Some of these can be included in a
Parenthood refresh (in bold) or in other packs, but I think "High School" EP can be the "Generations" of TS4, while other lifestages like adult (mid-adult?) or elders can have another pack focused on their lifes (retirement, casinos, hotels, hobbies)
Comments
puberty maybe?
Dinner with headmaster for private school
I guess or just sleep with them your spouse wouldn't need to know. Lol!!!
@PlayerSinger2010 I'd say absolutely yes to Preteens and that same disagreement can be said about Young Adults (What's so different about a Young Adult and an Adult?) in this game but we still have them so why not introduce the Preteens life stages to the Sims Franchise
I really don't think there will be a generations of ts4 and I would be surprised if there is because generations was really just a collection of random things thrown together for different ages from what I know of it.
I think each lifestate will get it's own dedicated attention. Which I think is a fantastic idea. I know some people want all in one packs like ts3 had but I'm super happy to pay more money if that means more attention to each one. Look at how amazing werewolves,spellcasters and vampires turned out compared to other occults for example.
I think it would be amazing if kids could get a whole pack dedicated to them.
Summer break, field trips, school sports, active after school clubs.
I like a lot of your ideas. I didn't even think about graduation parties, great idea.
Also quinceanera, sweet 16 and bar mitzvah
We already have Parenthood, High School could focused between childrens (or pre-teens, who knows) to teens, so the only life stages left are the adult and elders (maybe mid adults for the future?).
Fixed teens, with acne and first facial hair could be a nice way to difference teens, young adults and adults. Fixed babies could come as a BG update, with strollers of course.
High school is a very important stage in a person life. Events like prom, puberty, first love and discovering your passion could impact for forever in someone's life. Adulthood is boring, but not less intresting for a future DLC.
I think High School EP could cover more than 50% of Generations content, plus all the other features in other EPs ans GPs, with a potential Parenthood refresh.
They could have a general "coming of age" event with customizable activities so ppl could customize it to match their culture or whatever.
I think they are the perfect solution because there are a faction of simmer who feel current teens look too old to represent the age stage and a faction that like playing the more mature end of the age stage. Making them look younger would upset the simmers who like them as they are.
Creating shorter, younger looking pre-teens would satisfy simmers who feels current teens look like missed out on most of the teen stage. Both faction can be happy.
This concept I do like I'm a simmer who can careless about the teens height I like that they are matured older teens I also think highschool would make them feel more like teens I look at Preteens as an actual life stage because it is. Especially being an American and the American school system for middle school that most Preteens go.
