Get ready to take notes! We're re-discovering our teenage years in the Official Livestream for The Sims 4 High School Years Expansion Pack* on July 15 at 11 AM PT: plpost.info/base/wideo/UGuqSER0mhN
Sims you need to fix your game!why can’t you make groups in high school I want my sim to with there freinds not the prinpal
@Brandelicious well, they did!
Can we do this for sims 3 though? Ive been a hardcore sims player sense sims 1 came out
No thanks i will wait for sims 5
WHEN ARE WE GONNA GET A TRAMPOLINE??!!??!
I’ve known that the sims community has been complaining about the whole “teens look just like adults” thing for awhile but watching this trailer really made me see how evident that was lol
I agree 💯
That’s why we have cc, some people have *been* going to school lmfao
@Andrew Robinson the teenagers are most likely in 12th grade because there’s graduation so I mean.. it’s not that bad if you think about it😅
Things they should add: - School yearbook pictures - cheer, sports, chess, computer club competitions - interactions to do in class (Ex: Sleep, Take notes, pull prank, talk to classmates, etc.) - Teens that ACTUALLY look like teens instead of adults (Make them shorter and add features to their body or face to make them look like teens) - Graduation party or a fixed ceremony (I think it would be cool if sims could throw a graduation party or a functional ceremony and your sims could throw their caps in the air or something!) - Updated school (make an updated school that’s not so empty and make it look like the one in the trailer) - ability to build schools in other worlds - Fire drills or intruders (So It would be kind of like burglars and maybe there should be an option where your sim can pull the fire alarm and get in trouble for it.) - Prom for only one time (I don’t really like the idea of having prom EVERY Saturday) - Bring cliques or like those groups from sims 3 university - School buses that WORK (I mean.. if sims 2 can have a school bus than why can’t Sims 4 have one?) - school divided into 4 levels (like Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior. And if your sims fail than they can be held back for their punishment. ) - more clubs! (They should add more clubs like band, math, book, pottery, and a drama club etc) - group projects so that students can collaborate and work together. - new teacher career
Clearly, they need to hire you! Because why haven't they thought out any of this?! The game isn't interesting anymore. They're just trying to grab our money at this point.
If there were crushes, one-sided love that would be huge. Like good reputation leads to many crushes and if asks on a date and declining leads to one sided interest. High School would be perfect to bring this up!
Да, меня всегда бесило, что в симс 4 если любовь - то у обоих, если ненависть - то тоже у обоих. И так со всем. Нельзя чтобы один был влюблён, а второй ненавидел, или чтобы просто была невзаимная любовь. А ведь по сути разработчикам это не так сложно сделать( но при этом на сколько же игра стала бы лучше, внеси они это изменение...
@Alison Lazarus bless you for this
There is crushes!
I think there is crushes but correct me if I'm wrong
There’s a mod called open love life, where you can have sims get jealous, have one sided relationships and custom set relationship settings (like setting up non-exclusive or FWB) etc. id recommend downloading them, it should be compatible with this pack.
These teens look like 30 year old Buzzfeed employees
😭😭😭😭😭😭
I’m dead 🤣🤣🤣
LMAO TRUE
Girl 💀
@Samantha the eyeliner cat but what about Xbox and PlayStation players? They cant have mods
Praying this pack will turn out well and bug free 🙏. It looks so cool with so many nice features. I will wait for a few days after July 28th to make sure it'll work well and it'll be mine. ❤
@sedriensmorgasbord Turned out to be a disaster just like everything else.
It will be full of bugs haha, expect EA to fix it very slowly in the upcoming year or so
It will definitely not be bug free, but hopefully the bugs won't be completely game breaking for the people who pre-order it or buy it on the first day.
Wishful thinking, honestly.
All I have to say is PERIODDDDDDDD 👏🏾👏🏾 this is what tf I like to seee!!
Aiiiighhht!!!
Can't wait for your stories
@Arc the girl I'm a sims player? I love it? Actually no I love sims 3 🙃 so I'm just saying that sims 4 comes with glitches lmao 😂 remember my wedding stories? Ok.
@kieko Kodama get over it
@Nunu bruh
I feel like this would be more fun if the teens in TS4 actually looked like teens. This trailer was kind of silly to watch it's like the 30 yr olds they cast as high schoolers on Riverdale
yeah this is TV high school 😂
@KenyaGirly fr
Okay so make your teens look like teens?
@Andria♡ honestly, some of the teens in my hometown look 10 years younger but dress 10 years older 😂😂
RIGHT
Been wanting stuff like this for years, to be able to take your Sims through high school, having a carnival you can go to is an extra bonus i never knew i wanted. This expansion is looking to be one i will definitely get day one. Been waiting years for something like this.
