The Sims 4: High School Years is an upcoming Sims 4 Expansion Pack that's set to release at the end of July. With it, players will get to experience or re-experience some of the most memorable moments of being a teen. As players send their teen Sims to attend Copperdale High, they'll get to guide them through high school classes, joining cliques and clubs, forming new and lasting bonds, and much much more.
The Sims 4: High School Years puts a much-needed focus on the Teen life state and brings never-before-seen gameplay functions to The Sims franchise. The Expansion pack is set to include a lot of new CAS and Build/Buy items for players to enjoy their High School Years experience, but The Sims custom content community also has plenty to offer for those who know where to look.
10 Zits As Face Details & Blush
Acne is one of many things that a lot of teens go through. Smells Like Teen Spirit is a set of zits that come as face details and as blush. These were made by Down In Simsland, before Sims 4: Parenthood was released which brought acne to the game officially.
Still, these zits that are modeled after the ones from The Sims 2, are a good addition to have to give teen Sims more variety. There are five different presets that come in four color complexions (pale, tan, medium, and dark), to fit Sims of all different skin tones. And with a version of the zits that come as blush, players can have zits that they can remove whenever they want to.
9 Teen Style Stuff
Teen Style Stuff is a collaboration between custom content creators Synthsims and Luumiasims. The "stuff pack" is full of CAS custom content that has some very 2000s-inspired looks. There are three different stylized looks: The Athlete, The It Girl, and The Punk Kid.
Each look comes with hair and at least three different clothing items with multiple swatches. There's even more customization to be had with the Distressed Crop and the Longline Sweater, as there are two versions of both included. One has an undershirt and the other does not, meaning that they can be paired with many different accessory tops.
8 Y2K Set
Originally, Y2K stood for the fear that all of the computers around the world would stop working once the year 2000 came around. Now, it's a trend that features a lot of very cute pink things. For players looking to make their teen Sims' room like that, the Y2K Set from Mechtasims just might be the set for them.
There are 17 pieces of custom content in the set, which includes a semi-functional bed, a CD player that works like a radio, and a lot of decor objects to place all around a teen Sim's room. Whether it's to relive the era vicariously through Sims or to hop on the current trend, this is the set to accomplish that.
7 The Gossip Collection
Everyone can't be a privileged high schooler in a teen drama, but players can dress their Sims as one with The Gossip Collection by Greenllamas. Inspired by the fashion of the Gossip Girl reboot, there are 15 CAS items for Sims: eight items for Sims with feminine frames, and seven for Sims with masculine frames.
It's a must-have CAS collection for players who want to style their Sims in modern preppy attire. For players who are fans of the reboot of Gossip Girl, they'll get a kick out of the file names for items, which include Monet Hair, Obie Rings, and Blair Blazer.
6 The Perfect Night - Geek
The Perfect Night - Geek is a set by Syboubou and has a lot of must-have items for the room of any geeky or gamer Sim. The seven-piece set includes a functional dual-screen computer and two sets of neon lights that say "Game On."
One is in English and one is in Similish for players who prefer a strict Simlish-only gameplay experience. It comes in a variety of colors to suit the style preference of any teen Sim. Players can have their teen Sims game, and maybe do a little homework in style.
5 Teenage Dreams
Caio's Teenage Dreams item collection is aptly named and could also be called a "player's dream" with the amount of stuff that comes with it. This wonderful collection was inspired by the theme and suggestions sent to Caio by his followers.
There are two distinct fashion styles that can be used to make punk and preppy teen Sims. The "rebel" look is perfect for any Sim looking to shake up the social order of school, while the "socialite" look is the fashionable choice for Sims who are social butterflies. Or, the items can be mixed and matched for those who'd rather not conform to any label.
4 Yearbook Poses
Whether they were something to look forward to or something to hate, no high school experience is complete without partaking in a Picture Day. Players can have one with their teen Sims using the Yearbook Pose pack by Someone Elsa. There are eight different full-body poses to show off a Sim's good side.
The pack comes with two different versions: one that can be used in CAS and one that can be used in-game with Teleport Any Sims and Pose Player. The poses override the default animation for the CAS traits Geek and Active. Only one of the CAS poses is needed.
3 The Trad Goth Collection
It's a little hard to make Sims of certain alternative fashion styles. It's easy to make preps, geeks, and jocks, and it's getting easier to make punk Sims too. However, for those who want Goth Sims and don't just want to dress them using items from The Sims 4's Vampire pack, Deathpoke1QA's Trad Goth Collection may just offer the perfect solution.
To celebrate reaching the milestone of 666 followers, Deathpoke1QA created a collection of Maxis Match Goth rock band designs. The designs use real-life band covers and make a Sims version of them. Covers from The Cure, Bauhaus, and The Damned are made available on tees and posters that Sims can wear and decorate their personal spaces.
2 Prom 2019 Collection
For some, prom is a rite of passage and a celebration for making it through four years of high school. In The Sims 4: High School Years, teen Sims will be able to experience prom themselves. Though the pack is sure to include some formal wear options for the event, it never hurts to have even more variety, and the Prom 2019 Collection can offer that variety.
Created through the collaborative efforts of Joliebean and Saurus, this collection has 15 new items. Six articles of clothing for masculine and feminine frames, six hairstyles, and three accessories which includes a corsage. Even teen Sims who don't get to be Prom King and Queen can dress like royalty with this collection.
1 The Sims 4 Teen Style Stuff
Simsi45's Teen Style Stuff is filled with a lot of Buy Mode and Build Mode custom content that can be used to create a teen Sim's dream bedroom. There are three different themes to choose from, each of which can be used to show off a teen Sim's personality as "Goth," "Thrasher," or "Socialite."
There are over 40 new items that include, beds, tables, wallpapers, floors, all sorts of different decor, and more. There are two parts to this custom content pack. Part 1 includes everything that is base game compatible, while Part 2 includes a vanity table that requires Vintage Glamour to be installed.
