It was also released on Steam on the 29th in Korea. The Sims 4 Expansion Pack ‘High School Life’has stimulated the expectations of fans with a notice that they will be able to experience high school life in the United States. However, when I opened the lid, the high school content itself was decent, but a number of users were unable to play the game properly due to fatal bugs that occurred before and following the release. This seems to be the reason why it did not stand out in the world’s best-selling products immediately following its release, even though it was an expansion pack with high interest.

Currently, the major bugs mentioned in the Sims 4 official channel are condensed into three. If you set your Sim lifespan to be longer or shorter than medium, your Sim will age too quickly, have strange relationships, such as saying they want to date a Sim in your family, or the appearance of a Sim not famous for their fame. In particular, it is often reported that a Sim who was a child turns into a teenager in 10 minutes, or attends a graduation ceremony following attending school twice as a high school student. The moment they start school, the Sims graduate and the content ends.

In addition to this, there is a big error in setting the relationship between Sims as a whole, such as a grandmother Sim who says she wants her son to be her boyfriend, an adult Sim who has never met each other, and a teenage Sim. The problem is that Sims randomly advance relationships regardless of user settings, regardless of age or family relationship. There are also large and small bugs, such as empty space where furniture should originally be placed, or some user modes not running.

In fact, as of 2:51 pm on August 1st, The Sims 4 High School Life Expansion Pack Steam user ratings were 107, and the ratings were generally negative (35%). Users who have played The Sims 4 on Steam are also pointing out that the aforementioned major bug has significantly disrupted play. In response, EA completed an investigation into the rapid aging and unintended relationships through the official Twitter of The Sims 4 on the 30th, and announced that it would be patched this weekend.
