I rebuilt the high school to be a modern eco school with so many enriching activities and there’s nobody f*cking there
Yeah I’m not paying 40$ for a pack so imma wait until its on sale
@@OfficialWednesdayAddams good choice i always wait for black Friday to buy packs
@@sun_haven yep 🥰
@@OfficialWednesdayAddams im gonna download it for free
there’s a new mod to increase the class sizes to 18, 24, or 40 students! u could use that with littlemisssam’s more visitors mod and fill up your school completely ! also sorry if you’re on console bc this isn’t helpful then
I've built myself a japanese highschool a couple if months ago just for fun, and was super excited when this pack was announced and that I can actually try it with gameplay. To my surprise, it works completely (when updated with the necessary items). I love playing in it, the original building looked so depressing.
Is it on the gallery? I'm on a hunt for non-US ones because I just can't handle so much USA in my games, despite the whole neighourhood being very USA.
Could you please share the tray files?
I want to do a japanese school but I’m not good at building
I'd love to see it. Did you share it on the gallery?
@@SugiyamaHiromin I immediately started hearing the Team America- "America, F*** Yeah!!" song in my head. Now it's stuck in there. Thanks. Thanks for that. Thanks a lot. It took me two weeks to get it out last time.
I cannot believe JUST how much nicer those fan-made Copperdale High Schools were. It looked attractive and welcoming, and like you say 'cosy and colourful'. It felt more like a real place that's been used and loved, rather than big, empty spaces with some chairs and tables plopped in, in front of a white board or a cafeteria section nearby.
3:23 I think those are suppose to be the gym locker rooms. You put your stuff there when your changing out for gym.
I watched her build that one, I think she mentioned the bathrooms off the gym were to mimic the ones for the Home and Away athletes to use before and after games. I was never an athlete like that😅 so I took her word for it
Can’t believe people haven’t heard of a locker room 😳 it’s normal for PE class right..??
@@denim4938 in my highschool in France the lockers are only for books and stuff, in a separate room near the reception. For PE class we had a changing room with open showers, but no lockers. We just leave our stuff on benches and coat hangers, and the teacher closes the room after everyone is out.
I think James Turner's high school was only base game and high school years. I like how he really thought about routing issues and eliminating things that make your sim take longer to get to class while still making it look very "school-like."
he did this for his rebuild of the get to work hospital too. i like that he thinks about the details.
in my school in Germany we had two speacial classrooms with platforms, so this was very special for us every time we had classes in this rooms, it was very fun in the back rows
I am using the high school built by James Turner YT. The rooms are close together so it does not take the Sims forever to get from place to place. Highly recommend. 👍 💓
how do you place lots on the high school lot?? it won't let me:(
Weird, they didn't seem to care much about performance when they released Journey to Batuu. Try running around in Batuu on a lower-end laptop or PC. That is why I'll never buy that excuse again. They're literally just lazy.
BTW, they had a decorated version of the school during the live stream. So they will decorate it for a live stream, but not for the actual release. Incredible.
There are some British ones! I created one under JemmaTheSimmer which is based on my school, called Robert Piggott School as that's my old school name (but I did add in the American footballs and cheer for some stuff to do, but the rest is pretty accurate). It's based on a more rural school so multiple buildings and not second storey bits, open areas like the playground and grass quad. It uses some packs but not a load.
Also I'll now have to go make a base game and high school only one now as there are so few! Pity the gallery filters are awful for finding schools.
Simmers: “I hate the sims 4 ”
Also simmers: *plays the sims 4 everyday and preorder every pack*
I don't hate the Sims 4 but am so disappointed with this game. 😑
EA: 🤑🤑🤑
That's why EA doesn't care that we complain. A large part of the players simply buys everything EA throws at them...
@@benn87 This is also why anyone who thinks The Sims 5 will be any different must be taking heavy drugs
Honestly though simmers are the ones who make the game at this point. I mean I haven’t heard of anyone who actually kept the original school build and it’s the same with a lot of sim buildings. Also mods seriously make such a difference to the game and add so much gameplay that the sims team doesn’t do.
I hate the sims because I feel like I shouldn’t need all of this to enjoy the game. I want a pack that I like the way it is without having to add mods or different buildings
That's a good idea to have an option for people with lower end PCs and I'm so glad you added one from simlicy too, I LOVE her channel!
ah yes, sims gallery builds with 500 packs😍
The small black mark districted me for so long I’ve had to watch this twice to hear what was actually said 💀
I thought that mark was something wrong with my monitor and had a mini panic 😅
i thought there was something wrong with my screen lmaoo
@@realjoleaco I thought the same with my phone!
