I got a kick out of James Turner talking about the library and how it seemed too small. All I could think of was "for once, Lilsimsie isn't going to try to make it smaller." (Although I can't wait to see how she re-does the high school. It's very grand but it seems too big for the number of students who will be attending.)
I kept thinking about it as soon as I read it 😂
I’m literally just waiting until she re-does the school so I can use it in my generation/legacy. Most of my lots are her builds 😂😂
@@jalajogodbolt9290 Same here. I have lots I've made, EVItsr lots, and Lilsimsie lots. (Although I tend to redecorate most everything.)
Honestly I like the smaller lots but I do agree with him on the library being a tad bigger. Idk my basic sims library idea is the sunset valley one.
She gave a sneak peek of her built school in her stream! It's on her moresimsie channel. And yes she did make it smaller 😅
The way Lilsimsie hasn't talked about round walls yet is mesmerizing.
Seriously it is killing me
I'd assume she's waiting to make a whole video about them
She talk about them in her live on twitch
Maybe because it's pre-recorded
she mentioned in her other vid and on twitch that she recorded over 10 videos just on the pack so i would expect a vid about round walls in the coming days!
The High School is for sure wayyyy less cool looking compared to the one in the reveal trailer. In the trailer the hallways looked so much more lively and... welcoming. So like you said, thank goodness we are able to edit it!
For someone who can't build to save their life, I am looking forward to seeing how simmers re-conceptualise the high school on the gallery.
I wonder if they might add the school from the trailer (or at least another high school build) to the gallery, like they did with the wedding venues
@@BethH992 is the one in the trailer actually different? I feel like they just added in more sims and stuff.
it seemed like the one in the trailer just had skinnier hallways which inherently makes it seem more lively
I love how most of the clothes in this pack would get dress coded at my school
Dress codes are stupid and I stand by that.
True
@@yuhhbiscuit I agree. I'm a teacher, and the admin at my school pick and choose who they dress code (usually plus sized girls). I got repremanded for telling the students that I disagree with dress codes.
@@charlene9489 As a plus sized girl myself, I’m happy to hear an opinion from a teacher, and what that’s like for you to witness. It sucks you got reprimanded because of the issue.
For real, I kept thinking that when I saw people showcase the create-a-sim. There's so many items that I think a ton of schools realistically would not allow, and even some parents lol.
This pack’s townies are also the first to have their sexualities customized by the developer team; they confirmed Molly is a lesbian, Sidney is bisexual and Savannah is asexual in the livestream
Can you set sexuality preference ???
I love the lore about the characters!!! And I’m glad you can set who your sims wants to be with in game now.
@@star_is_a_potato yes you can. well, we will be able after the update
Do we know when the update will be out?
@@deadlyasylum sexuality update comes to base game when the pack releases!
You're correct about the weather playing a major role in how a school is built. I live in Colorado and every school I've seen here (and I've seen a lot cause I'm a teacher) is one building because having to traverse in the cold and snow is just...no. Also, it's MUCH easier to heat one building than many. I grew up in Arizona though and I distinctly remember having a building for science, another for English, one that was just the gym and cafeteria, etc. when I was in high school.
It also depends on what the schools main focus is. It gets very cold and rainy here but my hs is agriculture based so we are outside like all the time so we have MANY buildings. Its chaos :'D
My bad sense of direction was already tested by one building, I would have get lost soooo often in that type of HS 🥲
Yeah when she talked about that I was like oh god I can’t imagine a multi-building high school where I am, where most of the school year is cold 😂 my high school wasn’t QUITE as grand looking as this one but it was all one building with 3 floors (1 being a basement) so I guess it’s not super far off in that aspect. We also had a massive football field with a track just like the one behind this school so yeah they did nail the classic American high school pretty well. The art room being a tiny after thought and the football field being that huge also really hits home 😂😭
I went to school in Tennessee and it's historically two schools that were combined into one, so it was all one building. They added a new gym in renovations but it was still connected to the main building. Also since it was downtown, there was a parking garage for teachers but students had to pay at the lots/garages nearby.
Yeah like Kayla I lived in Florida but born in Boston. My elementary school was inside but my middle and high school in Florida were outdoors.
