The Sims 4 High School Years: Student Guide to Copperdale High 

me2

same!

It’s coming out the summer before my senior year

Literally same

same

You can't actually participate in the classes though, you just sit and stare at them. BORING!

@@RedRoseSeptember22 i hope modders can fix that it is literally the only thing i wish was different. *well the pack isn't even out yet but you know what i mean* i am really excited for this though

if you watch simmers that already have early access to the pack you’ll see that this video is the opposite of what we get 😬

​@@RedRoseSeptember22 i dont know why everyone wants to choose one little thing they dont like so they choose something as dumb as not doing anything in classes and complaining how you dont have the option to "sleep" in class when you literally have the option to PRANK another student. what else could you ask for? no one wants to sit in class anyways, after school activities are way more fun and interesting thats why they give you so much free time.

@@soobineffingchoi okay, but the after school activities are just a rabbit hole… you don’t get to actually attend cheer or anything else… so how are they more fun?

More like how cringey they are?

I love those voice actors, they totally got there sim!

@@RedRoseSeptember22 the voice actores killed it. The script was cringe!

@@RedRoseSeptember22 yep sounds like typical teen-agers to me everyone's teen years are filled with cringe

@@RedRoseSeptember22 dont know what you expected, theyre literally teens.

Hope there are not too many bugs like in wedding stories But I am already so thrilled to buy it

@@binhalthier5151 honestly hope so too, I don’t even know if they had fixes the bugs from that pack

I wish they would rework the teens somehow tho... It looks more like those trashy highschool tv-shows where a 40 year old actor is a teenager 😬

If you’re interested, bunch of simmers have already uploaded the gameplay!! (Vixella has a more detailed, but Lilsimsie uploaded the gameplay mostly and gave some negatives and positives of the pack) idk if you’ve watched it, but I definitely Recommend doing it

@@hourtohournotetonote thank you

Shout out to the sims writers who legitimately got the context of “no cap” in Sydney’s video correct

It's not just the next generation. As a millennial I constantly find myself cringing at the way zoomers talk. 😅

is it “teen slang” or aave 🙄

I'm also class of 2020! It's nice to see others who get that specific experience in the comments

Same, our school delayed our prom from mid february to mid march and then the rise of covid canceled it for real

Awe, this makes me sad 😭🫶🏽. It’s things like this that make you more excited for them thinking of the players when creating. My sister was class of 2020 as well.

omg class of 2020 yessss i can finally recreate my red 1920s themed prom moment (such a good theme was wasted. my bf at the time and i were gonna be nick and jordan from the great gatsby)

Class of 2024 (basically no freshman or sophomore year)

According to early access footage nothing really happens during lunch other than sitting and eating but fights can autonomously happen after school

@@reading1713 thats also realistic. There was a rumor at my high school where if there were three fights in a day, we got to go home early. So people were starting fights for the stupidest reasons so we could go home early for Christmas.

its not all that, wish there was more gameplay

@@makayla579 have you even played it yet? just wait to play the game yourself to make your own opinions lol

@@MrsRollercoastergirl exactly 😭😭 I already preordered the pack and people are already making negative comments about the pack like did i just spend 40 for nothing or are they hating already?!?!😭💀

@@timya8440 based on gameplay I’ve seen it looks pretty boring, the school is empty, there isn’t many things to do within the school, I’m buying it purely for the cas as a console I can’t get cc

@@okthen2447 right, you can’t even make your own npcs

hi lol

Kevin is so cute

Yes, five students max. But I think this is due to the fact that the worlds are underpopulated since only the pack and basegame is installed, so I wouldn‘t worry much about it.

Yeah what Sophie said is true, the highschool will be able to have 20 sims just like every other lot. And the BG only has like 4-5 teens so it’ll look different when people actually play it.

@@sophie9984 but most players don’t have every single pack installed, if a player has only bg, the school is going to be empty

@@user-ti8rz5yw9m no because you literally make more teens lmaoo

@@jad3maryann what if they don’t want to make more teens?

Ikr imagine making a teen pack and the teens look like adults?????? That's step 1 already failed

I agree but aren’t all of them portrayed as seniors? Considering prom and all? Maybe they could’ve had a freshman/sophomore vibe and then a junior senior vibe for this pack.

@@gitmon3y91 My school you have prom yearly- not just in senior year.

@@lilliethshadows wow that’s interesting prom is typically for seniors only, and sometimes juniors have a prom. The only dance/formal where all grades attend is homecoming.

@@gitmon3y91 that is so interesting! To me what my school does is normal so to see it’s often done different is very interesting.

U need more likes

It's black box theater.

Can't relate.

I think you can

Clicked sent too fast lol, I saw a review for the uncoming update and apparently the youtuber was taking the sim out of the class room to check the new phone, and said "Careful that the principal doesnt find us", im pretty sure you can, but I havent seen the game play reviews, im so excited for this pack that I want to see all by myself

You won't be able to, you can only watch them in class and that's super boring AF.

@@RedRoseSeptember22 the pack isn’t out yet and “all things are subject to change “

They should add periods for the girl and teen pregnancy, learning how to drive, more classes, mall, etc

That’s why I’m sceptical, potential is different from reality and EA’s track record….

@@liamw6562 Unfortunately it does fall short. After school activities are rabbitholes and you can't interact at all in class - you get those chance card popups but they don't even actually happen to your sim.

@@FrogglesMcBoggles Where did you find out this information?

@@FrogglesMcBoggles Nvm just skipped through a review smh what a bummer! and the fact that they false advertised with football and cheerleading after school activities only for you not to be able to participate... Don't know how I feel about this

You can purchase a cheerleading mat and a rugby ball in build mode I can see why it’s a rabbit hole because it would be a lot more work to add in

Hi kate

Same here Kate and cant wait to see what you build.