I remember being so hyped for the highschool aspect a few days ago. Now I'm only hyped for everything BESIDES the highschool gameplay.
I'm glad to have the socially awkward trait in the game. Now I can replace loner with socially awkward instead, so I can have Insider on my Sim as well.
This is a completely different high school compared to what we got in the game
THIS is what happens when you listen to the community !! this looks so fun & interactive , so many potential storylines… I’m really hopeful for this pack !!
Надеюсь ты не сильно расстроился)
I wonder what the Sims 4 has planed for us sims fans next after this DLC'S is officially out
@Erich Toven there is one it’s called get to work ep
apparently in class your sim doesn't actually interact with it, you just go there, sit down, fast forward then leave. It's a school pack but it really lacks in the class room. Even the zebu school mod had more e.g. ask questions to teachers, themed lessons like playing instruments, science experiments etc.
no one asked for this
Would've been even more awesome if ya'll had TRIED to make the sims LOOK like teens instead of 30/40 yr olds. lol Hope we get to build our own schools too and I hope that we can also have rivalries w/ other high schools.
The trailers are always a thousand times better than actual game play...
Why do they have prom EVERY SATURDAY? And I was a bit disappointed on how empty the school looked like.. there's atleast 7 students
legit i made so many teens to go to school but legit the only sim that goes is the one i’m playing with and some NPC’s im gonna cry, such a waste of money
This is the first pack I've been excited about in a long while. So can't wait for it to drop
I'm so ready for this pack, time to build a school!
@Jesus Saves! i was born in a muslim country so i learnt quran and you were born in a christian country so you have learnt bible and you are a christian. All of the religions are just depends where you have born. If i was born in china or japan, i could believe another god other than jesus and allah. I mean the gods do not exist.
@justianowski 🤓
@Jesus Saves! stop lying.
@Jesus Saves! Choke.
I meant that to @Jesus Saves!
Школа оказалась совсем не такой как в вашем трейлере, к огромному сожалению)
Это ведь правда, что там нельзя ходить на занятия и в школу симы в итоге уходят также, как раньше, просто исчезая с радаров? Просто думаю, это у всех так или у меня просто конфликт дополнения с каким-то модом.
the hype was so high and i was so let down lol the highschool doesn’t even look anything like this
well, all the items from the high school were added so I think the point was to show a bunch of different versions of the high school to show the potential you can have with customizing. Imagine having to take out all of the items just to revamp the school, that would be super annoying
The school in the actual game looks nothing like it does in the trailer
It would be nice if the high school years are divided into 4 levels, freshmen, sophomore, junior and senior so that instead of only 2 classrooms, there should be 4. 1-4 days teens are freshmen, 5-7 days Sophomores, 8-10 Junior then 11-13 Senior and their 14th day is the graduation. Something like that. Then they can also fail and be held back a year or forced to take extra credits to graduate on time. Or, at least use the two classrooms shown in this high school build to distinguish Junior and Senior, 1-7 days Junior, 8-13 days senior then 14th day is graduation. It bothers me that all teens go to same classrooms despite their age difference. Hope the modding community look into this and make it possible. Ah, yes. Classmate interactions like talking, passing notes, or even an option to slack off or be disruptive should be an option.
This is the best... cheerleaders, prom, after school stuff, no rabbit hole, sneaking out windows, body hair, all of the stuff, more stuff for apperance like with the clothing rack, something with social media, graduation... JUST EVERYTHING OMG
@Thomas Jefferson yeah I have seen some vids from early release and I love it. It is kinda disappointing that those are rabbit holes but the rest is amazing soo idrc.
@HeiligeAardappel well considering the videos I've seen of the early release to sim creators, it looks like after school pratice is a rabbit hole. Which is disappointing
„No rabbit holes” really aged like milk huh
@L it's for example when a sim go's to school now... they just disappear and you can't go with them or anything
Whats a rabbit hole
I'm excited for this pack it will make the teen Sims more enjoyable to play usually I just don't interact with the teens till their older
Урааа, наконец что-то интересное !!! Я как раз хотел, чтобы подростки тоже имели свой собственный контент, который бы разнообразил их жизнь. Выглядит заманчиво)) ждем !!! И ещё хотелось бы контент для детей помладше
“Daddy, can I have the car after school today?” “Sweetie, this is the Sims 4.” “Oh, right.”
Love Mxmtoon’s remix of sad disco! Really suits the trailer!
