I wish the socially awkward trait made it harder to start conversations instead of making it harder to get along with people. The way it's designed right now seems really annoying. It would be cooler to have most interactions locked until you get to know the sim better.
I'm socially awkward irl. I'm not good with strangers and after a while even my friends tend to hate me. Whether it's because I'm awkward or weird, it really is hard to get along with people. However because of how awkward I am I come off as shy when people first meet me so they don't tend to immediately hate me.
yeah i don't think it should be constant negatives either. I think it just shouldn't go up or down. as an awkward person, I've never had a person hate me just cuz i'm awkward. that just doesn't seem fair
@@PandyDaize but that’s not the case for all people socially awkward it’s kind of annoying that people think that just because you’re awkward nothing will ever go well for you or that it’s always negative
So Ash goes from " Wanna be my girlfriend?" to "let's go to prom as just friends" to "sorry I'm into men" in just a couple minutes. Hope when this pack officially releases, they calm it with the very mixed messages.
@@charliejagusch4620 honestly i’m glad they didn’t because in every mod i have that had periods, i HAVE to turn the feature off because of how annoying it is to have my sim very uncomfortable all of the time, it’s good in theory but annoying when added to gameplay- just my opinion though

@@buttons256 Or maybe sims have finally some kind of personality and thats why they are better in some activities than other sims, like, you now, in real life xD. I don't say it isn't a bug, but if it is, I like it.
My head cannon is that Ash actually felt bad because they saw that Vanessa was having a hard time making friends and asked her to be girlfriends so they had someone in their circle
i know a lot of people are excited about the trait because they are socially awkward but i think the sims team made it a bit too difficult to gain relationship, since it looks like every single interaction fails
@@kristianawilson9038 no? Socially awkward people are capable of interacting with new people and gaining new relationships. We just awkward af, and will badly offend some people without meaning to, but not everyone
@@kristianawilson9038 not really. You can just feel awkward while socializing, maybe sometimes you can say something stupid, but you don’t fail EVERY SINGLE INTERACTION with EVERY human being. Just sometimes. Maybe 50/50 chance.
@@uwepfaff9226 Yeah I think maybe they could lower the rate interactions fail, but maybe throw in some occassional negative moodlets (like embarrassed or tense) after conversations (even if they go well) Especially because when socially awkward, some of the most embarrassment is when reflecting.
The socially awkward trait seems like its bugged. I can totally get it being hard and actual fatal to your friendship bar in the early stages, but once you get to good friends, shouldn't it be easy to talk to each other without messing everything up? And the social bunny app SHOULD take into account whether someone is straight, gay, bi, etc. because it's definitely weird that Veronica was able to flirt AND BECOME GIRLFRIENDS with someone who doesn't even like girls, and then get turned down when they are dating?? hmm.
I know almost nothing going according to plan is the Sims 4 being the Sims 4, but it's lowkey interesting how Veronica and Henry are good at the things the other person is trying hard at. Henry is naturally smart and doesn't need to study as much and Veronica might find herself able to let loose while doing cheers. It could create an interesting storyline if you take it that far and that's kind of the weird wacky randomness I like about the Sims.
I think they need to adjust the socially awkward thing where you stop failing all of your social interactions once your relationship is high enough cause this version of things just makes it so impossible
I read that if you get the Sim's Charisma skill up that the social interactions will work, but I don't know as I have not played it yet😆 Edit: I think it might be bugged in her game as it seems to work in James Turner's Play through. Although Reginald and Sydney are good friends, whereas her sim is not high enough friends with anybody.
