I really want to bring back university for sims or any active schooling without the need for me to use custom content or to "cheat the system" . I would love boarding schools to maybe also be an option that you can actually attend with you child like the families in older sims where asks you which person you wanna play and loads accordingly. just a thought maybe a SIM GURU will spot this and take our ideas on it so drop some ideas you'd love to see for schooling below
Here's what I got so far:
active schools
boarding schools for kids
dorms
college classes and materials/decor to match
maybe a new lifestage? pre-teen and allow them and teenagers to attend active boarding schools

I love that idea!
I'd love for them to bring us the typical University pack game play, but maybe also give us community colleges, so your young sims can stay at home but also get a 'higher education'. Older sims could take night classes at their community college to maybe get level boosts in their jobs.
I'd love for the pack to be more of an 'Education' pack, so that they can do the boarding school idea you have suggested, but also bring back private schools and the whole idea of inviting round the headteacher to schmooze him! That was all so great!
The thing I would LOVE to see is active high school, I'd love to go to high school with my teens for the first time. I think that would give more depth to the teen life stage. School is a huge part of the lives of child to young adult and it would be pretty impressive if they finally opened that up.
Other than that I'd love for them to finally allow us to have an active career as professors. All ages of sims with active school and the teaching/professors active career would be all a University/School ep would need to make it pretty amazing.
Edit: I'd also like to add that I really hope they would put something into the calendar for school holidays. In my calendar I have like a couple weeks for summer break for my kids/teens. A week for Christmas break. A week for Spring break and a few days break for Thanksgiving. It would be nice if I could actually designate those as school holidays somehow. Just maybe put an option for the holiday and let me pick how many days it lasts rather than making one each day. I do play on the longest seasons though and I age sims up myself so maybe that wouldn't work out for those who don't. It would be a nice option though.
Usually I play one or two sims but now I am expanding my horizons and started playing with families. Part time jobs, odd-jobs and school lets me concentrate on different sims at different times since I want all of my sims to have friends and hobbies.
I would like to be able to send the toddler away for a bit during the day if my writer sim is writing a book or gathering plants. I also would like to see homeschooling in the game.
Just being able to influence which sims are are at home would go a long way in making families more enjoyable for me.
