    Hello Legion Gamers!

    As most of you probably know by now, this September in Legion Community is the month of education and learning. We are already talking about favorite fictional schools and favorite subjects, and what we learned by playing video games (not many comments there yet, it seems. Do games really teach nothing?)

    And, of course, all these topics make us (or me) reminisce about school. It would be nice to take a vacation and travel back through time and get a week-full of those school experiences that you learn to appreciate once you're older. But for most of us, the "School" ship has sailed already, and for some of us, the University is behind, as well.

    But all is not lost! For those of us who want to go back to school sometimes, Sims 4 has us covered! The famous "life simulator" series was always adding expansions, and the university was in parts 2 and 3, but in the latest part 4, they also added high school:


    Though it offers a more "Americanised" version of a high school, but that, too, can be a good thing. I, for one, never got to experience that particular school culture, so playing this game is a bizarre mix of novelty and nostalgia.

    And notice the inclusivity of the trailer! So inspiring to see games being inclusive like that. Stream, too, is promoting inclusivity in games and developers, and there are still a few days left to check out their current Gayming LIVE Indie Festival!

    And, as in real life, uni is what comes after school, in Sims, too:


    Invading robots and secret societies is not how I remember my university years, but it's fun!

    So when I'm feeling like my adulthood needs a break, I play Sims 4 and travel back to simpler, school times. Who else? If you, too, sometimes want to relive school and student years from the comfort of adulthood (or maybe even play out your school life how you'd want it to be), here is a chance!

    Has anyone tried those Sims 4 expansions yet?
    Does going back to school in a game sound tempting to you, or are you glad to be done with it?

    @M2lobaz I am not a heavy sims player, i like games to have more plot, but it is fun for playing out scenarios like this.