@@lisamurdock6679 If I remember correctly, he got to that relationship level by taking photographs of Sydney cus that boosts friendship a lot 😅 When they do other interactions it seems to almost always fail
the "Ask to be just friends" interaction, would go over better than "Break up" (the romance level would be empty instead of red and friendship would stay the same)
It's kind of weird/lame how using that option seems to have no negative consequences, right? Like, if your partner that you're living with, and have lived with for years, suddenly asks to 'just be friends'... you'd be pretty bummed, I think. But sims can do this no matter how close you are, it seems. I think it should only be an option while you're not official partners (gf/bf or married), so you can do this only with people you have as a 'romantic interest' or kind of having a fling with. That being said, there should be a non-Mean breakup option, but one that will still make both partners Sad for a while afterwards.
@@tonichan89 agreed, i mean imagine having this whole legacy and you spent hours setting up the romantic bar and then you accidently clicked ask to just be friends
I think it's counting Ash as two seperate relationships, one from the social bunny app and another from real life. bc it seems like social bunny interactions can't "fail" it wildly boosts the relationship levels and triggers events, but the irl relationship is measured like seperately
That actually does make sense as a cause of the bug, but they do need to fix it. You could get a popup like "Vanessa learned that Ash is romantically interested in men" if you try to flirt on social bunny with a sim who isn't attracted to your gender. When they announced the orientations update it sounded like the whole purpose was allow straight, gay and asexual sims to autonomously reject romantic advances. If that doesn't also work on social bunny the feature just creates confusion and doesn't let people represent themselves accurately.
I really hope they are planning to fix this relationship mess before the pack releases. It's hilarious to watch it, but will be totally annoying to play it. 😂
I'm already trying to figure out ways around it for when it releases. Just in case. And hey, if the Sims team doesn't fix it we always have the modders right😅
Okay but Ash asking a girl out and then very quickly being like “turns out I actually just like boys my bad” and dumping her is a very realistic thing to happen in high school hahaha
"We're Deeply Connected but we have no relationship." Is the only part I think is accurate to teens. How else can you manage to start dating on Friday and breakup before school on Monday? They need to fix the autonomous prompts if they don't align with a sims orientation. As others have said being social awkward doesn't necessarily mean everyone hates you.
For everyone talking about the socially awkward trait, I think you are suppose to do the Overcome Awkwardness interaction in the mirror to improve social skills. I haven’t seen any UA-camrs do that yet. Maybe Kayla and others can try that when the game releases and see if it helps
I think it's a mistake for the game to have a trait that's only functional if you do one specific interaction that not everyone will notice and know they are supposed to use.
That is actually so funny. It feels like a freaky Friday situation. Those siblings just switched bodies and that is why Henry aced the exams (despite not studying) and Veronica won the cheer-leading competition.
@@countrye3013 Exactly. It’s completely turning me away from the pack as a whole. It seems like it’s completely random and not actually based on the skills and or effort a sim puts into something. I think we can all agree that it makes more sense that the sim who spends more time doing something is going to be better at it.
@@jessequeen4550 Sure, in real life. But if i’m spending all this time in game making my sim get better at something and in the end they just aren’t good, then what was the point at all?
Anyone else think this is a bad sign for running households with multiple teens? Like I wonder if it gave the brother's score to the sister, or if the best friend pop up for Malcolm was supposed to go to the brother.
Idk, there’s never been glitches like that before in the sims and I feel like it would be exactly the same as any other pop up you get. So I don’t think it was switched.
@@awildbayonettastand4601 He only did one day of that, so he wasn't getting many relationship popups. 8 sims also makes it hard to micromanage, so you don't create as many differentiated personalities and relationships where it would be obvious if the game was making a mistake. I think Kayla's game is a better test of this type of bug than the 8-sim play that James did. Of course Kayla is just one example so it would be better to see if it happens to other people too. I think households of 2 or 3 teens would be the easiest to spot a bug like this, and you would need to be actively controlling them to make their skills and relationships different.
