Everything Included in The Sims 4’s High School Years Update

gamerant.com:

Several days ago, The Sims 4 received a new expansion pack titled High School Years. As its name suggests, the latest expansion focuses on teens' lives at school. However, before the release of The Sims 4: High School Years, the base game received a massive update accessible to all Sims 4 players regardless of what expansion pack they have installed.

Unfortunately, shortly after the update's release, Sims 4 players reported several bugs that caused many issues, such as the possibility of incest, rapid aging, and unintended fame. However, EA reassured fans that it is now working on a fix that should roll out soon. Despite current issues, the update introduced an extensive amount of new content to the game that should make the gameplay exciting.

The Sims 4: All Possible Ways To Kill a Sim

One of the biggest features of the latest Sims 4 update is Wants and Fears, replacing the game's Whims mechanic. Of course, veteran simmers would know that Wants and Fears were first introduced in Sims 2, but they will work slightly differently in Sims 4. The new Wants mechanic will have a few different types, such as complex wants, which are more long-term, simple wants, and situational wants, which are based on where a Sim is and what they are doing.

On the other hand, Fears won't be available at the beginning of a playthrough, given that they are formed as Sims go through their lives. For example, Sims who are currently in a relationship may develop a fear of being cheated on, or Sims who have experienced a house fire may develop a fear of fire. Additionally, the development of specific Fears will vary given that aside from experiences, they are also based on a Sim's existing traits.