@@mima7774 I kept wiping my screen clear for me to realise it was in the video 💀
where is it?
I wonder if the whole purpose of making it bland was to encourage people to customize their school. It doesn’t seem obvious enough, however, when we view the trailer, what we’re seeing in one shot is the same exact hallway looking completely different every few frames. These of course are just the surface details like walls, flooring, and stairs, but perhaps that was the point. I’m not excusing HSY for how bad it actually is overall, but on this one thing it seems like the idea was to change the school as you see fit so they kept it more bare bones as a starting point.
Yes it does makes sense but the bland and empty high school still sucks.
I think you're right: they want us to put our own builds there, and they want Simfluencers to make videos about the builds to advertise the pack for them. I know that Maxis builds are usually er... 'not the best' to say the least, and I usually feel the urge to just bulldoze every single default building over time and replace it with my own builds. I usually just have this mellow 'ew' kind of reaction, but I can always find something that I actually like about the build and I take it from there. But Maxis builds usually aren't THIS godawful. When I just got the pack, I sent some teen Sims in to just test it before the school year started for them. You know, just to get a feel for how long it's going to take my Sim to get anywhere, scope out the interactable items on the lot, claim some lockers in advance, etc. Just some general pre-gameplay scout work. And my first thought about that default school was: 'Oh, dear lord! This hot mess almost makes that Realm of Magic building look nice by comparison...' That school is not practical during regular gameplay by a long shot, and that's really the build's main issue.
Sounds like the case, but again nobody asked for this. They want money for something we have to finish themselves? It's absurd.
They could have at least uploaded the more customised versions to the gallery, so we had the choice of something better even if we aren't builders ourselves.
@@szyszysz The same can be said about mods. It seems like EA is relying on the community to make the game really playable and fun. I don't think that's good!
LMAO 6:21 "So this is the one I'd say you should have if you have a really crappy laptop that sounds like it's about to explode and take off like a rocketship every single time you turn it on"
There is this mod for unlimited students in HS by Aramiteus, perfect opportunity to create a HS chaos experience.
It's a locker room, it's where you change before gym or a basketball game.
Satch: This school is for you if your computer sounds like it is going to explode.
Me: Um, if you don’t like me that’s fine. But, you know...watch your mouth.
Locker in the bathroom... might be for gym. Though the bathroom would usually be separated from the changing area where you can find the lockers, I can totally visualise having the changing room combined with the bathroom.
I made a massive one with a two story theater in it. Plus a ton more. I called it Ultimate Copperdale High because of how much I put in it.
I just realised. We might not like rabbit holes for stuff, but if we could get cutscenes for things like graduation, so they didn’t need to worry about filling a room with sims and stuff, just programming your sim to walk up to another sim and take a certificate and there’s chances of it going funny or bad or normal or great, that would be so cool. I keep saying I want cutscenes like the sims 2 ones back, because it made it feel like I was really telling a story, and this just came to mind and the idea is just so fun
I agree! They would look cute☺️
Personally I modified totally the auditorium to look like a gymnasium because I wanted more room on the actual high school plot
Also career day was transformed to a school festival so that it looks more lively
I like EA's excuse of "Well some people play on laptops." I did for 5 years, starting from 2014. Bought a 400$ Toshiba. Ran every game except Sims 3, and a lot of them were intensive multiplayer games. I could play literally everything on Medium, as can EVERY SINGLE LAPTOP MADE SINCE 2010. The only computers that cannot get above Low graphics are NOTEBOOKS, which YOU CANNOT PLAY SIMS 4 ON ANYWAY. So they're designing a game around players that DO NOT EVEN EXIST. And it's so hilarious to see just how stupid they really are.
What's even worse is that this game only has the graphics going for it. The gameplay is so absolute garbage that if EA said tomorrow "We're deleting all gameplay and making this a house builder," everyone would accept that and be HAPPIER because now they're going to actually get a proper game. By the actual design of the game, Sims 4 is strictly a house builder. They have bait and switched all of us for years claiming they have gameplay, yet every new pack is missing the actual gameplay, or it's simply so broken that it's not even worth attempting to use at all.
Plus, if they were worried about people's laptops, they could have just made it smaller?? The hallways and canteen/lunchroom were way too long and big for those 20 lockers and 12 CHAIRS. And if they did that, that bare minimum interior would have looked less pathetic because the tight space would hide it. Plus, I'm European (Slav) and most schools here don't have hallways that big anyways, maybe the US has oversized hallways too.