Ash really said "hey wanna date? Just as friends though." Edit, it's okay to change your mind or realize you're attracted to another gender/sex while in a relationship, but if you break up with your partner because you're not attracted to them for that reason, your partner is allowed to be hurt and upset and any feeling resulting is valid In this situation though it seems Ash already knew they were attracted to men and still dated Veronica which i personally think is rude. They asked her out and an hour later admitted they like guys, seems sus (I do realize that's part of the mechanics of the social bunny flirting)
How Henry aced the test and Veronica got the best cheerleading score was like how my five star celebrity sim didn't get any award in the whole event while her brother, who was supposed to just accompany her, won.
At least they can’t get overwhelming anxiety that stops them from going to school for a year. Now that would really give me PTSD and make this pack too real for me.
@@rachelcookie321 me too i was a loner in school i almost dropped out cuz i didnt fit in. what would really give me ptsd is watching sim students in uni pack woohoo the profs for As cuz i watched that criminal activity and dropped out and maybe EA can make a mental asylum pack for sims who had to deal with that
@@rachelcookie321 word of caution if u are college age, do not go to university arts college unless u wanna see criminal profs having illegal affairs with students the bullying and the cover up is red alert insane level. it changed me for ever. i have actual cptsd from it
@@oliviahicks2178 yeah, like at least you can pretend this is just a weird story, but eventually the chaos would get old and annoying. I hope they don't iron it out completely so that there is still a little bit of choas, but also some predictability.
My headcanon is that Ash asked to be girlfriends as in close female friends and Veronica took it the romantic way and it was just a communication error lmao
@@TessuDraws /: the offensives of that just because they dress like that does not mean that defines somebody’s sexuality- coming from a girl who likes boys and girls but wears night dresses all day,clothes don’t define sexual orientation
@@TessuDraws Just because they dress like that doesn't mean they must be a bisexual. I have a friend who dress exactly like Ash, probably even a bit more masculine than them and this friend can only attracted by men.
Omg it’s like a Disney identity crisis episode. The girl is all smart but her brother does better on exams and her brother is all about cheerleading but his sister totally outscores her!
You know, i think we were all wrong. Veronica might be the cheer leader type with a bubbly yet closed off personality due to her terrible social anxiety. And Henry the fairly social, sometimes closed off, study buddy who really likes technology and wants to be on the COMPUTER TEAM.
It is normal to have acne. It's just one of those things that happen while growing up. There's two types of acne per se. Adult acne and puberty acne. Trust me, you're gonna want puberty acne lol. It'll go away with time and treatment. What helped me was vitamins and a healthy diet. You can get L-lysine / Omega 3 fish oil / acidophilus and others. I hope this helps if you do have acne (I was guessing so from your comment). God bless ❤️🙏😊
@@g.e131 thank you so much for the advice! i have periodic acne that gets worse when i have a bad diet. it's not nearly as bad as my sisters'. kayla's comment was just so sweet! you don't see it that often.
hopefully they make it where they wouldn't ask to be your date if it defies their orientation or the breakup wouldn't be devastating but sure it can be like for my sim "I'm gay, but I love you, but I don't. why did you break up with me? I'm glad you did but I am sad now"
Hopefully they tweak things a bit. The actual cheerleader who practiced all week sucked at cheerleading but he aced his tests that he barely cracked a book for? The study freak did ok at tests but won the cheerleading competition despite it being the first time she picked up the pom poms? ...... sounds fishy
Idk, it’s kinda realistic I think. Some people are naturally really talented at thing and some people naturally suck at things no matter how hard they try at it. Like I’m naturally good at academics and do pretty well without even studying but I suck at sports. Even when I try really hard and practice a lot, I just can’t get the hang of it.
Love how basically every sims youtuber forgets there's an option to "ask to just be friends" instead of breaking up. Then they get confused why the friendship bar is ruined.
Are the sims upset because Kayla is forcing them into doing the wrong thing? Veronica won the cheer contest without practicing, and Henry aced his exams without studying. That’s why they’re both stressed!!
