Your High School Years Rating!
Ok, I haven't done one of these since the university pack I believe BUT I am genuinely curious how everyone will rate this pack in particular. Please remember, though, as always: this is supposed ...

I've been having a great time with this. Teens were never my favorite -- they disappeared into a rabbit hole for 7 hours, then worked a part-time job, and were too exhausted to do more than have a mood swing or two. Once I had Parenthood, I mostly worked at getting some good character traits for them to carry into adulthood.
But these teens are fun. I love the way they wave both hands when making introductions. I love Social Bunny, which I expected to hate. And there are so many unexpected moments. One of my Sim's classmates was cross because she hated the furniture in the classroom. Her afternoon class had a fire drill that sent them out into a thunderstorm. Besides picking up skill in writing in one class, she also got archaelogy and Selvadoradian culture. And although there aren't uniforms, apparently my Sim will wear an outfit related to her club (the computer club) on days when she has a meeting. You can figure out what clubs other teens are in by what they wear. I'm keeping Social Bunny and the Pier for teens mainly, to help keep their identity.
I'm not at all disappointed that I can't build the high school in any world; it's the Sims High School like the Hospital and Police Station. And does it really matter where the Get Together clubs meet? But people set their hopes on something and then get upset when that doesn't happen. And the only bug I've had has been the one that came with the patch, that affects aging.
This pack has made teens more alive, something I didn't think possible. After Seasons, I'd say it's the Number 2 must-have expansion pack.