To be honest I do feel like it's a house builder because that's all I do on it there is literally nothing else without mods XD
If I'm honest, I don't even really like the graphics that much. The worlds are very pretty, but I hate the rubbery, cartoony sims, making their Jim Carey faces at everything.
@@SugiyamaHiromin Can't speak for all schools ofc, but I don't think my elementary, middle, or high school had particularly huge hallways; they would definitely always be pretty full and chaotic between classes. My mom taught at a different hs with a much larger student body, and even then the hallways didn't seem huge. I think it really is just that the sims team are lazy when they have to make builds!
@@mackenziedesire7515 So it's either EA going way too big on the lot and building with same restictions or copying those giant schools in movies even though they don't allow half of the numbers those have.
While it uses a lot of packs (cough look for anad1us toggler cough), Katnet1c has uploaded a "Danish Highschool" that feels a bit closer to us europeans.
I still hadn't brought this pack and in no rush to do so. Appreciate others playing it and sharing it, so thank you.
Lilsimsie also has a second high school that she built once she had the other packs to work with; that's the one I downloaded and personalized.
jus now seeing this video after decorating my new world ! damn these are some nice schools ! lol
I really want to buy this pack (on sale only of course) and build my high school I went to just because of the weird shape it was with a giant bridge overtop of a road with like 4 pillars holding it up…we called it the bridge of death (did I mention it was mostly windows)
This is what's bugging me about Sims content lately - you have to work to fix the game. Is it so much to ask that builds be aesthetically pleasing? I don't understand why they didn't have Simmers build the high school lot.
There's all kinds of mods you can add to the game to make high school years work well/be more fun and realistic. But why? If you have to add mods anyway, why not just get the "get to school" or turbo careers mods that basically do what this pack does anyway?
The Japanese High Schools are very nice. The Japanese youtubers are fantastic builders.
I made a high school years and a base game only high School. Mine is art deco. Origin ID Simtastic. I also made something that I haven't seen any other simmer make, which is a boarding school. There are two dorm buildings. One for males one for females. I mean you could have both male or both female or whatever LOL. I made a place for a reception area if you have get to work, you can just remove front cafeteria door and sit the reception desk there and it will look fine. I try not to put too many objects because of lag also. I love simlessly and little simsy, and I think they did a great job as usual!
I've made myself my own sunnydale high. Living out my vampire slayer fantasies
The sims showing some amazing high-school and giving us the bare bones of a building is insane. I swear you can't do this?? That's literally false advertisement.
Whilst I love seasons, I wouldn't buy any other pack because they're such a waste of money I could spend on my book addiction
6:25 - Sometimes my dad will be like “Is it raining?” And I have to tell him it’s my laptop 🤣🤣
I dunno if you've ever had/been to a career day, but at least in my high school it was literally just a handful of sad tables set up in the "career center" (just kind of a sad... library/computer space? I never understood its existence tbh) and the hallway outside of the lunchrooms. In other words, the career day setup always looking pretty dismal seems 100% accurate!
I'm using LilSimsie's school (just "de-Americanized" a bit), and I'm very pleased with it!
He's posted once again💅👁👄👁
I’m in the process of planning and mapping mine out. I think I’m gonna really go for that Art Deco look with the new build items they’ve given us, but only stick to the default swatch for the exterior (which is a sandy beige). I’m debating on whether or not I should add an accent color, either orange or the red-orange with green swatch. The thing is, with solely beige, it looks a bit boring, but with color accents, it gets very bold and almost circus-like. The interior will be the green swatch for sure, because for some reason, I just can’t think of the interior of Copperdale High being anything else but green 😂
A high school refresh with real classes like art and science etc would be awesome but yeahhhhhh
I think that Plumbella made a high school modeled after schools in Great Britain.
One thing I have a gripe with is, these schools are modeled after American high schools, SO WHY DO THE CAFETERIA TABLES HAVE REMOVABLE CHAIRS!!?? I have never been to a school where it wasn't a bench/table combo. Cause.. ya know.. kids throw things! But that's what I always change, even when I place a better highschool lot. Its just more realistic for American high schools.
The EA school looks like a 1960's school. I use it but I totally made it over to look better.