Is the orientation system something that can be checked on or off? For me one of the most enjoyable parts of The Sims is the sandbox "do whatever and make any household you want" sort of thing, and not being able to romance a particular Sim because the game gave them an incompatible orientation would really put a wrench in that.
yeah, i actually expected all townies to be bi like before, and that only player-made sims will have different orientations if we choose so. now i’m worried that my lesbian sims will only have a limited number of partners to choose from :(
@@mar-nyan As far as I have heard the townies pre-highschool pack will all have the settings exploring sexuality and interested in wohoo with men and women
Personally I think it’s rly smart of the sims team to give our creators early access a month ahead, smart way to see unexpected bugs, since everyone will play their game differently
I hope when the pack comes out, prom comes once a month instead of every weekend. That's not very realistic, no matter how privileged and wealthy a high school is.
I think prom-frequency and exam-frequency should be something players can choose in game settings, with the seasons and the moon phases. It depends a lot on what lifespan you're playing with, but if you're playing with ageing off the game doesn't know when you're planning to age up your sims.
Personally I play on short lifespan a lot so my sims only get one prom even if there’s 3 scheduled so I think that’s to fit lifespans (I dont exactly know the lifespan of normal and long but short lifespan is 6 days)
I love how I’m watching her play sims and everything is going great, then I look over and my sims are all just staring at the toddle for the last 10 hours
"We're deeply connected, and yet we have no relationship" is like when you find the one other teen who likes the same random hipster band that nobody else has heard of
this is one of the most entertaining lets-plays i've watched in awhile. even just simsie's reactions to it all are so fun- the way she reacts to the twins' experiences kind of reminds me of if she herself was playing their aunt
That was just an emotional roller coaster, wasn't it? I'm glad that Henry is doing pretty well romantically even though he's in the middle of a love triangle. Also, I'd be confused too if someone asked me to date them one minute then wanted me to go to prom as friends the next. Make up your mind, Ash!
i love the way you handled this ash and veronica situationship :) glad to see a young responsible youtuber who provides a safe place for the young minds following them
I'm hoping the pack will work with an existing game sae. The gameplay we have seen was from a new game where all the teen are the same age (days left) I wonder how things will work on a save a few generation old where once you sim get to be a teen ages tend to be all over the place. Hopefully you will not get something like only 4 teen in school at the same time.
going to a lot that's supposed to contain sims of a particular age causes the game to generate those sims. In basegame, lounges are supposed to have lots of elders. If there aren't any elders in my game, and I go to a lounge, the game will immediately generate more elders to be in the lounge. With Cats and Dogs, if I set a lot to be "cat friendly" and then go there, the game will generate cat-owners to be at the lot.
i LOVE how inclusive you are without it seeming like you’re trying too hard. the way u talked & joked abt ash’s feelings was so funny but also so sweet
I have literally been watching her high school videos continuously because It’s helping me resist from pre ordering the pack. Just 7 days more Iris. 7. Days. AAAAAAAAAA
I love your series so much 🥰 I want to watch all of your videos to improve my English too but I can understand everything what you say, there might be some words that idk but then I'll translate them and then I understand it better. I love the Sims 4, I play it every day, its very addicting!
I actually love Henry. Also in this video Veronica gets over her fear and is ok but Henry’s just gets worse and worse and it seems like he is not mentally doing well.
I love how Veronica studied a lot to the exams and got like an Ok score when Henry studied like 5 minutes and get better grades. Same with the cheerleader thing, Henry won the competition but Veronica did the best routine? Yeah
I wish the socially awkward trait made it harder to start conversations instead of making it harder to get along with people. The way it's designed right now seems really annoying. It would be cooler to have most interactions locked until you get to know the sim better.
And not just getting them to hate you with every interaction. Like, it's harder to make friends but that doesn't mean they start to hate you

Kayla acting like a proud mom when both kids succeed in their after school activities was too cute hehe🤍
Pls I was so excited about the socially awkward trait but I’m definitely not picking it for any of my sims anymore 😂
I can see that playing this is going to give me PTSD from high school. The rollercoaster of emotions is TOO REAL. Ash! Get it together!