This world is really pretty, they’ve improved sooo much with the look of their worlds
Ikr!!! Everything looks so much better, especially the builds.
yeah fr the only sad thing is that they’re kinda small
@@maxdms_ Obviously I'm not on the sims team so idk for sure but aren't the newer worlds small bc of specs and stuff? They made some of the earlier ones HUGE and then they started shrinking.
@@star_is_a_potato I don’t really know, but I mean come one Windenburg is the biggest world 🤷🏻♂️ I would love to see some more worlds with more lots
Too bad they still are really bad at proportions
EA love the name Scott. We had Travis Scott in basegame, the Scotts in Cottage Living, the Wainscotts and now the Prescotts.
Out of curiosity, what pack (or sims game if not 4) are the wainscotts from? I’m relatively new to the sims franchise and only really know the sims 4.
@@queerlittlecactus8749 dream home decorator :)
We also have 2 Wolfgangs, one in Get Together and one in Werewolves haha
@@obsessedwithspiderman thanks!
I really wish they would have added a theater elective in this pack as well as food fights for the cafeteria. Also pranking teachers would have been a nice feature
i think pranking teachers would sort of be hot water for them because it’s sort of… illegal. so i understand why they didn’t include it, but it still would have been fun 😅
I think they're relying on the Drama Club from Get Famous for that.
@@stantheman1797 I mean, they could have had mild pranks, like drawing on the blackboard before class.
Or switching seats when the teacher looks away.
Or joke answers when the teacher asks a question. (And you can tell it's a joke/prank cause everyone laughs and the teacher gets mad and sends the student to stand in the corner or something)
@@MsLilly200 There actually are pranks in this pack. You can draw on the whiteboards and throw stink bombs
@@MsLilly200 You can prank by drawing on the whiteboards! That is indeed a feature I’ve seen played out in another lets play
The names reminede me of Life Is Strange characters: Prescott and Price. Which is really suspicious considering pack being school and teen theme.
the fact that the prescotts are rich and run the town in the game... just like in life is strange lol
I thought about the same thing haha
This town also has some Pacific Northwest vibes
Could be an intentional homage. But I kept tryna figure out why 'rich Prescott family small town' sounded so familiar so thank you for solving that for me!!
it looks like arcadia bay too
Looks to me like the room that's attached down the hall belongs to Savannah. She's a programmer, and there's that huge fancy monitor and video game and programming posters on the wall. Right?
looking for this comment
Agreed. The first room she showed looks like a guest room where Kevin stays, the second one looks like Sidney’s, and the garage apartment has to be Savannah’s.
i like the style of the world a lot. it feels like a mix between moonwood mill and del sol valley, dsv is inspired by LA (santa monica, the pier and waters). it’s really cute.
I thought it was giving Oregon vibes, but it also reminds me of Santa Monica.
@@yuhhbiscuit it sort of resembles Spokane Washington or even Forks Washington
It also reminds me of Evergreen Harbor! :)
Yeah, I think if there was like, a geographic layout of all the worlds in the game, Copperdale would probably be pretty close to Moonwood Mill and perhaps also Granite Falls?
@@lndicababyy yess my first thought was that it reminded me of twilight
I hope someone makes a monster high school building build 😭if not im gonna do it 😀
I WAS LITERALLY THINKING THIS TOO!!!
Go for it and put it in the gallery. Can't wait to see it
oh my god you just gave me an idea
I literally said the exact same thing under one of her other videos, it’s one of the main reasons I’m buying this back, i miss monster high so much(I’m not touching that gen3 stuff)
@@kiba432 they made an awful live action recently and it gives me actual migraines
i love how theyre starting to make the world more open!!! the closed world can feel so confining so i think it's cool what theyre doing with this pack
Hey Simsie! In Prescott Square there is an abandoned cottage that I believe used to be owned by the founder of the Prescott family. The Sims team said that teens can hang out there but in the night its pretty scary and the ghost of the founder may appear there.
Didn’t the Prescott family in Life is Strange have an abandoned barn?? Lol they definitely did the intentionally
@@rockysims7048 i thought the same thing. And in this pack there is also a price family.
