Summary

  • Sims 4 players question why their Sims’ schools are filled with strangers instead of friends or family.
  • The recently released High School Years expansion allows players to explore Sims’ school lives.
  • Players find it frustrating that their Sims cannot form lasting friendships at school without resorting to mods.

In the realm of “The Sims 4”, a curious query about the school system structure within the game’s cosmos has been raised by a player. This question pertains to a peculiarity observed in the game, where students do not attend the same schools as their friends or family members. Many enthusiasts of the game are left pondering the reason behind this phenomenon.

Initially, when The Sims 4 debuted in 2014, its digital characters could only be observed within their homes or during visits to each other’s residences or public areas such as parks and libraries. However, certain expansions for the life simulation game have given players a more in-depth perspective into their Sims’ lives beyond home activities or local adventures. In the summer of 2022, the High School Years expansion for The Sims 4 was unveiled and launched, providing players with an unprecedented opportunity to enter their teenage Sims’ schools, where they participate in daily lessons and create lasting memories with teachers and peers.

Over two years since its debut, gamers have pointed out some overlooked aspects in “The Sims 4” when it comes to the high school experience. For instance, Reddit user somebodyelse1107, among others, has voiced concerns about why their teenage Sims’ schools are consistently filled with randomly generated townies, despite having numerous other teenagers living nearby and even within the same household who could potentially attend school.

Sims 4 Players are Still Frustrated Over High School Issues

In the gaming community of The Sims 4, there is a considerable amount of discontent regarding the challenge of making friends at school. This applies not only to players who anticipate their Sims interacting with unknown classmates but also to those who understand that their characters are attending a school filled with strangers. The issue lies in the fact that Sims who develop relationships with player-controlled teenage Sims often vanish from the school roster, thus hindering teens from forging lasting close friendships or romantic ties.

To address this issue, various users recommend installing educational modifications (mods) for the game The Sims 4. These mods offer features like selecting which students will attend the same school as the player’s chosen teenage Sim, enhancing the college application process, adding field trips and after-school activities, and extending the high school experience to younger elementary school children. However, some players express frustration that they still need to use these mods for a fulfilling school experience, with one user commenting that the developers “should have anticipated that people would want their playable Sims interacting at school, not just one controlled Sim and a group of unknown characters.