Agreed! I thought I could give my sims the experience I never had and so far it's just like being back in school.
At least they can’t get overwhelming anxiety that stops them from going to school for a year. Now that would really give me PTSD and make this pack too real for me.
@@rachelcookie321 me too i was a loner in school i almost dropped out cuz i didnt fit in. what would really give me ptsd is watching sim students in uni pack woohoo the profs for As cuz i watched that criminal activity and dropped out and maybe EA can make a mental asylum pack for sims who had to deal with that
@@rachelcookie321 word of caution if u are college age, do not go to university arts college unless u wanna see criminal profs having illegal affairs with students the bullying and the cover up is red alert insane level. it changed me for ever. i have actual cptsd from it
@@barkergirl33 yeah the way Veronica can't socialize is too much for me
This seems incredibly full of bugs, but at the same time this story is rediculously entertaining! 😆
definitely not as bad as my wedding stories because this is still manageable but yes!
@@oliviahicks2178 yeah, like at least you can pretend this is just a weird story, but eventually the chaos would get old and annoying. I hope they don't iron it out completely so that there is still a little bit of choas, but also some predictability.
@@ThatOneLadyOverHere agreed. i hope they do that too! and before the pack comes out officially!!
My headcanon is that Ash asked to be girlfriends as in close female friends and Veronica took it the romantic way and it was just a communication error lmao
But the biggest lie is Ash being attracted to only men like LOOK AT THEM! They have SUCH strong bisexual/pansexual energy!!
@@TessuDraws /: the offensives of that just because they dress like that does not mean that defines somebody’s sexuality- coming from a girl who likes boys and girls but wears night dresses all day,clothes don’t define sexual orientation
@@TessuDraws Just because they dress like that doesn't mean they must be a bisexual. I have a friend who dress exactly like Ash, probably even a bit more masculine than them and this friend can only attracted by men.
@@jokersdoll1779 true but I think tessu meant that the characters personality gave off bi/pan vibes lol. And agreed clothes don't define who you like
@@TessuDraws didn't they say in the sims livestream that ash is ace?
Omg it’s like a Disney identity crisis episode. The girl is all smart but her brother does better on exams and her brother is all about cheerleading but his sister totally outscores her!
You know, i think we were all wrong. Veronica might be the cheer leader type with a bubbly yet closed off personality due to her terrible social anxiety. And Henry the fairly social, sometimes closed off, study buddy who really likes technology and wants to be on the COMPUTER TEAM.
This is the most highschool thing I’ve ever seen happen in the sims, so good job sims team
simsie telling henry it's okay to have acne and that it's normal really made me tear up :')
It is normal to have acne. It's just one of those things that happen while growing up. There's two types of acne per se. Adult acne and puberty acne. Trust me, you're gonna want puberty acne lol. It'll go away with time and treatment. What helped me was vitamins and a healthy diet. You can get L-lysine / Omega 3 fish oil / acidophilus and others. I hope this helps if you do have acne (I was guessing so from your comment). God bless ❤️🙏😊
@@g.e131 thank you so much for the advice! i have periodic acne that gets worse when i have a bad diet. it's not nearly as bad as my sisters'. kayla's comment was just so sweet! you don't see it that often.
Seeing Simsie panicking about potentially failing her sims is honestly the most relatable thing. Lol
Plot twist, since Henry aced the exam and Veronica won the cheer competition, their roles of Academic and Athletic are switched haha
hopefully they make it where they wouldn't ask to be your date if it defies their orientation or the breakup wouldn't be devastating
but sure it can be like for my sim "I'm gay, but I love you, but I don't. why did you break up with me? I'm glad you did but I am sad now"
Hopefully they tweak things a bit. The actual cheerleader who practiced all week sucked at cheerleading but he aced his tests that he barely cracked a book for? The study freak did ok at tests but won the cheerleading competition despite it being the first time she picked up the pom poms? ...... sounds fishy
Idk, it’s kinda realistic I think. Some people are naturally really talented at thing and some people naturally suck at things no matter how hard they try at it. Like I’m naturally good at academics and do pretty well without even studying but I suck at sports. Even when I try really hard and practice a lot, I just can’t get the hang of it.
