High School Pack

Ok. So I do want university but this thread is about high school specifically as we've had university in the past.
For a high school pack I would like to see;
-introduction day. Sims get to introduce themselves to other sims
-wild teen parties
-after achool clubs such as chess, cheerleading, football.
-switching classes. It can be rabbit holes for all I care lol just as long as we get one lecture class like in sims 3.
-grades in all classes. Including gym.
-gym will not be a rabbit hole please.
-study hall. A library where sims can brush up on all their courses and even do their homework if they so choose.
-an opportunity for players to make their own after school clubs
-a big final exam -and a week to two weeks summer vacation depending on your choice of seasons lengths.
-socials ranks (geek, jock, popular, loner, newbie, teachers pet)
What else can you think of please?
Oh and prom please. Prom king and queen!

Everyone is screaming university but adult sims have so many options already and so many careers we can follow them in. I would love a teen focused pack.
Everything you named sounds super fun!!
On the first day of secondary school, we just started on the work.
On the first day of Senior school, there was orientation day, just to be sure everyone knew where their classrooms were, and where the library was. Nothing about introducing ourselves to anyone.
Pointless without cops.
This is what teenage wild parties do:
Oh dear!
Are they really what you do after school?
The local school here has: Cricket, Soccer, Footy (Aussie rules football), Rugby, Netball, and Volleyball. Child protection, STEM with Uni, and YOP. None of which is specifically after school hours. The sports are a part of PE, and the others are squeezed in around other classes. When school ends, people go home.
I've never known a school to have a gym per se. Some have a building called a gym, but it's really an indoor sports-hall, for netball, basket ball, tennis, and laying on the floor wishing you were at home. And school assemblies.
Never had that... We had free classes, where we could study, or waste time. I usually read scifi or fantasy novels, I was reading them at a rate of one every day or two, and they weren't small books.
That sounds like it's on it's way to a good idea.
Ugh. Exams. Hated those.
And a two week break is what Aussie kids get at the end of each term, with a 2 month break at the end of the year, for christmas/summer.
Are these even real things? My school had the families, and not the families.
Oh please no! Don't force that on everyone!
A school dance, that we can pick and choose the details of would be much better.
I would like a high school, and especially a high school teacher profession, but I'd be even more interested in an elementary school
Also if you have the get-together pack you already can create your own after-school clubs with your own themes. Whether that be chess or homework or whatever
I think I'd add apply for scholarships, work experience, graduation, school cafeteria with new foods, detention, electives that raise diff skills with a few new ones.
Build the campus
Name the school
Choose the mascot, and school colors
Choose Teachers, and administration
Choose the school sport: What does the community unite over? Football? Soccer? Basketball? Baseball? Swim? etc.
And then Classes...
I would say like Active Careers: Detectives, Doctor, and Scientists.
Where you choose classes, and then throughout the say you get to decide how your student fulfills the goals designed for their "class schedule"
Like if you chose a Science You research/Do an experiment Building Logic Skill, English or any Language you practice your Writing and Reading Skill. History, Gym, Art/Painting Sketching/Photography and so on.
I want all of this since Most of my story does revolve around teens, and the setting is their school.
I have built their school, as a Library and a Soccer Court, I would love to play it out.
I'd Imagine Get Together to form clubs and after School Activities,
I would do:
Student Council
Drama Club
Art Club
Gamers' Club
Soccer Team
Wrestling Team
Swim Team
My Mood:
I assume you don't live in the USA!
I don't like the cheerleading idea in the Me too era, unless we get everybody doing it and those ranks of Jock, nerd, popular, loner etc are really not on when there is so much bullying in schools. Libraries and gyms, ok (I got a letter from my mum not to do it which lasted 4 years)!
No Proms, Please.............! Rich privilege and puts poor in debt trying to keep up. (Could make a good storyline though)!
Please no! Anything but High School Musical! lol it just brings back bad memories of my friend singing the songs out of tune.
I wouldn't want any of this as a pack, I think it should be a free update, as some of these things should of come in the base game or if they did a generations type pack again then it should go with that. I do like the idea of picking theme and colours for a school dance/prom, now that would be fun!
Wild teen parties are a little pointless, as someone said, unless cops/police were put back into the game then that would make it more fun.
End of year exams and grades could be a nice little twist on things but I would love to have after school clubs and school trips!
I still want my University EP but I would maybe think about buying this as a GP.
Honestly I dont care how EA does it. I just want the content!
I know I can fall back on modders but still.