I never got to go to prom! I'm so excited that my sims can! 🤩
Covid ruined my chance
u didnt miss anything.
@Titan Blade samee😭
Lmao me too cuz I'm feeling like embarrassed about my body.
@Chris Ka literally slayed
I looked at what to put in my house and I literally saw a cheerleading mat a football a microphone and other things and a vlog computer you literally did not just make a awesome expansion pack for The Sims 4 thank you so much I am in awe with the new expansion pack
I'm actually excited about this pack! This trailer is making me nostalgic and homesick for my high school days (that looked nothing like this trailer). I hope this pack comes out finished and will be a good catharsis for all those days when things don't go well at your school IRL (or to live out your dream school experience). It'll be cool if the inclusivity also extends to various school types & inclination of students.
на данный момент это дополнение больше всех меня заинтересовало, достаточно много новых механик и взаимодействий. штош, буду ждать это дополнение :)
I’m so excited for this pack! Don’t really want to play until it comes out! Lol I just hope that when your teen go to school, all of the teens in one household can go together and all of the teens in your world are there together too(I say this because of Zerbu Go To School Mod) I want my school to be packed out! All classrooms and hallways full & busy! Also, I hope that we can apply for jobs at the school and travel with them. Then if it’s detention, we gotta have parent teacher conferences and suspension right !? Im most excited for the cheerleaders!!! I have so many storylines I’m ready to bring to life😩!
omg?? this looks phenomenal
Nobody talks about it but... he has hairy legs !
Hi Ashley!!
Oh my goodness Ashley!!!!! I'm a huge fan!!!
i know this pack is going to be everything we asked for, they included just about everything they could have now if only all of our high school experiences were this inclusive and lively! lol seriously though, i’m getting such sims 2 vibes from this with a modern day touch and i’m in love with the pack alrwady❤️
Oh how long the dream to control the Sims in school has been! I know I will love this!
Seria bom ter uma expansão mostrando as crianças nas escolas também, com toda aquela coisa de crush de infância, e pregar peças na sala de aula também
i’m absolutely obsessed. by far gonna be one of the best packs in the game. i cannot wait to play
The fact it isn't a rabbit hole has me excited! Plus, this trailer was amazing 👏
Pk
in a post get to work world thr expectation should be we aren't getting a rabbit hole which is a shame considering how many rabbit holes have been released since thst
@Danilo Marinho Rabbit holes are events/places you don't see. The Sims just disappear and you have to use your imagination. It looks like the school won't be a rabbit hole but the rides at the amusement park will.
@Serendipityx what is rabbit holes?
@Xx true
THIS is what happens when you listen to the community !! this looks so fun & interactive , so many potential storylines… I’m really hopeful for this pack !!
This looks great! I've wanted an expansion like this for years!
Как это офигенно! Открытая школа! Со шкафчиками и всей этой атмосферой. Парк атракционов, школьный бал, фото будки, танцы в паре (наконец-то я этого очень ждала!) и черлидинг! Волосы на теле и бритьё! ЭТО ТАК КРУТО!!! Так много всего 😍😍😍😍 жду
@Julia R. omg you guys are so cute
@Julia R. It sucks and it's sad🤣🤣😭😭🤣🤣🤣the old grandmother will cry, that is, it's me
@кр oh for me its also almost 9PM 😂 I thought it was a difference
@кр i dont have Insta and any social media like this because if i have it, i spend too much time on it ☹️
@Julia R. You have insta. Maybe we'll talk there. Don't think anything bad, it's just interesting to communicate with a person from another country 😅
This trailer has to be one of my favourites!! I cant wait to get this, after werewolves was so good!
Imagine we’re all getting our hopes up for high school and it’s like a double decker hot tub or something 😭😭😭
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 right
@Dundee *cough* my wedding disaster
@Kiera K you don't play enough the dims to be disappointed comstantly
The way my heart would drop
I want a double decker hot tub 😩
the trailer makes it look so much better than it is
I mean, I think it's still highly enjoyable, but maybe that's just me
THIS! this is what we have been asking for for years! I haven't played sims in a few months, might be time to get back into it!
It sure is this pack actually feels like it could fit in with Sims 2 or 3 expansions that expands on the game in a new way
LET US BUY THE SIMS 2!
NO LO QUIERO...LO NECESITO!!!! DIOS QUE EXPANSIÓN MAS HERMOSA!!! LLORO 😭💜✨
Ok this trailer was so exciting im ready to age my young adults down to live their teenage years for this pack!!😂
@RonniStyles you're welcome 💕
@Miranda Voorbraak - van Aert I didn't know this. Thank you!