Love how basically every sims youtuber forgets there's an option to "ask to just be friends" instead of breaking up. Then they get confused why the friendship bar is ruined.
That drives me crazy along with the thermostat never adjusted correctly or voting for a juiced community then confused why everyone is dazed.
Henry beat Veronica in the exams, so Veronica beat him at cheerleading. That's some petty sibling bs! I love it!
Are the sims upset because Kayla is forcing them into doing the wrong thing? Veronica won the cheer contest without practicing, and Henry aced his exams without studying. That’s why they’re both stressed!!
This mini series has so much drama in it so far I feel like. Very fitting for the pack 😂
4:12
"Am I falling you guys?" Now, we can finally truly feel like a parent in the Sims 4.
Is the orientation system something that can be checked on or off? For me one of the most enjoyable parts of The Sims is the sandbox "do whatever and make any household you want" sort of thing, and not being able to romance a particular Sim because the game gave them an incompatible orientation would really put a wrench in that.
yeah, i actually expected all townies to be bi like before, and that only player-made sims will have different orientations if we choose so. now i’m worried that my lesbian sims will only have a limited number of partners to choose from :(
@@mar-nyan As far as I have heard the townies pre-highschool pack will all have the settings exploring sexuality and interested in wohoo with men and women
Im wondering as well, I don't like this.. I don't want to be rejected like that in the sims😹
Personally I think it’s rly smart of the sims team to give our creators early access a month ahead, smart way to see unexpected bugs, since everyone will play their game differently
I hope when the pack comes out, prom comes once a month instead of every weekend. That's not very realistic, no matter how privileged and wealthy a high school is.
maybe the amount of proms could be changed according to the life span of sims? could be the best solution imo
On normal lifespam, a teen is a teen for three in-game weeks so it's like one prom a year, which i think could be reasonable?
I think prom-frequency and exam-frequency should be something players can choose in game settings, with the seasons and the moon phases. It depends a lot on what lifespan you're playing with, but if you're playing with ageing off the game doesn't know when you're planning to age up your sims.
Personally I play on short lifespan a lot so my sims only get one prom even if there’s 3 scheduled so I think that’s to fit lifespans (I dont exactly know the lifespan of normal and long but short lifespan is 6 days)
This episode was an emotional rollercoaster of drama. It really did feel like watching a teen show with all the twists and turns. Amazing!
hopefully the weird bugs about the characters inconsistencies will be fixed by release... or not. Could make for some really funny LPs
Im literally so excited for the new pack!!
same 😄
I love how I’m watching her play sims and everything is going great, then I look over and my sims are all just staring at the toddle for the last 10 hours
"We're deeply connected, and yet we have no relationship" is like when you find the one other teen who likes the same random hipster band that nobody else has heard of
I can imagine the situation of Henry getting a higher score in the test and Veronica getting petty revenge buy winning the cheer competion
The cheerleader girls being like “your routine was the best!” Has that special mean girl compliment bullying energy hahaha
veronica winning the cheer competition right after henry did better than her on exams feels calculated
Her brother didn’t study once and aced his exams while she won a cheer competition. You can’t script that 😂😂😂😂😂😂
i find this horribly relatable 😂😂
You should do a wheel decides my sims life with this high school pack. I think it would be full of drama and very chaotic.
this is one of the most entertaining lets-plays i've watched in awhile. even just simsie's reactions to it all are so fun- the way she reacts to the twins' experiences kind of reminds me of if she herself was playing their aunt
She just plays the game and enjoys it as it is. I love that! No mods, no cc. Just Sims. 🥰
Henry is not satisfied with how his life is going? He should ask the Bell family....
