Hello, so I’m currently playing a sims story that is a combination between some aspects of my favorite shows.
My main sim, Katie, is a teen who lost her parents and lives with her older sister Claire. Their family friends, The Bennetts, invite them every summer to their beach house. (Inspired by The Summer I turned Pretty). Katie is best friends with the Bennett twins, Evie & Caleb (her future love interest).
The main plot point is that Katie gets rejected from her dream school that could change the trajectory of her life. After enduring difficult school years where she declined hangouts and parties, she decides to do everything alongside her bff Evie. Along the way, breaking the hurt of Caleb who she almost kissed but pretended she forgot.

Now, I have a few packs but not many where they are drastically targeting teen life. I have Seasons and Cottage Living.
So, with that being said, I really want mods that can up the drama and make this play through equally enjoyable and dramatic. Preferably ones that would allow me to have complicated relationships, teen specific situations, etc.
Let me know, Thanks in advance!

Hi, I (19F) have always felt like I had to be perfect in school and life, doing all the extracurriculars etc..
Now, I’m 19, and my friends are at colleges across the state. I’ve become extremely reserved even though I naturally lean extroverted. I love my friends truly. However, they’re introverted and we don’t usually do anything but eat and talk during hangouts. I want to change that. I want to start going out more, partying, and being more social but I don’t really know how to with 1. Living in a semi small town & 2. My lack of college friends.
How do you actually start being more social in a small town?
I’m always so serious about life and I think I need to let loose for this summer. I want to be a more social, spontaneous person and go out with more people my age.
Any advice is appreciated thank you!

Hello! I, F19, am currently a university student. Over two years ago, I began to go through a difficult period in my life. I started to just go through the motions of everything like a ghost. I have spent my first year of college being isolated and feeling like my life was passing me by. I know, it sounds pretty dramatic. I was rewatching “The Summer I turned pretty” and a quote Steven used stuck out to me. This quote was from his graduation speech, “The world feels like it’s happening to you but you are happening to the world.” I have always tried to have a good head on my shoulders, be goal oriented, and essentially be an avoidant people pleaser who tried to take everything on herself. I have never been selfish.
While I love my friends, they left town for college while I stayed in time reminiscing who I was before all this.
The past couple of years I’ve felt disconnected from everything and everyone. Now, it’s time I start living for me because even though I’m not where I want to be at all academically or emotionally or whatever. I have to take control.
So, that’s where I’m helping you guys come in… I decided to make a bucket list of a bunch of things I want to do this summer. I turn 20 next April and even before this thing two years, I never truly chose me or “rebelled”. I never let myself be a teenager. I want to change that. I know a bucket list seems like I’m a wannabe main character and maybe I am! What I do know is that, if I try, I’ll get that power back. So, I want to be a little stupid haha, maybe go to a party? Have a summer fling? Meet new people my age and surround myself with opportunities to learn new parts of myself. I live in a semi-small town, so dear friends, please write below ways to meet more people my age. Give me some ideas to put on this bucket list of mine, provide some advice on how to start “living”, tell me your craziest stories about your life and maybe I can take some inspiration.
If this goes well like I hope, I’ll be forever grateful.
Thank you in advance!
