The Sims 4 brings teen Sims’ high school life to the virtual world, complete with all its ups and downs. For the first time, teen Sims have the choice to leave high school early, which is a big deal with its own set of pros and cons. Dropping out limits their career choices but doesn’t leave them without opportunities. Plus, there’s a new Entrepreneur Skill for Sims ready to start their own business.
How to Dropout: Steps and Methods
Ready to take this bold step? You’ve got two ways to do it. First, the easy digital way: Use your Sim’s computer, head to the high school menu, and click Drop Out of High School. Or, if you want a more personal touch, your Sim can talk directly to their school principal to make it official.
Life After Dropping Out
Dropping out doesn’t mean your Sim’s social life is over. They can still hit up events like prom and stay connected with friends. But, if they’ve got their eyes on Discover University, dropping out makes getting into college tougher. However, super talented Sims or those who hustle to get their diploma online still have a chance at higher education.
This decision comes with its share of downsides. Your Sim will miss out on after-school clubs and carry a negative sentiment for a while, affecting their mood and actions.
The game doesn’t end for dropouts. As young adults, they can take online courses to get their GED, opening up new career paths and opportunities. The Sims 4 is all about giving Sims second chances to explore and grow, no matter the choices they make.
Second Chances for Dropouts
Yes, in The Sims 4, dropping out doesn’t lock you out of university forever. Your Sim still has the chance to turn things around and dive into college life, proving that it’s never too late to go after your dreams in this game world.