I don't know if the lighting is deliberately so harsh but I like to think they did that to kind of mimic Riverdale's dark-ish vibes. Yes, it's a high school town but it's also an old copper mining small town that's probably fallen on hard times before so maybe it's supposed to have this mysterious feel. But I'm probably just reading way too much into this ;)
Also the gazebo and the town square is giving me major Gilmore Girls vibes, same with the space above ThrifTea which could be used for dance (cheer) practice. The mentioned they did research by watching current teen shows but also older ones, so I definitely feel like GG and maybe OC were part of that :D
I also assumed it’s moody for Riverdale / Twilight style teen storyline’s!
There's definitely some stuff inspired by some older TV/films (like there's Clueless-inspired styled look I've seen people talking about on twitter), so I wouldn't be surprised if Gilmore Girls was on the list. I agree that the gazebo has Stars Hollow vibes!
@@BethH992 Oh, right! I literally squealed when I saw the "As If" styled look :D
Cute thought!
Crazy that you mentioned Gilmore girls bc I REALLY want somebody to create Chilton so I can use it as the high school instead of EAs 😭
“Thrift and bubble tea store” is such a specific lot type wtf lmao
I really don't see why they couldn't make them 2 separate lot types... (one could go where that green starter home is?) I was looking forward to making a more dingy/antique sort of thrift store, but in order to fit the lot requirements I guess I have to add the boba shop items and size them down/hide them lol. so fried.
@ADHDistheworst yea it’s cute for sure! But like, not every time?? Like can I please have boba without being in a dingy thrift store?
(Also- relatable username.)
@@chancematters just size down the clothing racks and hide them lol
i really like how this world feels like it’s own full town, and not just a word only focused on around the school
I feel like this pack has the potential to turn the teen lifestate from (in my opinion) useless to one of my favorites.
I’m so excited! 😄
I have to stay seeing the school car park having a disabled spot, even if it appears to be the furthest from the entrance, made me so excited as Sims isn't exactly known for disabled inclusion in game.
I saw that too and it made me smile. I don’t mind the whole “teasing cars” thing because to me, those details add realism. Schools would have parking lots, and by law, they would have to have at least one handicap space. At least it’s something😁
Prescott family and Price family... this pack smells like its Life is Strange inspired, even the world reminds me of Arcadia Bay
yesss exactly
omg i was about to comment that hghfhhf
They should have added a new death, "Death by ferris wheel"
There is a death type i think, its got smn to do with the pranks
I'm noticing more open world with the last two packs... So cool.
I absolutely love the subtle life is strange references with the prescott and price families
THAT'S WHY THOSE NAMES SOUNDED SO FAMILIAR
My Highschool was almost completely underground so I have no idea what a normal high school would look like or be like. It was wild
That sounds both creepy and awesome
I love that you said that Prescott dad would have been in sims 3. I agree they should have made him and killed him so his ghost was in game and was in the family tree. Why can’t they just do that?
Honestly though it just feels lazy that they don't
killing the dad after making him probably would have made a sentiment giving that family more lore as well
Those "open-air" schools with separate buildings were a huge school building trend for a time. This style was not exclusive to warm places like Florida, they were also built in states far up North where it's below freezing and icy outside for most of the school year. I've seen open-air elementary, middle, and high schools. It was a bad idea for anyone to build that style here. At this point, almost all of the open-air style schools built up North have constructed or tried to make hallways between the buildings since it was a bad idea. You can spot them on Google Maps, they look like connect the dots.
This. I went to a very small school in Michigan, and the upper elementary had two “portable” classrooms that weren’t connected to anything. I was in one during 3rd grade and winter was awful. And in 5th grade, I was the kid that went from class to class collecting absence slips for the office and had to change clothes just to get those two.
The connected high school had a separate weight room, but that wasn’t as bad. They’ve since turned it into the preschool and removed the outside classrooms, but it was quite the experience.