That was just an emotional roller coaster, wasn't it? I'm glad that Henry is doing pretty well romantically even though he's in the middle of a love triangle. Also, I'd be confused too if someone asked me to date them one minute then wanted me to go to prom as friends the next. Make up your mind, Ash!
i love the way you handled this ash and veronica situationship :) glad to see a young responsible youtuber who provides a safe place for the young minds following them
“oh it’s Molly. beat her up Marc come on come on” 😂😂
I'm hoping the pack will work with an existing game sae. The gameplay we have seen was from a new game where all the teen are the same age (days left) I wonder how things will work on a save a few generation old where once you sim get to be a teen ages tend to be all over the place. Hopefully you will not get something like only 4 teen in school at the same time.
I bet it won’t be a problem since neighborhood stories was added
going to a lot that's supposed to contain sims of a particular age causes the game to generate those sims. In basegame, lounges are supposed to have lots of elders. If there aren't any elders in my game, and I go to a lounge, the game will immediately generate more elders to be in the lounge. With Cats and Dogs, if I set a lot to be "cat friendly" and then go there, the game will generate cat-owners to be at the lot.
i LOVE how inclusive you are without it seeming like you’re trying too hard. the way u talked & joked abt ash’s feelings was so funny but also so sweet
I have literally been watching her high school videos continuously because It’s helping me resist from pre ordering the pack. Just 7 days more Iris. 7. Days. AAAAAAAAAA
Love your videos! Keep it up!
the mixed signals is so accurate LMAOO
no
@@lemqnshark yes it is…do u not go to an american highschool LMAOAOA
Dating in high school does suck but when your with your high school sweetheart in your first apartment the drama was totally worth it! 7 years strong!
the pics in the lunch room is so relatable. i have so many of my friends when we were at lunch. so cringe
The little “lol” is so funny to me
I love how Henry aces the exam and Veronica gets first place in the cheerleader tryouts. Maybe they should switch lives. 😂
I love your series so much 🥰 I want to watch all of your videos to improve my English too but I can understand everything what you say, there might be some words that idk but then I'll translate them and then I understand it better. I love the Sims 4, I play it every day, its very addicting!
hearing "just monika" at 15:55 gave me such ddlc flashbacks omg
I already love this series it’s so funny how she gives mixed signals😶🌫️
All the mixed signals is so accurate, just like real life tbh 🙄😂😂
what life are u living
I actually love Henry.
Also in this video Veronica gets over her fear and is ok but Henry’s just gets worse and worse and it seems like he is not mentally doing well.
lil making life desitions like a proper teen, i'm dying back here please stop
Ahh, I remember my senior prom, my date fell asleep at the table 🫠🙃
i think i’ve never laughed so much at a sims video
I LOVE YOUR SIMS VIDEOS KEEP GOING!!!
AH I LOVE THIS SERIES SM
Henry did better on the exams and Veronica did better at cheer. The reasoning is obvious, they must have switched bodies
Love the new pack!!!
I’m so excited for this pack!! Omg
You're making me so hyped for this pack. Glad I was able to preorder it, for myself and my sister.
Simsie’s aunt sim got knocked in the side of the head with a football and it was hilarious.
The sims really out here breaking the 4th wall
God I love this series. I’m so excited for this pack to come out.
I love how Veronica studied a lot to the exams and got like an Ok score when Henry studied like 5 minutes and get better grades. Same with the cheerleader thing, Henry won the competition but Veronica did the best routine? Yeah
I am assuming all of this confusion is simply glitches within the game, but it absolutely feels realistic anyway XD
Exactly, glitches. It's random behavior between Sims.
I absolutely adore your videos!!!
I love your vids! You're awesome! Keep up the amazing work!
If u do the friendly interaction "Ask to just be friends" the romantic bar goes all the way down, but your friendship is the same
Hi. I’m so exited for high school years after seeing all the UA-camrs play that waiting for a week is way to much
hello
Hi