@RonniStyles you have to use cheats, first use testingcheats true, then cas.fulleditmode to make full edits in CAS including their age, gender, etcetera :). If you go in CAS after you've entered this cheat you can adjust their age on the top left of the screen.
Lol I have the Heathers, Veronica, JD from Heathers, Carrie White and Co from Carrie, the BMC cast, and Mean Girls ready/in the works for this pack lol
@RonniStyles with life points or whatever they called it's what u earn when u do whims, task your sim what's to do or achieve your dreams
I desperately want to use this pack to recreate Euphoria!!
I’m so excited, this pack looks so good
The Sims really know how to make us believe that this expansion pack will make the game more fun with additional unique gameplay. But nahhh, it was a big disappointment. For ppl yet to buy the pack, save your money. DON'T BUY THIS PACK.
I love it. Just what teenagers needed
High schools, body hair, cheerleaders, prom, amusement parks, photo booths, the ability to shave.. I'm seriously at a loss for words. This is everything I ever wanted in the Sims 4, ever! Finally glad that EA are giving the fans what we've been wanting for ages now. Can't wait for the update to drop
@Nimh those are all things I have heard people say again and again. It’s DEFINITELY listening to (at least a huge portion of) the community.
And it still wouldn't be a better game than The Sims 2 and The Sims 3 LMAO
@Ishtar Clover university was a lot more lackluster than what we're shown here, let's be real. When Discover University was announced, I was expecting to attend classes, actually interact with my classmates, getting invited to the clubs based on my reputation/popularity and so on, but we got neither of that. Classes were all rabbit holes, you never really knew who your classmates were, and clubs were just mehh. The only real take there was hostel living ig, and the students there who I guess were your classmates? Even though upon asking they'd almost always have different majors, so there is that. Here however, you can actually see your sims attending classes, talking to teachers and you can actually see for one, a proper high school environment with everything, so I think this pack is gonna be everything DU could have been. Maybe some modders can use that and improve on the university pack a bit, idk
You meant you want a remade for university extension? Why???
@Naiya M and teen pregnancy
Not only they did an amazing job by doing this pack but also did I just saw some hints for a music/band pack through the trailer?? I can’t WAIT for it 🤩
this genuinely looks like an awesome EP!
Looking forward to this pack, also hope there will be a pack that expands on children, hope there will be a basegame update of babies.
Omg! I have been waiting for this to come out for so long, I have a teenage sim and I never get to play with her because once she gets home she needs to do the homework and stuff then she's tired. With this I can play with her so much more along with my other teenage sims
this trailer was so exciting
yes.
Yes sims preschool/daycare years, primary school years....
There was charming characters, interesting plot, perfect showcase of what's comming But most important.... 𝘚𝘦𝘯𝘢𝘴𝘤𝘰
I am super excited!! Now I can finally have a love story without my Teens actually missing school!! This makes me want to restart my game in start fresh. 🤣💖.. I can't wait I just hope it isn't glitchy..
I was in the hospital for my high school years, so this is really appealing to me. Nothing seriously life threatening, I just developed Epilepsy, and had brain surgery because of allergies to medicines that help control epilepsy. By the time the doctors approved a medicine I'm not allergic too in the USA, I was ready to age out, so they let me wear the robe and get a certificate. I realize tmi, but I just need to unload sometimes, so sorry comments.
After finding out how the pack does not run well with other packs and cheerleaders can’t even work on school grounds and the patch has caused some unfortunate glitches its safe to say this trailer is a lie. So sad cause the trailer makes it look amazing. Why can’t parenthood work with this ?
@Marissa T Well seeing as I am waiting for other mods i use to be updated I won't update my game yet. I already bought the pack. I will hunt down for those mods once the mods I use are updated. I can't play without mods since Sims 4 is boring without them.
@MewtwoShadowFNaFGirl I hope they fix it soon too. I did see that some modders already fixed a few issues.
@Marissa T That is not a good sign at all. Most Sims players want to play the game with all the packs. Not just one. I just hope a fix comes soon. If not then I guess we will wait for modders to fix this since that is what is happening at this point now.
Its like they forgot about every previous pack and only made this around base game.
Woah, this might become the best pack as of yet! Super excited! I love it
this expansion looks really good and it seems like it has a lot of game play but the trailer just showcase one of my biggest peeves with this game and it's that teenagers don't look like teenagers... like you could tell me this expansion it's for university and i wouldn't be able to tell the difference
@AnastasiaLUVSU actually it's been a mixture depending on where you are. In my years in HS (bounced from a few of them). There was always a mixture of heights and maturity. Puberity hits everyone different and I think that's what people are trying to say. In every school I went to from freshman to senior, there was always a big mixture of heights and maturity. Some were taller and looked old but that never overshadowed the half that looked more mid height and not quite adult and then there was another half that were short and remained short (heck, a lot of us girls in my area were verrrry short, myself included, after even HS). What's getting to simmers is, we're noticing the lack of variety in this case.