Where I'm at the school in my town is all one building (except animal science because they're in the barn) but a neighboring towns school is open air
All the schools I’ve been in (in NT, Australia) is open. My current school has a big freaking hill that I used to have to climb up multiple times a day to get to classes. But it’s nice, you get fresh air and I bit of a break while moving to the next class. The only bad things are that it get EXTREMELY hot in the wet season and we can’t stay in the aircon during breaks (sometimes even if it’s pouring down with rain, we have to stay outside 😓) and it’s a bit dusty up here so it sets of my allergies 🙄. But other than that it’s really nice!
this made me realize how much del sol valley needs a revamp 😭
Can't wait to send my werewolf teen to school and having an absolute fury induced nightmare
Seeing that you are able to customize your own high school, I think Get to Work is going to be the next pack they update!! They can fix world and add the hospital etc. to actually lots!!!!!
Omg, that would be soooo amazing! Maybe then we can actually make other hospitals in other worlds, like you can with vet clinics! I always thought it was weird that there is only one hospital and police station for the entire sims universe (one science lab is okay because they don’t directly interact with multiple clients). You can have more than one vet clinic, but if you’re sick or need help, and you’re in say, mt. Komerobi, you have to go to willow creek? That doesn’t seem really realistic to me…🤔
I'm crying happy tears to see this pack... It just reminds me so much of Generations for Sims 3
YESSS
i love the look of this pack a lot and will likely purchase it. i just wish that the high school lot type was usable across worlds, instead of being locked to copperdale :/
I went to high school in central California and we too had a more spread-out, multiple-building configuration (with a quad outdoor area in the center) rather than the one-massive-building type of high school they have in the game. I've only seen high schools like this in movies.
lol that's so weird to me, in the midwest all of the schools are completely one building and you'll get in big trouble if you go outside during the school day 😭 i stg it's like a prison
i’m going to high school in central california too! we have the same type of layout, with the big grove in the middle
Technically my school (south Florida) is 1 building, it’s 4 buildings but they are all connected through a small hallway
I think it totally has to do with the weather. I live in the Midwest and every school I've ever seen except for two have been confined to one building so you don't have to walk out in the snow and ice. Cause that would suuuuck. Plus it's cheaper to heat one building.
The two that had seperate buildings had only their auditorium built separately since the schools were historic and couldn't be demoed to add one.
I’ve personally never knew these types of schools existed until I visited college campuses lol. So it was a big change for me. I didn’t know until now that there are high schools that are that way too.
I love the fact that you touched on how the building setup for the highschool isn't necessarily how an American highschool is setup. I'm also from Florida and experienced the multiple buildings spread out from middle School up
“He has a looming fear of death. Oh, and a fishing aspiration!”
Tbh I'm getting like 90s Goosebumps TV series vibes from the town and I'm HERE FOR IT. Some of the lore also sounds like Riverdale or Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, which is also v fun.
The fact there’s a family with a Prescott surname and a family with a price surname is really taking me back to my life is strange era😭😭
I was looking for this comment
DUDE I WAS JUST GONNA COMMENT THAT BC SAME
yeah!! and kind of lis3 with the mining city
i think we forget that 20,000 is the default for one sim. adding children, teens, and adults changes the starting amount
thank you for making these world tours! Honestly the worlds are super important to me because I love the idea of playing with different cultures and styles of home and different activities/themes and it all has to start with the world, at least for me
I did realize just HOW excited I am to build my own high school in the game. I haven’t been in high school for about 3 years but I want to build things like a choir room and classrooms and some of the places that I have some really fond memories 🥹
I did a double take when you showed the starter home in Plumbite Cove... both the layout and furnishings look just like the house I built when I played the Sims Freeplay! good memories :")
Please don’t apologise for the longer videos. They are very appreciated! X
I've got a strong feeling that the exchange student family had this extra room for their geeky teen since there was a lot of geeky gamer stuff going on and the exchange student probably then got the sim's old room because she "moved out"
I live in Oregon and I also had a bunch of different buildings for my high school. I definitely agree with the unpleasantness of it raining..and snowing.