I don't really understand their explanation for why EA builds are so empty. I am currently playing the Sims on a very old, very tragic laptop. I got it used in like 2018 for like $300 and somehow I am able to play my gigantic houses, filled to the brim with furniture and paintings and rooms for all 8 Sims in my family. I have every expansion pack besides pets, snowy escape and seasons(I want seasons but I've convinced myself that seasons will break my game lmao it's running all these EPs and loads of game & stuff packs & even some kits but I suspect the rain and snow fall would be too much for the poor dying HP laptop to handle)
So yeah if my sad laptop can handle the game, I think the Sims team could have made the school slightly less empty without issue
And I took the base game one and just improved it myself.. first floor, because I have a Mod to increase the number of students and double the server in the cafeteria, I added I think I got 6 tables of 6 chairs and the two server stations in the cafeteria.. the class rooms are at each end of the cafeteria and the lockers are out front of the class rooms and cafeteria.. and so are some bathrooms.. behind the cafeteria is the basketball court.. on the right side next to class room #2 is the principle office and the Staff Lounge.. on the other side next to class room #1 is the student Lounge with TV.. in the basement under the gym we have the Olympic size swimming pool, and then the computer room, the chess room, the janitors clean room and the work out room with the exercise equipment.. and more bathrooms and showers.. moving up to the 2nd floor, we have areas where students can learn skills with a music room with Pianos in it, next to that a study room with a study table and book shelves, next to that is a bigger room for more equipment biology, robotic wood working, archeology table, the micro scope, chemical analyzer, and chemistry lab.. then out on the roof there I have a big telescope.. another room the juice fizzer, the candle maker, flower arranger, and third floor, I got 4 beds.. sims do get tired from time to time, and its a good place where sims go and cry under the covers.. maybe they need a nap or whatever.. but 4 small bed rooms for rest.. two photo studios, another music room with guitars and violins, and microphones, and another room with lots of painting easels.. and for the cheer leaders, they got mats to work on their cheers both in the basement hallway and the third floor hallway.. and outside, I got two rocket ships that can be built by the students.. as well as some Cows, Llamas, Chickens, using debug, LOL and gardens to grow things.. just about everything you can think of that helps increase knowledge, its here, and this school functions like a well oiled machine.. kids have no problems getting around.. a few will use the basketball court.. and occasionally someone will use the pool.. so everything here does get used.. some things more then others... in the class rooms, I got a teachers desk with a lap top on it.. and 15 desks for students in class, and 4 more desks with lap tops in the back of the class rooms.. and book shelves on other side of the class room.. 5 desks wide 3 deep and then 4 desks wide with the lap tops in the back. and again, it functions perfectly.. and when classes start, the kids at the back on the lap tops get up and use the other desks for the class..
I love how you say “but”…. It reminds me of Danika from Love Island 🤣🤩
in america high schools we usually have a locker room so we can get ready before/after gym
I love lilsimsie’s high school because although I have a gaming pc I don’t like builds being too busy
I kinda want someone to make a mod where there's more classes (and the classes are only 2 hours or less) and then you can have more subjects and actually choose which subjects your sims can have, and each class you have to do at least 1 task per class and if you get every task done in every class, you can become a A-student.
I wish I could make mods lol😂, i have so many good ideas
It’s funny because of how different our stuff is in America compared to the British but almost the same… eh not really lol. In the 2nd build the chorus room is like spot on perfect and the cafeteria. I feel like build one is what a British school looks like and build two is most definitely American. Except the pool should be indoors and the classrooms waaaayyyy bigger. The teachers lounge and the front desk is so cute! Can’t wait to get my hands on this pack. Gonna replicate a mini version of McDowell (the high school I went too)
Damn, I‘m too early and currently working so I don’t know what to say. Anyways Satch, you look sultry and iconic as always 💅🏼✨
it might just be me, but never did i ever have chairs in a dining hall at any school. where's the stools at? or benches?
The amount of ppl that have made High Schools a million times better than EA is amazing lol. I love all these builds and I built one and its just so fun to make!
I don’t know if the high school pack is out yet but i want it now. Like my computer cant TAKE any more cc
It's been out for about 2 weeks now
@@monsterglacier oh-
Hey mate I saw in the des that ur not wearing lipstick and it’s a natural shade btw that’s the same with me! :)
can you build a hs that looks like a real US public high school? alot of the builds are too symmetrical and fancy looking
I think the beginner-friendly Pc stuff is a lot of nonsense that some people are spreading. In my opinion, EA simply didn't want to take any risks after Sims 3. It was very buggy from the beginning and got worse with every pack. Ironically, Sims 4 also has a lot of problems. That's why I would like EA to use a well-tested engine for the new Sims instead of a custom engine again. But that will probably remain a dream...
I never really understood that. I had a Toshiba Satellite laptop that ran TS3 just fine. I never really had any issues until Island Living, and we all know how that turned out. I didn't play with every pack installed, but I usually had WA, Ambitions, Uni, Supernatural, Pets, and Generations installed, along with a TON of store stuff, with no issues at all. I used to play with it hooked to the tv, so the laptop was playing Sims and usually Netflix or UA-cam at the same time.
