EA has announced that The Sims 4 is getting a high-school themed expansion pack so players can relive the best - or worst - years of their lives. 

The 'High School Years' expansion pack adds a ton of new features to The Sims 4 so that players can give their Sims the real high school experience. Sims will be able to attend classes, hang out in the cafeteria, go to prom, decorate lockers, and graduate, to name just a few activities.

The fun doesn’t stop when the bell rings though, as Sims will also be able to take part in a number of extracurricular activities and go through all the painful parts of puberty - just in case going through them yourself once wasn’t enough.

The Sims 4 High School Years expansion launches on July 28, 2022 and is available to pre-order now. Those who order before September 8 are also entitled to a few pre-order bonuses including the 'Vibing Streamer Gear digital content' which lets your Sims live their best influencer lives. The content pack comes with the 'Groove Tube wireless speaker', 'Spine Reticulating Gamer chair', and 'Tri Hard LED panels.' 

As expected, The Sims 4 fans are chomping at the bit to enroll their Sims into school with many players praising the little details of the expansion from body hair, Boba tea, social media, and more. Others are excited to try out some of the other activities offered at school including cheerleading, football games, Promposals, and more. We have been well and truly spoiled by EA this time around.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training.  My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