I’m genuinely jealous that this world isn’t real and that I don’t live there, cause it’s beautiful 😂
Yes, like that American high school film dream, I am too not gonna get especially where I live 😂
Oh, and also here before the mean Maddie 😌
@@malami4891 American schools are awful, but my sims are going to love it!!! I mean they don’t have a choice 😂
@@malami4891 🤣 🤣🤣
I can’t believe Kayla’s only seen schools in separate buildings! I live in the Midwest where it gets down to -40 and you can get frostbite in 5 minutes or less if you don’t have proper gear. Plus blizzards would be terrible to move all the snow where you could just have an enclosed hallway
all the families and stories are so interesting! i cant wait to play this pack!
You could make a roof top garden! have a flower arranging table, bee hive, that could be cool
When i look at the gameplay, world, and building stuff of this pack, I don't regret buying this as preorder
Clearly one of their best dlc imo.
I wish they’d have an option to have townies go to school- it would fill it up way more and make it more realistic.
I feel like this is the first expansion pack that is actually worth the price it is tbh
I don’t know, imo, cottage living seemed to be worth the full price I paid for it… there was soooo much that came with cl, and it was a concept that a lot of simmers had been wanting for a while. I use the build/buy in almost all of my builds and I use the child and toddler clothing all the time (how can you not with that adorable sweater with the animal backpack!!!❤️) and love making my sims buy groceries every week and planing meals around that.
Eco lifestyle doesn’t get enough praise
Not really. You should NOT be charging $40 for something that could never be a standalone game. I really like this world, but charging that much is insane. That’s the price of entire games. Heck, it’s actually more expensive than a lot of games. Yet, this pack could never be it’s own separate game. Way overpriced. Should be $15 Max.
@@wandering4786 I agree. I have a lot of Packs but I‘ve paid just half of the price when on sale (besides City Living…). 40 bucks is to much.
I like how there's some anime inspired things are in the pack, like shirts, posters, and I think a bedspread. As someone who likes anime I will get use out of that stuff for a teen whenever I end up getting the pack
i also don’t really like the lack of detail at the school but it also kinda reminds me of the vibe of the high school i went to like the sims high school gives off the same bland and depressing vibe me school had so in a way i appreciate it even if i’ll definitely be redecorating it
you should definitely look up Collierville High School. the campus is huge and has three gyms and all types of sports fields; several art rooms and band rooms too!
Can’t help but to feel like sims took notes from twilight for the new world. I love it
I’m from Southern Wisconsin, my high school is one of the only in the area to have more than one building. We have two buildings, North Campus and South Campus, SC has freshmen and sophomores and NC has Juniors and seniors. They care abt North Campus way more, it’s so much better, so much bigger, it has three gyms, a pool, and the auditorium, also top of the line engineering equipment for the engineering classes. We also are one of the most diverse schools when it comes to classes and course selection.
Oh my god the rumored ghost of the founder of the town reminded me of Scooby Doo, you could literally roleplay Scooby Doo in this new world
I feel like this world is perfect to live out my highschool horror movie plot line dreams! It feel reminiscent of I Know What You Did Last Summer with the waterside location
Such a pretty world, I'm fascinated by it!
I’ve been waiting all day! I’m so excited for this pack!
Since they gave base game townies relationships with the new ones, makes me wonder if they've made more progress and are planning another townie change for base game.
So you’re telling me I can recreate twilight with this world, the werewolf pack, and the vampire pack?
This is perfect for Forks- take my money
Please look up “Roxxy Sims jacobs house” on UA-cam. She created Jacobs house in twilight. It’s also on the gallery for download! It’s so good!
My high school wasn't this fancy either. I lived in st.pete fl and went to st.pete high. We had a main building. Then science/biology building and then the cafeteria and then gym and then portables. Of course the courtyard and such to eat outside if we wanted to. But yes rain was a pain walking to classes.
I'm excited for this pack.
Yes! I also go to school in Florida and I have one two story building with two main wings and four other buildings for other classes, gym, auditorium, cafeteria, and weight room. And, yes, when it rains it is not fun making a five minute trek across the school with limited overhangs.