@LemonBunny Kids would jump to pre teens if they would make them. I guess they're saving it for another time.
@Tabia Lundy hella looking foward to that
@Nikoletta Bakó They are adding like facial piercings and earrings in like every pack now, I don't think people would get upset at different options, especially for skin types. I do hope the shaving/body hair is decent for this pack, I'm excited to see that.
@MrBowser Teenagers dont have a certain look. the only thing that's makes them teens are their ages.
really want to be able to download this version of the highschool! they should definitely put it on the gallery bec the one right now is just.. not it
Excited to buy this! I hope they bring back private school for sims. I loved the challenge of schmoozing the headmaster.
It's great! 😍 This is definitely what I expected!
This should already be included with the Discover University expansion, which on its own was a major letdown as it's only really rabbitholes.
OH MY GOSH ARE YOU TELLING ME THERE IS A SOCIAL MEDIA AND ALSO A BODYHAIR UPDATE??? And this pack looks amazing! Everything we asked for♥️
It's insane to me how people call this pack a waste of money. Like, they legit added boba tea. There are so many CLOTHES, I guess I see how people say it should've been a game pack but the school is still functional! I always had a hard time having my teenage sims meet other teens and this is a great opportunity for that! The social media and thrift shop alone would've sold it for me. And people act like they aren't getting what they paid for 🙄 If you're going and getting upset over this, what life do you have outside of The Sims? I'm a simmer too, but what does it take for people to be happy with what they get?
Nobody talks about it but... he has hairy legs !
IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS PACK!! 🥹💜 It’s giving me sims 3 vibes, and I am HERE FOR IT!
I’m suuuuper excited!! But I just have one tiny request.. can we please make the teen sims look younger than they do now?? They look just like the adults 😭 and I’m not saying this to be a debby downer- just would like to make the game more realistic but otherwise this is such a fun idea!!!
I think this takes the place as the most misleading sims trailer. In the actual game the high school is a completely different building 😭 and everywhere looks so busy all of the time, but the actual game is really empty in comparison.
I like the idea of hang out spots after school and maybe spa day. Hope they can have high school sweet hearts.
werewolves + high school means Monster High to me ❤️ i’m definitely going to be having all the occults attend school this isn’t regular high
@Siren_DarkOcean_Official You cant add them if the imaginary sims worked the same as the ones in sims 3
YES EXACTLY :’) I want the whole works vampire witches and werewolf HS
Same thoughts xD
@Sourdirewolf I own both the Vampires and Werewolves, and you've just given me one hell of an idea.
Twilight moment
Yayyyyy finally a pack worth getting for me lol. I almost want to uninstall a majority of the other packs to ensure it will function properly and I don't even want to touch my game until this comes out !! Best birthday month present ever thanks EA
I’ve been asking for this pack for YEARS IM SO EXCITED
okay another of my ideas, they should add the pre-adolescents to finish the life stages of the sims, and give the option to the adolescents to go for a baby and that they must take care not to reach it, improve the infants , more clothes, pacifiers ect.
This will make teen sims so much more playable, finally.
I’m the most excited about that carnival… the rides, scenery, haunted house! Wow… cotton candy and pizza booths would be great, maybe some fortune telling, ouija boards etc.
@Chanel Nomad i mean i think it’s fine, it’ll give them a chance to make an amusement park pack
@soobinsfallenhairstrand Yup. I believe anything we can’t see into is a rabbit hole.
@Chanel Nomad the ferris wheel?
@soobinsfallenhairstrand They are rabbit holes. If you look closely you’ll see that we can’t look through the windows.
@Polarwe don’t know if they’re rabbit holes yet
New pack coming out this month?! Exiting. I like the look of it, I just got sims on my pc after having it on consolewith many packs, so I only have base game at the moment on my pc. This will probably be the first one I’ll buy if I have the money at the time.
So are we finally getting body hair that growd overtime! That would be super cool and would love to have it implemented into the game.
Omigosh, I'm so ready to get a laptop now! I need to start working and save up. I REALLY miss playing the sims 4. And I love the braided hairstyle for the black guy, yes! Now I don't have to download a mod. Keep the ethnic hairstyles coming EA. Also, everything looks AMAZING!! 😍🥺👏🏽❤
