<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>(Image credit: EA)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe centerpiece of the school year\u2014despite being called High School Years<\/em>, you only attend for a single year\u2014is prom, and you’ll be able to invite romantic partners or friends by performing a “prom-posal,” that embarrassing trend of holding up a big sign to invite someone instead of simply asking them. (You can also simply ask them). When prom day finally comes, you’ll be able to vote for which kids you think should be prom royalty and then hit the dance floor for some awkward, arms-length slow dances. Ah, the teen years. What an embarrassing nightmare.<\/p>\nAnd it wouldn’t be The Sims 4 without an occasional untimely death or two. While the expansion steers clear of flat-out bullying at school, you can play pranks on other students, like putting a stink bomb in their locker or trying to summon the infamous “Bloody Mary” by saying her name into a mirror. Most likely nothing will happen except a few laughs, but there’s a chance the victim of a prank may become so terrified they’ll legit die! Prank carefully, fellow kids.<\/p>\n\n\n

You know the ugly gamer chairs that have taken over the world? They’re in the Sims now, too.<\/p>\n
I haven’t gotten hands-on with the expansion pack yet, but it looks fun and there really seems to be a lot to it. It’ll give teenage characters much more to do then simply leave the house, vanish into a void, and then return hours later. There are also some additional features like growable body hair and basic sexual preference options (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a> being added to The Sims 4 for free alongside the expansion. The Sims 4 High School Years expansion will cost an eye-watering $40, and launches on July 28.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","type":"","auto_type":false,"post":"","stream":"","stream_url":"","waveform_data":[],"duration":0,"bpm":0,"downloadable":false,"download_url":"","purchase_title":"","purchase_url":"","post-count-all":0,"like_count":0,"download_count":0,"editor_note":"","copyright":"","captions":[]},"genre":[78],"artist":[17419],"mood":[],"activity":[],"station_tag":[18744,18711,7387,18723,18119,10610,177,18710,18750,18732,3862,9445,14116,18726,13258,18715,18719,18742,18712,18714,18729,5227,18749,16767,3702,18708],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/station\/1740772"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/station"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/station"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1740772"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"genre","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/genre?post=1740772"},{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=1740772"},{"taxonomy":"mood","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mood?post=1740772"},{"taxonomy":"activity","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/activity?post=1740772"},{"taxonomy":"station_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platogaming.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/station_tag?post=1740772"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