I think what frustrates me most about the sims 4 as a whole is the disjointed feeling of all the worlds and the people in them. There’s no connection or relationship among households- which was such an excellent addition to the sims 2 and even 3. It made for great lord that you could play right off or play into with your own created household. I do like the world itself here, though. And I enjoy the bright lighting because I feel like so many sims 4 worlds are super dark and hard to navigate.
okay a wedding at the library though?? that would be beautiful
i’m just waiting for someone to make East High from HSM as a renovation of the high school in this pack
I can’t wait to build my old high school, now my sims can go through the same trauma I did 😂🤦🏻♀️
Omg, if I built my old high school, my sims would never get to class on time!😂😂 (which tbh would be very realistic!😂)
I'm not even that interested in cars coming to the game and I feel taunted by those parking spaces! I want my Sims to have a car and be able to do a parking space mural! Really, really excited about this pack. My NSB Gen 6 heir is likely to be at just the right age when this comes out in a couple weeks since they aren't even a glimmer in their mom's eye yet.
Imagine they simply didn't include cars into any promo stuff yet to surprise us omg that would be awesome
Then again, I wont ever get my hopes up high for cars in the sims 4. No way it would actually happen lmao
Hey, I’m also doing the NSB challenge! I’m in the YA phase of gen 6, so I missed the window to use them when I get the pack 😅
Definitely see me getting Molly pregnant so she can birth a boy and name him Nathan Prescott ( and start the whole story of Life is Strange) since we have the high-school now and the wolf pack will help with the Chloe and Rachel vibes and party life
I’ll be honest that getaway home is by far one of the coolest details! Being able to get away for the week 😩. I loveee this world! it’s so amazing I love taking my sims out to have family time and lots of fun! This whole pack is the coolest I want to see more packs like this! Also can we please get into how I’d like CARS we can actually DRIVE instead of traveling by phone as well I’m hoping that comes soon
Im so excited for this pack, i haven’t bought a pack in a while but im defo gonna get this one
Me too!
me too, im actually excited for this one!
This is honestly the pack I've been the most excited about since forever, But it's mostly because of the update than the actual pack, just cant waittt
I'm really impressed with the builds, ya girl loves the starter home
I grew up in the north of France, usually we had a big building made of medium two story building (kind of like a puzzle).
It happend to have separates categories but it cost a lot of energy during winter usually.
I grew up in a hotter climate, Arizona, so I, too, am used to widespread campuses. Mine was a double H design. We had a basement only because it was a fallout shelter. The visual arts were also there. Our performing arts area was a separate building that housed Drama, Choir, and band classes. Our Gyms were separate buildings as well. Our main theater was three stories because from 1962-1981, the city's symphony and touring theater companies would perform there. The other multi-storied area had the English, history, and gov on the first floor and the math department on the second floor.
I would rather see some "chemistry" and "atraction" system like in sims 2 then just "plain" sexuality tbh... But thank for this at least... :D
Thanks for covering this. Your videos are a great preview of this xpac. I'm super excite. :D
this xpac looks pretty good. Once you replace the school with a better one it's pretty much perfect in regards to the builds/world itself. The gameplay is typical Sims 4 expectations but I am impressed with the world and the art deco style build/buy. I'm looking forward to seeing what the community does with school lots and I know I'll probably spend most the first day playing by touring a community built schools to use. Excited to see what Lilsimsie does with the space.
At 10:07 you can see that in the family tree, when you scroll over Ash the tree calls them a "daughter" specifically; as Ash goes by they/them pronouns, I'm really hoping that this detail gets changed in the future! It's very likely a small oversight, which is forgivable, but hopefully, it will be changed.
I'm not a native english speaker, how we can call a person who is neither son or daughter? Which is the neutral form do say it?
@@ThatySoaresX9 while uncommon, you could refer to them as “offspring” or simply “their child”
@@angrymumble thank you! I think "offspring" would have been better bc in this way they can keep the one-word pattern.
The town gives me Stars Hollow vibes...and I'm down for that
Agreed, the starter lot can go! I fully intend to use Evergreen Harbor as an overflow town for townies since it also has a mining vibe.
As a Canadian (or at least in my part of Canada which is Quebec), the high school lot reminds me SO MUCH of how our school systems are. High school where I live is grades 7-11 (we have CEGEP which is three years), and then we move on to college. The large high school reminds me so much of my schools, as the average high school has around 1500 students - but obviously there is less teen sims than that who attend the school. I went to four different high schools (one being an alternative school), and this is a list of how things were.