I know your builds will be out of this world! 😍

Hello! I can't wait to see what you build with this expansion pack.

FRR

Literally how does it seem shallow?

Same for me

Aww. I hope all the pandemic graduates have so much fun with this pack. Y’all really did get cheated.

Just build a park right next to the lot. And go to the park. If it bothers you that bad.

@@neville2308 - I'm thinking You don't comprehend the problems with that! NO sims, Not even your own go to the Carnival of their Own! Even Randos sims who work at the booths come to lot not knowing what do, and if the lot is a house they walk in like they belong there so if you like that than EA probably will Never address this problem.

@@cinnisims8448 In Tartosa, the flower cart vendor, the bakery vendor and food stall vendors all show up to work at their scheduled times even though they're part of the town square and not on an official lot, so I don't see why it would be any different for Copperdale. Same with Moonwood Mill. The werewolf packs show up at their pack hangouts and you can go there and interact with them without having to deal with a loading screen. It's one of these world's best features, in my opinion. I'm glad EA has been doing this in there most recent worlds and I hope it continues. People have been complaining about not having open worlds for years and now they are finally (sort of) giving it to us. I can't imagine why anyone would want to go back to closed lots. I also have never had anyone walk into my home uninvited in either Tartosa or Moonwood Mill. I have also seen sims go to these public areas on their own. If sims are not showing up to the Carnival, then that is a big issue and I hope they fix it before the pack is released to the public - but I wouldn't want it to be tied to a lot. That would be going backwards. They made it work in Tartosa and Moonwood Mill, so they should be able to make it work in Copperdale too. The Carnival is the thing I'm looking forward to the most out of this pack.

@@GK-ob1ni - I'm not trying to argue this issue. I get some players don't expect better when it comes to routing issues, and I had only suggested what I thought could help. This comes from my observation after watching couple of videos of EA creators who had early access. - I personally don't like Randos showing up and walking into houses uninvited, and it's been happening way more since Cottage Living but feel it started with Island Living and what's bad about this, you can't tell them to leave a lot of times unless you zone out. -As for Carnival, from what I've seen of these videos, is sims don't interact with anything there except maybe the baba tea booth and seats. -If not at a park I'm going to assume as I've not seen videos how invited sims interact if at all, but if on a residential lot, invited sims will not go to it or stay there, but probably at your house doing things they shouldn't be doing like...cooking, sleeping, taking baths and using your pc when in real life people don't do that stuff when they go to people houses, maybe family.

Ikr so sad 😐

🤣🤣

no, just disappointment. the school is available, but the classes aren't interactive, and rabbit holes are practically the main thing. do not buy.

Really? That sucks.

oh wow.. and i was so excited for this pack too i knew it was too good to be true 🤣

eh whatever, there’s still a lot of fun interactions and other gameplay. I’m still excited!

I know right?? And the trailers have been selling a different story 😭

Sounds fine to me. I'll be using the time in school to befriend other teens and increase skills anyway

Lol

You could make your own summer holiday in the calendar

Was just going to say, make your own spring break with the calendar and have all your teens off school!

@@berbervdwoude4965 yes exactly why they didn’t do it since you basically already can yourself

There’s a saved file that redid all worlds she’s pretty good and has a lot of events in the game your sim has off a lot during summer for summer break vacation etc check it out

@@divalove88 it still wouldve been nice to have it in the game though since i may be wrong but i imagine it could affect your sims performance also other sims arent off so idk it just feels wrong but im still fine with it since i didnt think of having the summer holidays until i seen the comment u replied to

hmmm, you should send an email to EA since they change stuff like that at the peoples recommendations. with the goth refresh and neighborhood stories i think they’re taking lore more seriously but this is def an oversight i’m sure that can be fixed if we bring enough attention to it

@@angel1202003 Great idea. I sent an email via their contact form.

But your sim goes to sit down in the class and that's it. The staff even fast forwarded the classes as there's no gameplay. So not much better then a rabbit hole. Yet past school mods you could at least interact with the teacher and other students during class, but you can with this game.

@@aurora6920 right! Ive been playing also the patch before the release really screwed my game up. And the prom is really glitchy for me. My sims keeps changing out of her formal wear into her regular clothes.

RIGHT LIKE thats an actual accurate depiction of what I thought Molly and Sidney would sound like.

Is it zendaya ???

@@jayleenkai doubt it, sounds a lot more like chloe grace moretz

@@jayleenkai molly sounds a bit like zendaya yeah

I think Molly and Ash sound like Shelby Young. She might have voiced both of them

@@jayleenkai I don’t think EA hired Zendaya to voice a sim in a 3 minute trailer that’s only for RU-vid. That would be super expensive for no reason.

So true

I'm getting it only for the objects because we all know the gameplay will be bugged, they will release multiple fixes that dont fix sht, modders will come through and save the game. The Sims without mods is a very boring and broken game. Plus, they are just falling into propaganda now, buying into "trends" and mental illness, like pronouns and stuff like that. So, dont deny yourself of curved walls, just get it (if you want) for the stuff which is kinda cool and cute. Modders will come to the rescue.

"No cap" "Now it's your turn besties!" "It's giving prom ready" "Sooo cute y'all"

*clears throat* i meant of this video . 🎤

That’s what I thought!!

I'm waiting until the pack comes out lol. I want them to have the full high school experience from the moment they age up.

@@dracos0024 same

@@dracos0024 same cause I have this save with two twins and I wanna give one of them socially awkward

Doing the same for all mine too, and with all my families I’m gonna have all their drama conjoin together lol
