Replacing The Sims 4 High School So It Actually Looks Nice

Simmers: “I hate the sims 4 ” Also simmers: plays the sims 4 everyday and preorder every pack

I rebuilt the high school to be a modern eco school with so many enriching activities and there’s nobody f*cking there

I've built myself a japanese highschool a couple if months ago just for fun, and was super excited when this pack was announced and that I can actually try it with gameplay. To my surprise, it works completely (when updated with the necessary items). I love playing in it, the original building looked so depressing.

I cannot believe JUST how much nicer those fan-made Copperdale High Schools were. It looked attractive and welcoming, and like you say 'cosy and colourful'. It felt more like a real place that's been used and loved, rather than big, empty spaces with some chairs and tables plopped in, in front of a white board or a cafeteria section nearby.

3:23 I think those are suppose to be the gym locker rooms. You put your stuff there when your changing out for gym.

I am using the high school built by James Turner YT. The rooms are close together so it does not take the Sims forever to get from place to place. Highly recommend. 👍 💓

I think James Turner's high school was only base game and high school years. I like how he really thought about routing issues and eliminating things that make your sim take longer to get to class while still making it look very "school-like."

in my school in Germany we had two speacial classrooms with platforms, so this was very special for us every time we had classes in this rooms, it was very fun in the back rows

ah yes, sims gallery builds with 500 packs😍

The small black mark districted me for so long I’ve had to watch this twice to hear what was actually said 💀

I wonder if the whole purpose of making it bland was to encourage people to customize their school. It doesn’t seem obvious enough, however, when we view the trailer, what we’re seeing in one shot is the same exact hallway looking completely different every few frames. These of course are just the surface details like walls, flooring, and stairs, but perhaps that was the point. I’m not excusing HSY for how bad it actually is overall, but on this one thing it seems like the idea was to change the school as you see fit so they kept it more bare bones as a starting point.

There are some British ones! I created one under JemmaTheSimmer which is based on my school, called Robert Piggott School as that's my old school name (but I did add in the American footballs and cheer for some stuff to do, but the rest is pretty accurate). It's based on a more rural school so multiple buildings and not second storey bits, open areas like the playground and grass quad. It uses some packs but not a load. Also I'll now have to go make a base game and high school only one now as there are so few! Pity the gallery filters are awful for finding schools.

Weird, they didn't seem to care much about performance when they released Journey to Batuu. Try running around in Batuu on a lower-end laptop or PC. That is why I'll never buy that excuse again. They're literally just lazy. BTW, they had a decorated version of the school during the live stream. So they will decorate it for a live stream, but not for the actual release. Incredible.

That's a good idea to have an option for people with lower end PCs and I'm so glad you added one from simlicy too, I LOVE her channel!

There is this mod for unlimited students in HS by Aramiteus, perfect opportunity to create a HS chaos experience.

It's a locker room, it's where you change before gym or a basketball game.

Satch: This school is for you if your computer sounds like it is going to explode. Me: Um, if you don’t like me that’s fine. But, you know...watch your mouth.

Locker in the bathroom... might be for gym. Though the bathroom would usually be separated from the changing area where you can find the lockers, I can totally visualise having the changing room combined with the bathroom.

LMAO 6:21 "So this is the one I'd say you should have if you have a really crappy laptop that sounds like it's about to explode and take off like a rocketship every single time you turn it on"

I just realised. We might not like rabbit holes for stuff, but if we could get cutscenes for things like graduation, so they didn’t need to worry about filling a room with sims and stuff, just programming your sim to walk up to another sim and take a certificate and there’s chances of it going funny or bad or normal or great, that would be so cool. I keep saying I want cutscenes like the sims 2 ones back, because it made it feel like I was really telling a story, and this just came to mind and the idea is just so fun