1st high school: All of the extra curriculars were in the basement, also a gym. Then there were two floors for traditional classes. First floor was for grades 7-9, second floor was grades 10-11. Then there were fields outside for sporting activities.
2nd high school: Basement was mainly a second gym and science classes, a few of us also hung out down there for lunch to escape the business upstairs. First floor was the main gym, and grades 9-11. Then there was a half floor for grades 7-8. Honestly, that school had us running around like ants, and as somebody who has an anxiety disorder I DESPISED it (often ditched classes, not going to lie). Then there were fields outside for sporting activities.
3rd high school was a more "special needs" school (I put special needs in quotations as there were some students who were not special needs and their parents just paid good money for them to go there. Then other students were physically handicap, and others had learning disabilities). Basement was extra curriculars. Main floor was the gym, and grade 7. Second floor was grades 8-9. Third floor was grades 10-11. Honestly. walking up all those stairs was a death sentence in the hot weather, and most classrooms didn't even have fans. We also often went to the park down the street for gym class.
3rd high school was an alternative school. No gym class. Main floor was reception and two classes. Top floor was the main classroom, and the hang out room. This school had about 30 students total.
All of the schools with fields also had a huge hangout for smokers and drinkers at lunch. One school also had a forest where some kids would do the dirty at lunch hour. All of this being said, I dropped out of high school in grade 10 as the system failed me with my special needs as even teachers and principals would bully me.
i REALLY need more musical instruments for my gameplay, and they're taunting me with that sad little music room. i feel personally attacked. but also please give me idk, like a music-centric gameplay kit
As someone named Molly- hearing Kayla say “Molly you are on my hit list” was a bit off putting
having the same name as one of her legacy heirs threw me off for so long 😅
thank you so much for running through each household
I can’t wait to see what you do with the high school build! I already know that I will be using it all the time! I can’t wait for this pack!!!!!🥳🎉🎉🎉
Clothing stores in the Sims don't make sense to me. You get it all for free, so the idea of retail clothes and thrift clothes just seem like an easy thing to "add" without adding anything.
I guess it’s good for immersion/ storytelling purposes
I am so excited for this pack! Teens deserve more attention and I’m so excited for my teens to have their own life
This world is fantastic! As a Life is Strange fan, this town heavily reminds me of Haven Springs from Life is Strange: True Colors, but I loved that town anyway so this is definitely a welcome addition to the roster of new worlds!!
edit: the fact it's a highschool pack and two of the townie families are the Prescotts (like Nathan Prescott) and the Prices (like Chloe Price) just ties together the Life is Strange inspiration even more lol
I really liked this detailed video and I'm looking forward to the coming videos with this pack:)
Watching a new youtuber is always like making a new friend
I remember the first video of yours I watched Kayla and I was so confused and didn’t know if I would like your content
But now here I am a year later, looking forward to your sim-obsessed videos every single day💖
this pack will be great with parenthood!
i cannot wait any longer after watching your and vixellas videos on this pack!! im so excitedddd
My high school was mostly one building. The main building had most of the classes, library, and the cafeteria. We had a field house that had the gym, drivers ed, and a couple of the foreign language classes. They had to bring in a few trailers to put in the front of the school because we needed more space in my last 2 years.
Ahhhhh I’m so excited
Honestly, I just want my sim to sit at a sunny Cafe window and drink her coffee without getting up every 5 seconds to change chairs or have rando sims come and sit at my gd table
Born and raised in NYC and we didn't have parking lots (none of the schools around me did, no space for them) and often have multiple schools in one building. My building held 3 different schools that were on different floors of the building.
In Canada, our schools are usually one large building, often with smaller portable classrooms near to the main building (if it's a elementary school). In high school, you'll almost only find a single, larger building. Schools are separated by age, but what age that is, varies on a province to province basis. (provinces are the Canadian equivalent to states.)
EA should also let simmers create new sims for the packs! Like tell them their story and what they should look like, then let them be creative :))
