Yeah i have about 650 Sims and about 60 of those are teens, then you must include the NPCs, etc..

They only really talked much about the Socially Awkward one, but I had super slowmoded the stream before to catch the other two- thanks for doing this long feature list, it’s really helpful for folks.

Yeah, I heard about the other two traits later once the GC videos started rolling out, but the Gurus only mentioned one of them while quickly going through CAS at the start. They may have showed the other two on the screen very briefly however, so may have just missed them initially!

There’s actually more traits than just socially awkward- I can’t remember the names but one was like, party animal and the other was goal oriented. The party animal is basically what it says on the tin (kind of surprised we didn’t have a trait like this already, but I can say that about a lot of Sims 4’s traits), and the goal oriented one is apparently very improvement oriented and has a difficult time socializing because of it (I feel like this sort of overlaps with ‘ambitious’ but I guess they made it have more effects than ambitious does).

Not confusing these with the new teen aspirations, for the record!

All I want is for this to be at least as good as Zerbu’s High School Mod

– Based on only Plumbella’s review, graduation is supposed to happen sometime after a sim ages up and should be marked on the calendar (but it might be bugged out atm?)
– During the stream, prom was indeed every Saturday, but I don’t remember what life length setting they were playing with, so this may be far less often based on the setting, will double check in a second
– body hair growth cam be set on/off in CAS per sim, it’s not clear if the different parts could be set separately or not however, but you can shave them separately
– the sneak out ladders and windows aren’t only for that purpose; the ladder can simply be concealed outdoors but basically functions as any other ladder (looks normal indoors too), and the new window is basically a door, so they really just for storytelling
– I guess there are no fashion set previews to reduce loading screens plus the randomised factor for non-player created sets
– also, I guess the Social Bunny posts and DMs are predetermined so that sims would always react appropriately to them

My concerns:
-I play long term, like teens live for four sim years (28 days/month) so I wonder how will that affect graduation?

-Is disabling body hairs a general setting or sim-specific? bec I’m asian.. or my sim is.. so there’s that.

-Can we set a specific date for prom or is it every sat like every festival in the game? bec that would be a huge bummer.

-I have a strange feeling with sneaking ladders and windows. like would the family purposefully place them so their teens can sneak out and then scold them when they actually do it? hahaha

-Unable to write own messages on the “socbun” is another bummer. I hope modders find a way for this. And maybe extend the list of messages available to use by the game (yea I do think in advance lol)

-Why can’t we have a preview of the clothes on the trendi app? Is this bec they are randomized stuff?

-If teens who attend dont wear school uniform, what about the ones living in komorebi? tbh, I dont mind not having school uniforms as mandatory, but having an option to require one would be amazing as well.

-The ferris wheel is also a bummer. I would love to take pics of my sims inside with scenic background from atop.

-Ability to make education career active is a missed one. I hope modders can find a way for this.

Nevertheless, the EP is great with the rest!

At least they did half the job for it, they made lots of swatches for different uniform pieces. It is kind of weird they didn’t reuse the function from DO restaurants, though, even if just for the students.

Every teen will attend the school from the whole save, Cassandra Goth was one of the sims they asked to prom for example.
