Idea: School Daze Game Pack (Idea).

edited January 2018 in The Sims 4 Ideas Corner
I understand that there is a lot more interaction with Sims 4 in teaching your kids skills at home. But is it too much to ask for that like Get To Work, that school could be just as interactive? School Daze Expansion Pack, perhaps the ability of Child and Teen sims to interact with the teachers in classes if you choose to, instead of it being a rabbit-hole like in TS3...during class hours. If you're going to give us less than TS3 with regards to travelling around town, then how about fleshing out school as well: for those who don't want to "home-school" their kids and see their marks go down.

interactive field trips: have the teacher take them to various places for field trips, utilize those as skill-building interactions.

Just a thought from a TS3 player.

    I think it's a great idea!! And if you don't want to travel with them, let them go on their own or to boarding school.

    If they go and do something with high school I want it in detail and done right so its something I don't just do once and never go back to it like "cough" Get to Work...

    I want something that works like the yoga trainer mat only for classrooms with the teacher up front at the chalkboard and 8 or so desk that fit into the slot so they could follow along and do the work and not get up with options like (History 1 hour). It would also be great to have a football field with the option to create a high school football team that can practice or play against another team if you have another school set in a different world otherwise a team of townies. Another thing I'd like to be able to create is a cheerleading team with a few routines and do school plays with a theater set up. Be nice to have a cafeteria and a office for the principal for those teens who pull pranks or are goofing off in class.
    Sims 4 went from "You Rule" to "One of the stories we want you to tell"

    I don't know about high school and grammar school, but I definitely want to see college return. I loved it in Sims 2 and 3.

    I did too. That was a great add-on with some interesting Sim interactions in it from what I remember.

    Some really cool ideas here. I really hope for a school and/or university pack.

    It would also be nice to play as a teacher instead, for example in an education career. That way we would be able to control what is happening in the classroom, as opposed to being able to only control one student. But when you're playing as a teacher, it would be nice to see the children that live in the neighbourbhood actually attending school, instead of random townies. Maybe we could even be able to create our own classes, similar to the Get Together club system.

    Playing as a teacher could create challenges like students with low grades that need tutoring, disruptive students that need discipline or students skipping class and whose parents will have to be contacted, angry parents that try to blame the teacher for their children's bad grades, etc.

    Education Pack would be cool
    I don't really care about Elementary School

    But I don care about High school and College.
    I Would Love a world For a campus.
    I'd have the main building, the Gymnasium, a Soccer Field because Soccer would be the most anticipated Sport in my game
    School colors: Gold, Silver, and Black.
    Mascot: {Narrowing it down Bear, Wolf, Horse, Lion, Rose, King, Knight, Pirates}
    I have most of the Student Body ready to attend
    I have the Headmaster, Coach teachers for each subject.
    Realm of Magic:

    My Mood:

    Let's be honest, it'll probably be a llama mascot. ;)

    I like the idea of a school interaction where we could decide to go with or just send them off to school. And having them build skills in school would be great!

    I think a full education system would be an amazing EP perhaps after sessions so we can have Highschool graduation and prom and proper holidays/ move in days. You could go even further and have teens go on University open days perhaps unicould have different mood buffs like Coffee shops do and so a uni may not appeal to a particular sim.

    Or how about if a sim does badly in school they get rejected by university’s and have to go to community college and then reapply the possibility’s really are endless for this kind of pack.

    Yes this would be an excellent game pack. These functions were essentially available on the sims 3 university life, but we also want to be able to do more with teens and child sims. I have been using zerbu's get to school mod to simulate this, but it would be nice if EA came out with a game pack. This is something that simmers have wanted for a long time. I've even seen posts about sims being able to join sports teams and clubs in school and that would be nice if you could go to a basketball game for you sim child's school

    Im all for it and I even had my own post requesting this. I do not like the fact that school is meaningless and empty . I want to be more involved and also have graduation ceremonies.

    If a sim makes a bad grade they dont get to move on. It would make the child/teen life stage a lot more meaningful! Going to school with them + affect on future opportunities + more gameplay for kids/teens and I would love family play o:)<3

    Yes, this would be excellent... I used Zerbu's pack some time ago, but it's not as it would be if it was original. I always loved playing in school :D

    Seems like a very good idea considering that in real life, we spend more hours in school than in our own houses.
