I enjoyed getting to have my Sim interact with other teens, both on a friendship level and for those pesky teenage crushes throughout the time I played. The new world and social interactions from High School Years liven up the game for teenage Sims. When she developed crushes on multiple Sims, she also had the option to try and get over crushes. More on the teen crush side of things, once my Sim did make it to high school there were a few interactions with other Sims that she had flirty vibes with that included revealing her crush to them and even asking them to prom. Those flirty interactions later translated into my Sim being able to “confess daydreams about crush” to her mom once she’d returned home - an adorable new interaction.
My Sim met a few other teens while she was out exploring, including a few who she had some flirty interactions with. The thrift shop has a rotating inventory of clothing to choose from, some even designed by Depop sellers themselves who worked in collaboration with the Sims 4 team.Īlongside the new locations in Copperdale are all new social interactions as well that feel very fitting for a teen-centered expansion pack to include. One new location I love is ThrifTea, the boba and thrift shop where Sims can style new outfits to sell on Trendi (i.e., the Depop of the The Sims 4). The Sim-fluencer side hustle paired with one of the new Teen Aspirations, Admired Icon, immediately had me leaving the house to go out and meet people in town. The working hours for both are available early in the morning or later on at night - perfectly mimicking when IRL teens might actually be able to stream or pursue side gigs while attending school. Teens and up can take on two new side hustles: Sim-fluencer and Video Game Streamer.
Starting my new Sim family off on Sunday in Copperdale, I immediately wanted to check out one of the new side hustles for my teen.

To really test out all of these new elements in the pack, I took the opportunity to put my Sim through the full high school experience - drama, selfies, existential crisis, and prom included.ĭisclaimer: Images captured for this article are not final game footage and subject to change. High School Years gives players a new world, Copperdale, that is home to a fully functioning high school, new pre-designed families, and new areas that were ripe for exploration such as the dockside amusement park and the combination boba tea and thrift store.
