What is the new world in Sims 4 High School Years?

As with other expansion packs, High School Years comes with an entirely new world to explore. This time around its a world called Copperdale, including Copperdale High.

The accompanying blog post welcomes new players to a community with a “booming mining industry,” which is “nestled on the banks of Lake LaSuli” and will allow players to “live out your teenage dreams.”

The new world was created by Sims 4 community members. This includes MsGryphi, xfreezerbunnyx, and JOL1990.

What can you do in Sims 4 High School Years?

This expansion will allow simulation fans to explore their teen years, whether it’s participating in extracurricular activities or forming new friendships with fellow high school teens. You’ll be able to attend classes, eat lunch in the cafeteria, take exams, play sports, go to school-related events, and decorate your bedroom with high school-inspired decor.

You will be able to explore your identity more than ever before, including growing and grooming body hair. There are new actions to use, like sitting cross-legged on your bed. You can even pull pranks on your high school friends.

Other exciting new activities include designing and attending prom, proposing to dates with signs, as well as becoming a “Simfluencer” that can sell outfits and designs.

When your Sim graduates from high school, all of the decisions they made over their four years of high school will impact their personality and interests moving forward.
