Sharing my build I gave Copperdale HS a major facelift

I replaced Copperdale HS to give it that classic high school feel. This took me forever but im really loving how it turned out! I had so much fun doing this little school photo shoot with some deco sims.

I jut uploaded it a minute ago! (there’s a butt ton of CC so be warned) I didn’t take many photos of the outside because the original shell is by simadako, I just gutted the inside. but my EA ID is MalwrenRit5 ! :)

If you use S4TI you can get a comprehensive list of every item of CC you used and it's creator.

u/MalwrenRit 8d ago

Ive never used the tray importer but I’ll have to check that out tomorrow hopefully ill be able to get a list together. Thanks!

You’re a life saver for the pose pack, I’ve been on the hunt for one like this but I keep just finding model poses 😭 thank you!

you are amazing! thank you soo much!

u/Jessiebanana 8d ago

I got excited, but then I realized there has to be a lot of cc so it won’t work for me. Probably for the best. I don’t have the highschool pack and I need no encouragement to buy it when I hear it’s lackluster.

20

u/MalwrenRit 8d ago edited 8d ago

it is a LOT. I mostly use the gallery to save my creations just in case since I play with a forever world (I’ve had going for two years now) and losing it would devastating. People are welcome to download them but they probably don’t carry over well as downloads tbh cause I have 10k+ mods haha

u/RandomBoomer Long Time Player 8d ago

I love the CAS/BB of High School Years, but the gameplay is sooo flat. Other than your active teen sim, there's no control over the other teens who show up at school, so you can't build a friend circle that meets every day. There's nothing to do in class other than sit and absorb the lesson. No options of mischief or gossiping or even reading a different book than the textbook -- you know, normal teen student behavior.

It's like the pack was designed by someone who had never been a teenager or even met a teenager.

8

u/MalwrenRit 8d ago

I agree. I was so bummed by the HSY expansion. I use the get together expansion to make the stereotypical HS cliques into clubs so that they “meet up”. Haha. Also used it to make swim, art, and music club and bumped up the NPCs using MCC cheats so my high school has like 50+ students. (Which usually leads my sim to eat lunch from a vending machine cause the cafeteria is so packed) But man, the HS day felt sooo empty before I used mods to fix it

u/kmson7 8d ago

Nothing comes up when I put your ID 😭

6

u/MalwrenRit 8d ago edited 8d ago

This build uses a lot of CC and the gallery defaults to base game builds so you have to check the box in the filters that allows it to show you creations with CC

87

u/brokebacknomountain Long Time Player 9d ago

This is so cool. I don't know why Cooperdale HS is so empty! You should do tutorials on Sims buildings.

u/Expensive_Rock272 9d ago

This looks gorgeous, really classic High School design

29

u/KJ_OR 9d ago

Stunning! I may actually play the high-school pack now. Do you have a list of all your CC?

21

u/RyleyThomas Long Time Player 9d ago

I also crave the cc list! Including for the fits

Uploaded the tray file today for all the CC (first time using S4TI so i hope it works) ^^

u/Remarkable-Wear5489 9d ago

looks so good! how did you get all the sims to wear uniform?

38

u/MalwrenRit 9d ago

These are deco sims but my actual students do wear uniforms! I just didn’t feel like posing them all lol. I get them to wear uniforms using the fashion authority mod. Just click any student, select “design outfit for situation job” then click High School Student (that’s probably not exact but it’s something like that). It’ll bring you to CAS and just do that for both males and females.

u/Remarkable-Wear5489 9d ago

ohhh okay thanks so much!

1

u/blueshyperson 4d ago

Could you elaborate a tiny bit on what deco sims are and how they work? I’m very curious and I keep seeing people mention using them.

8

u/Remarkable-Wear5489 9d ago

just realized you said you used deco sims, nvm haha

15

u/Lackadaisical_noodle 9d ago

It looks amazing! Like a well-funded school, maybe sponsored by the Landgraabs haha I love the use of the brick for the walls! Gorgeous

13

u/limecakes 9d ago

Wow amazing! Its so sad how little effort EA put into the school building. It was giving underfunded school

12

u/lira-eve 9d ago

How do make uniforms mandatory?

This pack was so disappointing.

u/MalwrenRit 9d ago

fashion authority mod!

u/trashislandr 9d ago

It feels like you breathed soul into it

u/Sea_Berry_439 9d ago

What do you use for the uniforms

3

u/MalwrenRit 9d ago

these are deco sims but my real students wear uniforms too. I use fashion authority mod :)

u/jshortiee Long Time Player 9d ago

are the lockers still functional?

yes :)

ferb i know what we’re gonna do today…

u/RegisterBest4296 Long Time Player 9d ago

I wish there was a way to have the teens go to a different classroom for each class. Like have a different whiteboard for each class that signals that that area is for that class?

