schools is that yet again, we would be forced to choose which Sim to play and ignore the others in the household. Those left behind never do anything productive (even if you command them to build skills from away).
This is a horrible idea for family players. Rabbit holes are a saving grace when you have toddlers at home. That's why I thank the mod gods for converting more careers to WFH and I'm grateful that they introduced the Freelancer careers.