You should build a British high school! That would be really cool
3:22 Is it not normal to have a changing room and showers at a school? They’re normally attached or near the gym. The lockers have different things in there to the normal hallway lockers.
Plumbella… SHE HAS A UK STYLED ONE
I was working on recreating the Highschool but because I’m not much of a builder it doesn’t look that much better 😭😭
3:22 there locker rooms, in American schools we have locker rooms to change into our gym clothing
People made some nice schools! That's the upside to TS4; you can always build it yourself. The only thing that can't be changed and what's really a downside to HSY is the gameplay. Why didn't EA make attending class a bit more interactive? I'll buy the pack in a sale(hope October?), mainly for the thrifting fashion gameplay.
Some of you never went to an underfunded inner city high school and it shows
I’m currently re building this high school into a smaller modern one
5:40 I didn't know LilSimsie uploaded actual content.
@Vessel I wasn't sure she did anything on-line other than being a UA-camr.
Why would you get rid of the chess tables and replace them? Its literally the chess club room, you can see the banner on the wall
is there a way to override the school with this build? or no?
Me who has a gaming pc but sounds like a rocket:👁👄👁
Can u tell me how to place lots on the high school lot?.. i'm so tired of simmers showing gorgeous builds on lots that don't even allow you to place anything😥
Air hockey? You mean ping pong?
i would absolutely love to build my own school but i dont think the pack is worth buying just for that..
I'm on the hunt for a mod where I can make any lot a "high school"
Me: plays the Sims with all graphics on high with 25gbs of mods and all packs installed on a 7 year old laptop that sounds like it's gonna explode still downloading decked out high schools 😂
I replaced the lot before I even touched the default lot LMAO
Waiting for the mod that allows more people on school lots
i want a british school!!!
HI! I renovated mine and when I try to play it I can't join my sims to go to school 😭 what should I do??
Make a new game lol
Hi love you satch ❤️❤️❤️❤️
My laptop being insulted in a British accent is in no way mean 😅😢😊😊❤😂
Waiting for the sale price :) I can buy it now but I refuse
1:57 air hockey??
Depending on where you live, the bland high school might actually be true to life... XD
POV: your early but doesn’t know what to say
@Adrika lol
I feel alot of the builds have alot of/all packs bcs alot of people play the game thru cracks bcs of how expensive it is
You don't have access to the gallery if you cracked the game (at least that's what I got told, and it makes sense)
I just got the pack 😂I'll try make it look more like an Norwegian high school in my game, this is very american..
It's so sad that simmers, cc creators and moders are more talented than EA
Wait did u just call table tennis “air hockey”?
If that's the result of it, I think it's time to say "get a new computer already. -_-" decorate the places ffs
No single school in my country has a pool, y'all rich or what? :')
it could have been better that is true
How do u search up the copper dale high school cause idk how
Btw it sims 4 a sandbox game
im getting sick and tired of sims4 advertising something that is basically a lie
they hype up the trailers for the packs and then by time you buy it and play it im started to feel scammed basically
Infeel like the moders are doing the REAL work sims 4 would have died ages ago without them
and dont get me started with all the problems that are just never ending
I still can't play mine that error comes up and I can't go to the lot it reloads to the world menu 💔💔 is there a mod fix or a fox for it yet 🤯
There should be an option for a simplistic EA build and a Full EA build. This base game school is empty, lifeless and bland cardboard.
Does anyone know how to play Sims4 offline?!
The original is just wayyyyy too big
No one cares that you don¨t like that we say that but it is the fricking truth!
When you said to get rid of the chess table, I realized you haven't actually played the expansion fully... Because there's no swim team or basketball team, there isn't even an american type football team (so there's no need for a gym), but there is a chess club. There is a computer club and daily tasks like "workout".
Everybody forgets that the devs make crappy builds because it's a "build it better" game. They make crappy townie sims so you'll give them a makeover. Yeah, it's a dollhouse, but it's a dollhouse unique to you and your tastes. The commercial was showing you the potential, not the reality.
Play with life.
That's not a rugby ball, sweety, rugby balls don't have laces.
its very similar to one. unsure why thats all you took from the video.
@@asamabry because I played rugby
The first school,I don't own most of the packs i olny have 5.bc i am a bit poor and here in portugal the packs are way more cheap are 39,99 for an expasion 19,99 for an game pack,sadly most of us can't bought things bc we don't get money enough so,i could olny effort 5 packs.