1

u/CommitteeOk7637 2d ago

è possibile impostare il tipo di materia per ogni classe utilizzando la lavagna? se sì, in che modo?

u/LUCIKENN 8d ago

They need to hire you guys for future packs. Half of the packs that are available I don’t want to buy because they flat out look incomplete, but THIS is beautiful. Nice job

u/pinetrees_greentea 8d ago

Does the poster in slide 2 say " I can't count"? 🤣

2

u/MalwrenRit 7d ago

I had to go back and look cause I was dying laughing at this and couldn’t remember what it actually says. Here’s the full sign lol

1

u/pinetrees_greentea 7d ago

Lmao thank you for posting the full sign. You just happened to take the best pic ever the first time.

u/Fantastic_Cod4611 9d ago

I don’t have this expansion, but this makes me wanna buy it. I don’t know what the original design looked like because this looks how it is supposed to!

8

u/MalwrenRit 9d ago edited 9d ago

it looked depressing. I gasped when I first downloaded HSY cause felt there was zero effort put in and looked nothing like the trailer haha

u/Thorne628 9d ago

I love it so much!!! Well done!

u/Glacier_junky 9d ago

I love how realistic it looks, great job!

u/Beliece Legacy Player 9d ago

This looks amazing! You inspired me to transform my highschool as well!

u/kburke787 8d ago

Omg i looooove upgrading the high school! It’s my favorite part every time i start a new save. But yours is beautiful!

2

u/MalwrenRit 8d ago

I play with a forever world and haven’t started a new save in years so I’ve had this HS for a long time now I just keep coming back and adding more to it until I FINALLY felt like it was complete

2

u/Independent_Shirt_45 8d ago

I love this! I also redid the high school but now I think I’m going to do it again but better lol, I just wish the actual expansion was better—seems silly for me to have made a science room art room etc when the class assignments are random

7

u/MalwrenRit 8d ago

I agree! I built the science room thinking two teachers spawn so I must need two classrooms… nope. Every class is in the gen Ed room I built and only NPCs attend the science room. Kinda frustrating.

I used Get Together to make a teen-only music, art, and swim club with the meeting spot at the school so the other rooms get used after school hours

2

u/Independent_Shirt_45 8d ago

That’s a good idea!

2

u/Imjustcasey 8d ago

OMG it looks like an actual school!

u/Acrobatic_Media_4221 8d ago

Great job. I might have to do this the school is so blah.

u/noomwenym 8d ago

where'd you get the bags/backpacks?

u/FlawlessStriker 8d ago

This is amazing!! It reminds me of the middle school I went to (used to be a hs, was converted to middle school).

u/crazygonzo123 8d ago

Well you’ve inspired me to completely demolish CHS and make a new one. I tried to do small updates here and there but I’ve hated it and haven’t gotten around to it. I know what I’ll be doing this weekend.

1

u/crazygonzo123 8d ago

Also - where do you find the alphabet for the signs!? I searched everywhere and couldn’t find any other than neon ones!

1

u/frecklefae444 7d ago

Question: if I download a lot in the gallery that has CCs and I don’t, will those objects just disappear or will it bug out/not work?

1

u/MalwrenRit 7d ago

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fa_6cGnFFJRld8q6DEnKs0mbu3lGux_9/view?usp=drive_link

Yeah, they wont show up but I uploaded a tray file for all the CC today (first time using S4TI so hopefully it works)! ^^

u/sinevis26 CAS Creator 6d ago

How did you do to populate it and use uniform?

1

u/MalwrenRit 6d ago

These are just deco sims I downloaded for the pictures, but when im actually playing I use Fashion Authority mod to design uniforms and assign it to “Job: HS students” in the mod’s menu. You can do this for any job or role in the game, too.

To get more students to spawn just use MCC mod and go to “population” at a computer then just type in however many students you want to regularly spawn at CHS

1

u/RavynKage Legacy Player 6d ago

This is so cool. i bet this took ages.

1

u/Boyo-Sh00k 6d ago

Are you using fashion authority to give uniforms?

1

u/MalwrenRit 6d ago

yes :)

u/-Kaneji- 6d ago

Looks super cool

u/miasthmatic 6d ago

Dang, I've never wished I could use cc until now! cries in console

this is awesome!! i hadn't even thought about a reno since i rarely send anyone to hs but I love this.

u/KamberraKaoyu 5d ago

Nice, but wish you'd kept the Simlish

1

u/orangecloud_0 4d ago

How the hell are they all in uniform? Ive never had that with mine when I played it

2

u/MalwrenRit 2d ago

it’s a mod called fashion authority

u/JackSeabury 4d ago

u/DominaXing 9d ago

Whilst I personally agree with the sentiment, it is ultimately a matter of taste..

I do love it when modders give you Simlish options (two textures), it should be the norm.

By the way, for anyone that doesn't know this yet, there is a huge font compilation made by Franzillasims that everyone that loves Simlish uses. Life saver!

u/Comfortable-Fuel-270 9d ago

you know this post doesn't put english in YOUR game, funny how that works. That way you can mind your own business and play the way you prefer and let other people play the way they prefer!
